The Eyes of Silver Breeze

This clip starts as a cheerful ditty about potato salad, then takes an unsettling turn into Tod Browning territory. Make sure you watch until the end for the Ross Sisters' grand finale. You know what they say: the family that contorts their bodies beyond the limits of known human physiology together stays together. We're just glad the potato salad cartel had the product-placement budget to make all this possible.

Some of you might be too young to remember, but back in the 1970s, children used to go outside. In fact, children used to go outside without any supervision at all. They'd ride bikes, explore the woods, use toy guns… and no one thought it was strange! They called it "play" and it was considered to be an important part of growing up.

Videographer, blogger, St. Louisan, and all-around innaresting fella Bill Streeter had some nice things to say about Woot in our past life in the Gateway/Mound/Murder City. But I swear that even if I'd never heard of the dude, I'd still rep this video where he uses kinetic typography to bring the "paper bag" monologue from The Wire to life. Content, form, and presentation unite in Bill's capable hands. (There's some pretty mild NSFW language, but nothing you couldn't hear on prime-time network TV.)

Remember Bdale Garbee’s amazing rocket launch? Last year? He stuffed a gigantic model rocket with Woot monkeys and launched them into the blue?

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, there was one bad muthashut-yo-mouth by the name of Lando Calrissian. Some bearded fella in a plaid shirt tried to write and direct a story about him back in the seventies, but the big studios felt that the world wasn't ready for a man so smooth, so roguish, so bent against an empire built on the principles of The Man to be saving the universe. So the project ended up scrapped, rewritten, and re-shot to feature some whiny farm boy. I hear it was fairly popular at some point.

Directed by comic genius Ernie Kovacs with a score by musical genius Esquivel, this 1961 clip is like a Pixar short set in the offices of Sterling-Cooper, without so much as a single computer-generated pixel. Let it bring a little joy to your office as you struggle toward the weekend.

Yeah, yeah, we know they're not actually delicious and fattening breakfast dishes. The knock on gamers is that they're level 40 Galka warriors online and wheezing tubs of goo IRL, but the gang at PC Gamerz in Kaneohe, HI are not to be trifled with, as some would-be robbers recently discovered.

You guys like movies with mind-bending twists and somewhat confusing endings? Recent movie box office numbers certainly seem to say you do. With that in mind, we'd like to call your attention to a slightly underground gem that you can now watch for free through Google Video.
