I was inspired to do this by Adam's "Song of the Day" topic. In desperate times of utter boredom, I spend a lot of it on Youtube surfing around for entertainment. These are the videos that I have come across that either moved me, made me laugh, made me angry etc etc. and why they have done this. I am not limiting this to only videos, but music as well, since it's one of my biggest passions and I love to share it with people. Also if you have anything that you'd like me to watch/listen to, just post up the link, I'm always up for recommendations. Rick rollers will be killed immediately.
An indie-drama trailer of the legendary film Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Some of you have probably seen this bitty as it was pretty viral about a year ago. I come back to it every once in a while for inspiration, particularly the line "I'm not gonna sit on my ass as the events that effect me unfold to determine the course of my life, I'm gonna take a stand." The idea of the video is a little silly. The person who made it said that it was only an editing exercise. He wanted to see if he could make the film look like an indie coming-of-age drama, which really, it already is, but he definitely has exaggerated the dramatic aspects. I get chills every time I watch this and I almost wish that John Hughes had focused more on the drama like this video and less the comedy in the film. I digress, this is definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen it. See ya tomorrow.

o.o Why is this trailer so sad?! The film is like one of the funniest, best things ever! It's not meant to be all dramatic and stuff - it's a feel good film about not going to school, which really, is rather all too awesome. I wish I could lie to my teachers like Ferris

lol, well yeah it's mostly a comedy you're right, but there is drama involved like there is with all John Hughes films, namely Cameron being the cause of this having no feeling of self-worth because of his father(he did in fact try to kill himself). Actually, most of these scenes were already meant to serious so the trailer doesn't even really make sense.

Didn't have the time to post one yesterday, so I'll post two tonight.
One of the many reasons Psych is one of my favorite shows. I remember when I first saw this scene, I was eating a bowl of cereal and ended up spitting quite a good bit of it out all over my monitor. The scream Shawn does as he runs out just adds to the hilarity lmfao.

Eruption by Van Halen. It's greatness speaks for itself.

Eh, I'm horrible at keeping up with this. I will yet again post two videos in a day, because I missed yesterday.
A test of a new engine by the game developers behind the wonderfully dark and suspenseful Heavy Rain. While not confirmed that this will one day become a full game, it looks incredible and since Heavy Rain was too just a test of technology at first, I think it's safe to assume we'll see this gem in stores in the somewhat distant future. I'm really excited for that, as I loved Heavy Rain, besides the ending(s?) of course which were complete shit. I won't give any details about the video 'cause I don't want to spoil anything, it's best to just watch it.
