I saw this 5-minute animation as part of a touring animation festival a few years ago, and absolutely fell in love.  Yesterday I saw someone had posted a link to it on Veoh, and had to sit and watch it again.  It’s a dark but hilarious video about a very odd bunch of soldiers entitled “Fallen Art”.  Link.

I don’t think I need to say anything that this trailer doesn’t say for itself.  Enjoy!

Oh Batman, is there anything you can’t do? YouTube – The Dark Knight (A.K.A. Batman) Goes Shopping

Go check out this great video about getting put in the doghouse for getting the wrong gift for your significant spouse.  Too bad it’s an ad for jewlery.  For my money, go check out ChangingThePresent.com to look for worthwhile gifts, but go suck up some of JC Penny’s bandwidth and have a laugh.  Link.

A great little video with Neil “Dr. Horrible” Patrick Harris, Jack “Tenacious D” Black, Allison “C.J. Craig” Janey, John “C.” C. Reilly, and many more.

Thanks to Systemic Lindsay for sending this over.  What better way to waste time on a Friday?

OK so of all the songs on my computer, there is 1 song you will find repeated the most.  That song is St. Louis Blues.  I have something like 47 different versions of it.  I guess I could’ve picked any 1 song, but I love to see how many different ways artists can have their own takes on the same song (FULL DISCLOSURE: My favs are by Cannonball Adderley, Emir Deodato, and Johnny Lytle).  When I stumbled over yet another version and this one had a puppet guitar in it, well, this is why people have blogs.  To post the sort of crap that they want to post about.  This has nothing to do with my usual topics of weirdness (maybe it does), design, Mad Men, etc. but I just had to share all the same.
