Medea’s Video Pick of The Day

CAREYOUKEEP.COM

Wonders that old jokes that I read in my many FWD’ed emails would turn up on film.

From Iran:

When I first saw this I could not believe what I saw.  If this original 1989 Batman The Movie Trailer is accurate, That Dark Knight trailer is an updated rehash, nearly frame by frame. 

At the time of this writing I have not been able to find a trailer that matches the top 1989 frame.  So my guess it is a hoax, but a brilliant piece of editing. Then again, some pretty wierd stuff has been lurking regarding the Dark Knight for quite sometime.

Try the 866 number. Ha ha.

I was out in my out-of-control garden today plucking the dried heads of my pansies when out of the blue I started humming the below song:

I completely forgot how funny and how brilliantly choreographed this routine is.

Best clip I could find was only 1:40 minutes.  I wonder if the judging didn’t go so well?  Anyone know?

Love Cirque du Soleil, even though it has become on the saturated side in Las Vegas.  But there seem to be no end in the multi-BILLION dollar enterprise, and people can’t get enough of it.

Regarding the below video, you ever get the feeling you are in a wheel in this rat race called corporate america? From CdS’s 25 Anniversary.

Crazy, huh?

Think that was crazy?  How about this variation?

I am about as curmudgeonly as Lewis Black (could be the perpetual PMS) and so in honor of Earth Day, here is his take on the holiday from 2007.

You can tell I can’t stand celebrity endorsement either. But here is what this Jane Schmo did for this day (and every day).

•  
  • Use Flourescent bulbs everywhere and got rid of the dimmers. (I am not the romantic type) (less electricity)
  • Use cold water for my laundry (less oil consumption)
  • Use only vinegar, salt, and baking soda as household cleaners…sometimes lemons, too. (less to no harsh chemicals)
  • Freecycle (Less landfill, less gas to buy, no money to spend on usable stuff)
  • Keep a small veggie garden and grow organically. (no oil to spend on trucking veggies out of state and country)
  • Buy local produce and products (keeps money in your state)
  • Get off the junk mail lists (keeps money in your wallet and save a few trees)
  • Recycle to the point I have one bag of garbage a week (and we are a family of four)
  • For those strong of stomach…’If it’s yellow, let it mellow; if it’s brown, flush it down’. (You save on average 6 - 7 gallons of water if you cut back on the flushing, unless you use one of those 1.5 gallon tanks [kudos!])
  • Walk or use a bicycle to go into town to run your errands. (No gas and your heart will thank you for it)
  • Compost (no need for fertilizer)
  • Cloth shopping bags or rucksacks (no waste on paper or using plastic)
  • Use the library instead of buying a book (less gas and paper usage)
  • View/rent Netflix online instead of going to first run movies (no need for gas)
  • Telecommute or run your business out of your house (no gas required)
  • Read the newspaper online
  • Cook from scratch

Still coming up with new ideas.  See you next year.

States and Schools really need to see the importance of supporting the local small farms and buying local produce for school lunches. The video below are youth teams from various Vermont schools to come up with lunches that use only Made In Vermont produce! I don’t see a downside to this. Do you?

You think the big time, bloated politicians can learn something from this?

As you all know I do not have a television hooked up to ‘outside’ you will. I have been hearing for days as the the most recent presidential debate has been considered the worst…ever. I checked out Daily Show’s John Stewart’s Commentary…Oh My God…I am going to be sick…External Links.

Part I

Part II

Part III

Will someone PLEASE have NPR moderate a REAL debate?! Or are the candidate too scared *%#(@-less to allow some real questions to be brought to light like, how the hell are we going to get out of Iraq, when are we going to have manufacturing jobs brought back to the United States (can you say Made In The USA?), will you have Congress finally put the kabash on Corporate Welfare…you get my point…

Hot, hot, hot! Marlee Matlin dances the Samba! You go, girl! External Link.
