Siskel and Ebert absolutely slam a snooty Star Wars-hating critic back in 1983.

Pausing at 2:50. So far, I don't necessarily disagree with John Simon, and Siskel and Ebert seem to have missed his point. Play.

Next question. Simon is arguing a principle, not the movie. Ebert wins this next round. Yowza.

Next question. Ope, Simon is making a good point. Kind of dismissively, but fair response.

Siskel: Missing the point again.

Siskel's question: Fair point by Simon.

Verdict: They have competing theories about what it means to review film. Most modern reviewers sound more like S&E, because they were shaped by S&E. Simon isn't a bad guy, he just got phased out.

I agree with everyone in that video. But award the game to S&E for not sounding like evil German scientists.

Huck Finn is a classic example of going to the mansion. It's probably one of the definitive ones.

That was great.

Fun short. Cool animation and I thought B&W was a great choice for it. If memory serves, they showed it in theaters before Wreck-It Ralph. Is that right?

WARING: Considering recent events this video is fairly disturbing. Please be warned. If anyone wishes me to delete this post I will do it without hesitation. However, it is a twelve minute long single take, and I think it's very impressive. It is a depiction of a school shooting at a high school. I believe this is from a Germen TV show. If you want to understand what they are saying be sure to turn closed captioning on. Again, I don't wish to offend anybody by posting this, but I think the work is worth viewing.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt whipped out his video camera and confronted some paparazzi who were firing flashbulbs in his face. They were dicks about. It's pretty fun to watch.

So.I got into a rather, well...let's be honest here...excessive chain of acapella Disney covers on youtube while I was working.

Here's the highlights.

First up, the ever amazing Nick Pitera.

EDIT: Bullet....hooooooly shit that was awesome. I love when they can get tech like that into the hands of people who actually know what they're doing. Although it makes me wonder how far we are from being able to create full body (Or at least upper body) virtual sims of ourselves that can interact with a virtual environment in any meaningful way. Her movements remind very heavily of how the Virtual systems are used in Otherland. Very cool.
