Jason Mraz - I'm Yours (live)

I love this song more and more each time I listen to it; this live version filmed at a show in Seoul truly kicks ass. I have a feeling it may because of his sidekick rocking the bongos.

Talladega Nights End Credits And Bloopers

I think this film may have overtaken Anchorman as my favorite Will Ferrell movie thus far. Just too many genious lines to quote endlessly.

MUTO - a wall-painting animation

My brother originally sent me this and it instantly took my breath away: surreal, trippy, disturbed, genious.

Krav Maga - Gun Defense

Krav maga is the official self defense system of the Israeli Defense Forces. It was founded by Imi Lichtenfield in Czechoslovakia in the 1930s, who later moved to Israel during WWII. This system stresses survival and defense in life-threatening situations with the goal being threat neutralization, followed by safe and rapid escape. I use it sometimes on my wife when she wants sexy time and I'm too tired; it works.

University of Michigan - The Friars: North Face Girl

The Friars are the country's best higher education acapella group; my roommate freshman year was one of their stud members. I happened across one of their videos and am happy to see that they're doing well and still pulling crowds to packed shows as I remember.

The Office (US): Bloopers

Hilarious, brilliant and genious. I know there's a fairly heated debate about which version is better but thus far I have to say that the US version has the UK version beat hands down, though the UK cast is just as talented and hilarious.

Gap - The Futurias cover of The Kooks

All these guys videos are great - keep on rockin' down under.

Time Lapse: LA to NYC

Cool clip and soundtrack.

Heat - Bank Robbery & Shootout

Best 10 minutes of crime-movie history. Period.

Luke Pritchard (The Kooks) - Mr. Maker

I don't like this version as much as the electric one but it's still good! For any yet-to-be fans of The Kooks, I would recommend their recent album Konk.

30 Rock: Random Kenneth Parcell Quotes

Kenneth Parcell aka Jack McBrayer is 'da bomb. The only concern I'd have if I were him is getting type-cast as he's been cast as the lovable idiot in a few movies at this point (Talladega Nights, Forgetting Sarah Marshall). But he's still awesome.

Microsof Excel: Best Shortcut Keys

Since you've probably wasted a good amount of time already watching pointless videos posted on this blog, I should probably give you smoething useful so you don't feel like a complete waste. So here you go.

Eddie Izzard: Death Star Canteen

Eddie asks a legitimate question: when and where did the soldiers stationed on the Death Star eat? The Legos add legitimacy in my opinion.

HipHop Dance-Off: "Let 'da robot dance"

Their moves are slightly better than my macarena and lawn-mower (only slightly).

Zeitgeist The Movie - Part 2 of 13: Religion

For some strange reason, I love conspiracy theories - always have and pretty sure I always will. It all goes back to my middle-school days when I used to spend library time looking up books on Bigfoot, UFOs and the Lochness Monster. Zeitgeist is a 2007 film which purports a global conspiracy involving religion, govenment and the financial system as a whole. I'm fairly certain this film is about as extreme as conspiracy movies get, but it certainly does get your brain juices flowing (and it helps the day go by faster).

French Beatboxer on French Idol

I could watch this guy all day long. I'm pretty sure though he didn't make it that far on French Idol. I guess he's the French version of Blake Lewis, albeit 3x his size.

Best K1 KO's Ever

I've been Kickboxing over the past 2 years and recommend it to anyone looking for a more intense work-out or even looking for a reason to. Knowing how to throw a good punch is useful for anyone these days, though you'll quckly learn that 99% of all martial arts involves handling yourself in a way where you won't find yourself in a situation where you need to defend yourself. But if you do, you will at least be prepared to defened yourself. Here in HK, we are involved with two schools (both of which kick our ass whenever we go): http://www.thaimatic.com/ and Prime Thai boxing (both in Causeway Bay). If you're interested in checking out a free class, lemme know!

WQXR The Cool Breeze (Derrick Comedy)

Brilliant.

"...and interestingly enough, earlier he was attempting to lure us out of the room using various types of bait...let's see there was water, pictures of our family, and recently a fully cooked steak." "He actually got a steak and just cooked it fully...y'know...he's a wolf." (1:35)

The Tourist - Radiohead

Still one of my favorite songs of all time - never saw the video before either. It's a little much if you're a first-time Radiohead listener (if you are, you should be taken out into the street and beaten) but the video's style/pace is perfect to the band and this song. Enjoy!

TRAILER: Raising Arizona (1987)

This is a classic Coen Brothers film before they started to dabble in really dark stuff. With brilliant performances by Nicolas Cage, Holly Hunter and John Goodman, as well as a kick-ass soundtrack, I highly recommend it.

Posted for the cinematic erudition of my friend David.
