I Watch Twilight and Scott Pilgrim Trailers and React



Warning: There is no screaming or nudity in this video.

UPDATE: I watched the "Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World" trailer to give things an even fight (stuff many girls are crazy about against stuff many guys are crazy about). It is below. There is also no screaming or nudity in this video.

Here's What I've Been Doing Instead of Blogging

Where does the time go?

Honestly, it goes here:

Twitter -- If you aren't on it or following me, you are basically missing 140 character blog entries from me a few times a day. It's called micro-blogging ... go on, get some.

Facebook -- Where you can find out what I'm up to, what events I'll be attending or participating in, which celebrities I look like and what we have in common, if anything.

World of Warcraft -- Yes, I still play. You still golf (or other hobby), don't you? Plus, Patch 3.2 is going to be super cool.

Plants vs. Zombies -- I can lose 2 hours on this game faster than any other tower defense game I've ever played. Try for free here.

Southland -- Watch this show. I'm not kidding. Not since "The Shield" have I been this excited about a TV show featuring L.A., criminals, police and detectives.

You: "Oh, but I've seen enough cop dramas."
Me: "Stop. Right. There. It's not at all like anything else on TV right now which means it's good. Not perfect, but really really good."
(Scene.)

Note: It was a shortened season and the finale was last week. Still, check out episodes on NBC. The network has ordered 13 episodes for Fall 2009. *Update: NBC cancelled the show but TNT picked it up. Check it out in January 2010.

Crossfit -- Took a 10 day break early in May but am back at it and killing myself for a better me. The gains I've made in performance are so crazy! And I think I've lost a little weight too.

Family and Friend Time -- Watch a video of kids cavorting and dancing below. Also, Mega Trampoline Wrestling Gauntlet of Doom (not pictured) could become a family summer evening tradition.



Sorry about the month-long break, readers. I guess the point I am making with this post is that the problem is spreading myself too thin with my online time. I could blog more if I wasn't so interested in what quizzes you are all taking on FB or what Eric D. Snider is tweeting.

I've actually been thinking of devoting more time to the TV blog we started a few months back and taking it more seriously. Maybe making it into a legit enterprise. Would that interest any of you? Would you read a blog about TV from me and my friends?

Video Highlight: Urban Legend Tribute

I love scary stories, urban legends and slasher movies. And my wife and I made a music video that is a tribute to all three.

Amelia and I were happy to work together to plan, shoot, make-out and stay up late to make this thing come together. Amelia came up with the song, concept and costumes, of course. We shot it by ourselves using available light and stacks of books, chairs, tool boxes and the hood of our car for a tripod. I then quickly had to learn how to use iMovie and edit it together. For what it is, I think it's fun and perfect for Halloween. Enjoy? Watch it and tell me if you get it. (Lyrics posted below the video window.)



This is not the first time -- you tried to get away
This is not a party -- where people know your name
This is not a classroom -- with teacher at the board
This is not a cat show -- with prizes at the door

Chorus
Go -- don't you go
Won't you stay with me one more day
If we get through one more night
If we get through one more night

This is not a horse race -- where winners beat the time
This is not a funeral -- with mourners in a line
This is not a sitcom -- where everything's alright
This is not a prison -- with terror through the night.

Chorus, etc.

Happy Halloween, readers!

Video Highlight: What's Darth Vader's Favorite Treat?



My daughter made this joke up one day. We asked her to tell it again here. She's four and already way more funny than I.

Video Highlight: The Carousel

This clip is from my current favorite TV show "Mad Men." If I could present and write for my clients like these guys, I'd be guaranteed a job for the rest of my life.



"Mad Men" is in reruns on AMC. Check it out.

Video Highlight: Art of Words

I have recently been gaining interest in typography. Wake up! Stay with me. Ok ... It's probably because of my job. I am trying to gain more skills and knowledge as to make myself more valuable to the company and a knowledge of this will help, I think.

But I stumbled across some great You Tube videos like this one that take audio from movies and TV shows, etc. and using only type, fonts, movement, design and other technical terms I don't know, make them as entertaining, if not more, than the original piece they are based on.



Here's the classic "Who's On First?" from Abbot and Costello. Check it.

Video Highlight: RC Mario

Those of you who obsessively played "Super Mario Bros." when it came out (or who had siblings who did) will appreciate this.

Video Highlight: Muppet Bloopers

I loved the Muppets when I was a kid. Still do, really. So I was pleased to find this on Filmjunk.com as a part of their Weird Web Wednesday feature.

Video Highlight: Neutral Milk Hotel

Band: Neutral Milk Hotel
Song: In the Aeroplane over the Sea

One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite CDs of all time. This band is no longer together but Jeff Mangum (seen here) has popped up a few times to play a few shows.

Some selected lyrics:

"And when we meet on a cloud
I'll be laughing out loud
I'll be laughing with everyone I see
Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all"

YouTube and Me

I created a YouTube page that contains some of the commercial, industrial and web shoots I have done.
