Noteworthy Video Dump
Forum rules
We once roamed the vast forums of Corona Coming Attractions. Some of us had been around from The Before Times, in the Days of Excelsior, while others of us had only recently begun our trek. When our home became filled with much evil, including the villainous Cannot-Post-in-This-Browser and the dreaded Cannot-Log-In, we flounced away most huffily to this new home away from home. We follow the flag of Jubboiter and talk about movies, life, the universe, and everything, often in a most vulgar fashion. All are welcome here, so long as they do not take offense to our particular idiom.

Re: Noteworthy Video Dump
Oh. I remember. It's a section of video from "This Is America" synced with audio from "Call Me Maybe." Probably got hit with a copyright notice.

(It's different, I think. The other one synced all her words to his mouth movements.)

I saw the first one you posted and got a good chuckle out of it, so you can rest easy.

Re: Noteworthy Video Dump
This hip-hop album reviewer discovers Rage Against the Machine, and the pure joy he experiences is simply contagious. "Rage Against the Machine" is a kick-ass album and, sadly, still relevant.

Re: Noteworthy Video Dump
This guy, Rick Beato, has a YouTube series titled "What Makes This Song Great?" The series title itself annoys me a bit because what most of the videos boil down to is simply a breakdown/analysis of the elements making up each song without much commentary by Beato as to what exactly he thinks makes the songs great. I guess it's implied that the intricacy of the mix or the quality execution of the constituent elements are what makes the songs great. Maybe he could state that more clearly is what I'm saying.
I did like this particular video, mainly because it's about Soundgarden, but I also liked Beato's reactions to the isolated vocal track.

Re: Noteworthy Video Dump
I think he probably just appealed to SEO to figure out what headlines would get him views. He appears to have at least two or three assistants helping him figure out how to reach people.
I'm a subscriber. It's neat to hear from an industry insider with genuine insights, even if he is occasionally some mix of smug, grumpy, and pushily opinionated. I like that it's clear he's not just some kid doing research and regurgitating talking points he's read on wikis and message boards. He approaches things practically, knows his stuff, and knows how to keep things interesting for viewers whether or not they know anything about music.

Pete Holmes looks a bit like John Ritter.

Re: Noteworthy Video Dump
I feel like one of us has (maybe both of us have) made the comparison before.
Weirdly enough, I thought while watching this dude last night that he, too, bore a slight Rittsemblance:

Re: Noteworthy Video Dump
I watched The NeverEnding Story 2 when it first came to video, didn't like it... and watching this I now know I blocked the entire thing from my mind.
One thing re: the names in the book. Ende has some crazy ones, but Ralph Mannheim, who translated it, took a bunch of the character names, discarded them, and made up his own crazy replacement names. This happened in the first English translation of Momo, too - the translator completely threw away a nice pun on Marx in one of Gigi's stories by renaming a king. That said, the Rock Biter (Felsenbeißer - I refuse to say Rock Chewer)'s name is indeed Pjörnrachzarck.
Edited because I wrote this on my phone at work originally, and I cannot properly phone-type.

This is one of the better things Ridley Scott has done in recent years.
