The Gentleman Pickpocket

The Gentleman Pickpocket

This was so much fun! If you want to be truly impressed by a “thief” then this is the one to watch.

I’ll tell you, even after watcing it and him somewhat explaining it I have a hard time imagining how to do it. Watch it! You will enjoy it!

Portal Gun - Fact or Fictional

Portal Gun - Fact or Fictional

This is fun, and I’ve posted stuff from Fact or Fictional before, and I’ve talked about Portal before. Well, I’ve talked about GLaDOS from Portal before, specifically as it relates to Pacific Rim. So this is related, right? Right?!?

Look, just go with me on this, it’s related.

Have fun:

Morning Fun - This is Not Riker’s Beard

Morning Fun - This is Not Riker’s Beard
Arthouse Cowboy

The second season of Star Trek: The Next Generation saw a very important addition to the crew: Commander Riker’s trademark beard. This is not that beard:

I forgot about Data’s short lived attempt at a beard. As I recall, Counsellor Troi could hardly contain herself and had to stifle the giggling as she ran from the room.

Fun stuff.

If Disney Made ‘Star Wars’

If Disney Made ‘Star Wars’

Here, let me bring you a little bit of funny on this fine Friday morning.

This is so horrible, but so funny. It’s a must see. And we can be glad that Disney did not make the original Star Wars films, although this may have been an improvement over the prequels.

Warning, you will probably never be able to unsee this when watching Star Wars in the future.

Mission Impossible - The Piano Guys and Lindsey Stirling

Mission Impossible - The Piano Guys and Lindsey Stirling

Yo Mission Impossible fans, and movie geeks, or just geeks in general: this may be relevant to your interests!

Lindsey Stirling teamed up with The Piano Guys to do a Mission Impossible music video. The result is pure geek awesomeness. How could it be anything else when you put together such talented musicians with a flare for the dramatic? The Piano Guys are doing some of the most creative work around these days. And seriously, who doesn’t like Lindsey Stirling? Check it out! And be sure to watch the “deleted scenes” at the end.

Evolution of the Enterprise

Evolution of the Enterprise

If you will indulge my geeky side a moment. I know a few of you don’t like the Star Trek stuff, so if you are one of those, feel free to skip over this. I could not resist.

Though the style of this video with the over the top announcery voiceover is a little pompous and self important, I found this video to be really fun for the geek in me, showing the evolution of the Enterprise through out the Star Trek timeline (except for the new timeline of the JJ Abrams films).

The description on YouTube says this was taken from the Star Trek: Enterprise DVD Extras so you might want to watch…

Cheetah Running at 1200 Frames Per Second

Cheetah Running at 1200 Frames Per Second

This is not related to any movie or TV show really, but it’s really awesome and I wanted to share it with you.

National Geographic captured a cheetah running 60 MPH at 1200 frames per second. Resulting 24 frames per second playback results in this super slo-mo, super awesome video. Seriously, I can’t think of a cooler thing to watch this morning. It’s a good thing that kitty is somewhat tame, because nobody is going to be outrunning it! Check it out! Toward the end in the credits, you can see how fast that little kitty is actually running.

 

The Piano Guys - ‘Lord of the Rings’

The Piano Guys - ‘Lord of the Rings’

The Piano Guys are awesome and this is soooo worth watching.

From the YouTube Page:

All of the sounds you hear were created by cello, piano, and vocal textures

This video was all filmed within a 20-mile radius in Southern Utah! There’s a rumor they might film The Hobbit II here. Well, at least there is now. =)

Story behind the song:

Since the beginning of The Piano Guys, “Lord of the Rings” has been our most requested work. As we reach one million subscribers we thought it fitting to dedicate this arrangement to our “subs.” This was an intimidating project—encompassing…

Happy Thanksgiving!

Willem Dafoe (on the right there) is ready to carve a Thanksgiving turkey, how about you?

On this Thanksgiving day, I personally am thankful for my friends, my family, my kids, the country I live in, a great year of films, the launch of MovieByte this year, and all of you. You guys are absolutely the best and you make this site possible!

Other than Joseph’s review of Lincoln which he finished yesterday, and we released today, and this post you’re reading right now, we won’t be posting today. Joseph and I will be spending time with our respective family and…
