Video Dump
For some reason I don't quite feel like discerning, iTunes has a hard time playing audio when I've got video files open on Firefox ... sometimes. So since I want to listen to "The Bad Touch" before I head off to Florida tomorrow, here are the videos I currently have open:
- First off, someone (I hear the BBC) did a live version of the intro to the Simpsons. It is terrifically well done, but it would still be worth seeing otherwise: the alternate version of the same intro you've seen for years is striking.
- So Saturday Night Live doesn't exactly seem up for letting people post their sketches online, but they do seem to put stuff up on their own site. Thank goodness, since they just did a new Lazy Sunday-style rap video, in which Natalie Portman shows us what she's really all about. I know it's crazy, but I still think Andy Samberg (the guy who wrote this, and appears at the end in a viking costume) is going to change the face of rap. Also check out the audio-only TheHeist mp3.
- I've never been into comic books at any point in my life - I don't even think I've read one the whole way through - but for some reason a good superhero movie totally drives me insane with awesomeness. Combine that with how great movie trailers have gotten these days, and I shouldn't have been surprised that the trailer for X-Men 3 has me so excited. I hear this is the last movie with all the X-Men together, and a lot of them don't make it out. Nonetheless, this looks great. Check it out.
