Final Fantasy: otaku nerds pwn bullies

You do not need to understand Japanese to love this video I stole from Japanprobe. It’s two anime nerds (otaku) facing down two bullies, Final Fantasy style. The reading of the scroll is particularly moving, I must say, and the stylistic violence is reminiscent of early Peckinpah although the unconventional heros evoke Tony Ching Siu-tung‘s more humorous masterpieces.

conspiracy 911: the real reason it happened

Another video from apeman, the twisted Canuckistani genius who brought Hinterland’s Who’s Who’s Crack Spider into being.

Again, I’m sticking the video and lyrics over the jump because I was told that it was kinder to the people on dialup and also because I hope this way I won’t have to do a bloody restart every time my cache fills up.

Drunk jedi rumble at Leia’s party

Princess Leia is packing heat and attitude! 

This was all over the Tatooine group on Facebook last week, although I came to it via this link.

Leia‘s boozy 22nd birthday party is ruined when a lightsaber duel breaks out. The YouTube is over the jump (yes, I hate that but Dr Mike says it’s kinder to people with dialup).

Where is Banditcar when you need him?!?!?!?!

CSI Miami: snappy lines and sunglasses

Video: David Caruso works the one-liners and specs. And he works them like they’ve never been worked before.

What a facial tic is to Robert DeNiro, what a cane was to Charlie Chaplin, what breasts were to Anna Nicole Smith, sunglasses are to David Caruso. In uniting his limitless repetoire of placement and removal with his unmatched ability to deliver the cutting and dramatic one-liner, this video has perfectly showcased the entire range of Caruso‘s talent in less than four minutes.
