Dark Knight Video Review by Fans

Posted on July 17th, 2008 by Merlin.

Had to share this review of the Dark Knight - A friend at work got to see it on Tuesday and she loved it and will be seeing it again - She confirms that you need to see it on IMAX - With several of the sections filmed for IMAX - I am told they just POP and are Fantastic. Most of the movie is show letterbox but when the IMAX portions are on the screen they fill up the screen and come alive. (Just what I have heard) I can’t wait - I have my ticket for Saturday at the local IMAX theater. I really can’t wait - I just hope I can make it without anyone spilling the beans on how the movie was.

Now On to the Video Review:

Andy Warhol: Eating a Hamburger: And was a Video Blogger

I just came across this video of Andy Warhol - Who happens to be one of my favorite artists. Another Pittsburgher like iJustine that started video blogging. This video below is just a small sample of Andy Warhol’s interest in everyday objects and making it art. Yes, it is a little strange - but no more stranger then what people do on a daily basis video blogging, podcasting, blogging. Real life recorded - Some art - some journalistic - and some just plain weird. But that is just me. Now my comment on this video - Andy didn’t know the secret of getting Heinz Ketchup out of the bottle - Holding it at a 45 degree angle and hitting the bottle on / around the Heinz logo on the glass.

What is Twitter you ask - I mentioned it in a earlier blog and got a question to explain it - Well, instead of re-inventing the wheel I will post the video from CommonCraft - Who did the earlier video about what is a blog.

So, now start following your friends 140 Characters at a time.

FOOD FIGHT: Zing it at them!!!

My friend Bart just sent this at a tweet in twitter and had to share this.

This would be a nice un-fair advantage to the average food fight. But I think I finally found a good use for Brussels Sprouts. “I have some Brussels Sproots here do you waant anee” (Said in a Scottish Accent or a bad Sean Connery) I would love to have MK saying this right now….

I could just see the kids having a blast with these. Load them up with some mashed potatoes and Zing Away. I could see more food wasted them actually eaten.

That remind me of one of my favorite movies - Animal House - From National Lampoon - Ahh the good old movies. Will have to get it from Unboxed and watch it on the way to work.

Well - It is that time of the year again - The Super Bowl Just finished a few hours ago and all the ads are up on YouTube for you to vote on your favorite ad.

This year the creative ads were much better then last year. My votes goes to the following few ads.

5th Place - I loved the Pepsi -ad with Justin Timberlake because he gets hit, hurt and knocked out. :-) Sorry Justin - Just thought it was quite funny. Plus Anyone want to give me their Pepsi Points - Feel Free to Add them to the comments section. They will go to good use. (Wink Wink)

4th place - I have to say the Breathing Fire with Bud Light was Good - First Romantic and then….

3rd and 2nd - I would have to give it to Bridgestone for two of their ads:

Scream:

and Unexpected Objects in Road - Loved the Ending well I like the ending in my mind better.

And in 1st Place
