This Too Shall Pass

Okay Go's video This Too Shall Pass from their Of the Blue Colour of the Sky album is insane.

Alright, I know there's some movie magic involved here. But still. The amount of time and effort to put this whole thing together is K-RAZY!

Double Rainbow - What Does It Mean?

This is all the rage. Love it!

If you haven't seen them yet, watch the first video and then the second. It'll brighten your day!

Embrace Life

New commercial out of England. Well-done and poignant, I thought, without being overdone.

So buckle up y'all, and EMBRACE LIFE!

Narnia

I super-duper love CS Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia. I always have. Read them over and over and over throughout my life-time.

I thought both movie adaptions (The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian) were extremely well executed, faithful to the books and entertaining.

However, I was under the impression that the second movie had underperformed and that neither movies became the behemoth phenomenon the studio was expecting hoping. Thus, no more Narnia movies.

So it was with great excitement that I have just discovered the third movie adaptation: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. It looks just as good as the previous movies!

Release date is December 10, 2010. Can't wait!

NOTE TO THE STUDIO HEADS: Please film the final movie now so the Pevensie kids don't grow up before you get there.

(For those of you who haven't read the series ... the intervening books don't include the same children.)

Do you like Celine?

I do, and I think this is funny.

Fun with YouTube

Here are two fun videos I found. Short and sweet. I thought they were funny.

Boo United!

So ... awhile back I had a run-in with American Airlines, and I vented my frustration here. However, it was all monetary.

Unfortunately, Dave Carroll had a much more personal run-in with a different airline: United Airlines.

And boy ... I bet they regret it now.

Dave took his frustration a step further than I did. Instead of a boring blog post, he created a video. In fact, it's supposed to be the first of three. So take that United Airlines! And American ... next time I'm making my own video, too!

But, I bet it won't be as funny as Dave's ...

All the Single Ladies Do What?

This made me totally guffaw! Enjoy!

Crazy Bride!

Fake or not, I love this video!



And, now, the "explanation":

Is Twilight the New Harry Potter???

I’ve finally jumped on the Twilight bandwagon. I know, I know, it’s a little “after the fact”. So sue me.

I love Harry Potter, and I just couldn’t bring myself to betray that series by reading the Twilight series. Until now.

One of my fellow cast members bought the Twilight DVD, and I’d heard that people who’ve read the book didn’t like the movie. I don’t really know why that matters, but I decided to give in, watch the movie, and then read the books to finally see for myself what all the fuss was about.

And I finally finished reading the fourth book, Breaking Dawn. I love the world that Stephanie Meyer has created, and I love the characters, specifically the Cullen family.

However ... I’m amazed that these books became the phenomenon they are. Mostly because I don’t like Bella, the book’s protagonist. It’s not that she isn’t smart or determined. No. She just whines a lot. And complains a lot. Like how she doesn’t want to go to prom. Or graduation. Or receive any gifts. It’s just soooooo unfair, she says. A LOT!

Why would anyone want to be with her? She just isn’t an attractive character to me. And yet, everyone in the series seems to be drawn to her. Odd paradox.

Of course, in the fourth book, she isn’t nearly as annoying. She's actually likable. Instead it’s Jacob Black who annoyed the heck out of me. I guess there always has to be one irritating character in Meyer’s books.

The other thing I can’t wrap my head around is the cold vampires. Every time I read a passage about how Bella kisses the cold, marble lips of Edward, I’m left ... well, cold. Why anyone would positively yearn to curl up into the hard, frigid arms of a chilly, rigid vampire is beyond me. Just doesn’t sound all that pleasant.

But ... even still, the fourth book wrapped up the series well. It was a satisfying conclusion which is oh-so-important to me. Meyer's climaxes are odd, though, in that they’re never really climaxes. Just resolutions to the conflict. Strange.

Oh, well. You know I’ll be buying a movie ticket when New Moon arrives in theaters.

And speaking of ... have you seen the trailer? It's awesome! Enjoy!

Les Miz Bloopers

I grew up on Les Miserables. It was my first musical ... 

My first cast album and my first live Broadway show: a touring production I saw at the Ordway in Minnesota. I love love LOVE Les Miz because of the show itself and because of the nostalgia associated with it.

And so ... this compilation of Les Miz bloopers brought tears (of laughter) to my eyes!!!

 

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. (Thanks to Patrick for bringing it to my attention!)

I Wanna Live Forever

Have you seen the trailer for the new Fame movie? I wasn’t interested at all before. Now I am.

Great trailer for what looks like a great movie. Although, now I have high expectations. Hope the movie is as good as the trailer promises.

Kristin Chenoweth's Addiction

Hilarious! Who knew Kristin Chenoweth would ever be in the same sentence as meth addiction?!

Rubber Boy

I've seen lots of female contortionists, but it's rare to see a male one. And he's definitely flexible!

Rubber Boy

Lifted

Here's a cute little Pixar short called Lifted that was nominated for an Oscar in 2006 or 2007. I guess it played in theaters before Ratatouille, but I wouldn't know. I only saw that movie on DVD. Yet I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it. Much better than I had originally anticipated.

Anyway ... Lifted reminds me of my very first driving lesson ... sort of ... Enjoy!

My favorites

I think these may be my two favorite YouTube videos of all-time. I mean, c'mon. You can't beat the innocence of children. They're just so funny!

Injured, Injured Bad



Monster Baby

MORE Planet Unicorn

It seems lately I'm blogging less and posting videos more. Well, as my beloved Kathy Griffin would say, "Suck it!"

Eventually I'll write lengthier posts.

For now, enjoy some new adventures from Planet Unicorn. I think they're getting less funny as they go on ... and yet ... I love them so ...

Episode #5 "Debbie"



Episode #6 "Christmas in February"

Real Life Frogger

WHAT?! I guess this was taped from a traffic camera. I don't even know how it's possible, but I guess seeing is believing. You'll probably have to watch it twice.

Singing Prodigy

This little girl is ah-mazing!

She's the next Charlotte Church, the next Celine, the next Mariah, the next Judy, the next ... uhm ... the next ... great 6 year old?
