It's pretty much just always downhill for Donnie. I love the You suck at photoshop series. You should too. Especially since we can't put the title of the video series' name in the headline.
Anyway, enjoy the next episode of what is probably the most negative positive learning technical experience on the web.
I laughed. I cried. I remembered that I used to own the barbie dolls and then I cried again. STUPID HORMONES WHY DID YOU TOY WITH ME. I mean, these are the same hormones that told me that David Bowie in Spandex in Labyrinth was hot.
YOU CAN'T TRUST THESE HORMONES. Mean.
That being said, I love Video on Trial. The one and only Canadian show I can stand.
Shia Lebeouf is probably familiar with hearing the word no a lot. I am posting this because 1) made me giggle and 2) Also Jon Blair does not find Lebeouf to be a stellar actor and I imagine me saying that and posting this will make him happy. Also he sent it to me.
Oh and I am having the hardest time ever today finding anything on the internet I like. It's just one of those days. It might also be that time of the month. Either way, NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.
Also if you live in Boston and sent me a gift basket, can you please tell me who you are? No?
The "recut" movie trailer is nothing new. Take a popular film, open your amateur video editing software of choice, and then cut, rearrange, remix and re-dub. By the end, you should have something markedly different and hopefully entertaining, ready to broadcast around the Web.
The trend has brought us a collection of clever clips, such as the silly, high school comedy "American Pie" as a horror flick or the silly, high school comedy "Superbad" turned epic drama. Probably the most memorable is "The Shining" recut, which remixes the frightening film into a romantic comedy. Because this genre has been so exhausted, a new entry is almost never worth mentioning.
But seriously, the "Dark Knight"-"Toy Story" recut is excellent. Starring Christian Bale as Buzz Lightyear, the late Heath Ledger as Woody and, naturally, Morgan Freeman as Mr. Potatohead, the casting is brilliant and the editing fantastic. My only gripe is the lack of Maggie Gyllenhall as Bo Peep, but to be fair, I've drawn the conclusion that just about every video would benefit from more Maggie G.
The "Batman meets Buzz" video isn't the only Dark Knight spoof that's seen popularity lately (nor is it even the first we've written about). One YouTube user late last month injected a bit of political satire into a scene from the movie. "The Dark Bailout" pokes fun at the $700-billion aid given to the U.S. financial sector. It's a funny, smart short, but I somehow don't think even the Joker could come up with the perfect solution for that riddle.
We feel your pain. We blame you a little but then also feel your pain, sad guys on the trading floor. I'm just glad we are not in the same room as you right now. I'm afraid those sad faces would turn into mad ones. On the bright side, while there is nothing funny about what is happening to people, these captions made me laugh.

Live action tilt-shift videos that makes Sydney Harbor look like a bunch of scale models in a bathtub. There is 3 videos up by Keith Loutit so far. I suggest you check all three fascinating videos.
When you enable Mail Goggles, it will check that you're really sure you
want to send that late night Friday email. And what better way to check
than by making you solve a few simple math problems after you click
send to verify you're in the right state of mind?
I know for a fact why this should be a real application applied to my emails. I have been responsible for a large amount of careless emails sent in a drunken stupor or morning stupor. Often very similar in appearance and actions. If only I could take back those...10 maybe 100+ emails back or prevent them from happening. GREAT. It's only 10am and I have two "if only...." posts up. Fantastic. I love leading myself up for massive disappointment in the morning. Happy middle of the week, people. [ Google Mail Goggles ]
Yeah, Martha. What you hear there beneath you, is BABIES CRYING BECAUSE YOU ARE TRYING TO EAT THEM. DO YOU HAVE NO SOUL, MARTHA? Jail has hardened you...
For shame, Martha.
For shame.
It's hard to pick the nuttiest celebrity stalker out of this bunch but my vote goes to Jody Foster and her crazy stalker. In my opinon, there has to be stricter laws regarding stalking on this level. I can't even imagine how awful this would be. [ 15 Nuttiest Celebrity stalkers ]
The bittersweet art of cutting up books. I really liked the color-coded book store. If only there was some way to do that and make it practical. [Unusual Book & Page Sculpture ]
In a move that could be right out of a Hollywood
movie, a brazen crook apparently used a Craigslist ad to hire a dozen
unsuspecting decoys to help him make his getaway following a robbery
outside a bank on Tuesday. He then made his escape in an inner tube on
the Skykomish River.
Craigslist, is there anything you don't have? In my opinion he deserves that money. Well played, sir. I have absolutely no problem with theft when it's done as cleverly as that. [Craigslist Robbery ]
I always thought a great crime would involve either anticipating a
large storm / power outages with perhaps some diversions called into
the other side of town to bring police force to that area while you
work on a specific locale (yeah they did that already with that Kevin
Bacon movie apparently).
or
Mix it with having one of those little motorized scuba vehicles that
pull you along, waiting inside of your getaway car, drive the car into
the river and escape with the money under the water, perhaps out into
the ocean. It would probably be too difficult for police to mobilize
the coast guard that quickly to respond and the ocean water would
destroy / contaminate most of the incriminating evidence inside the car
while it sat waiting to be pulled out.
The game works by showing you a series of
geometries that need to be adjusted a little bit to make them right. A
square highlights the point that needs to be moved or adjusted. Use the
mouse to drag the blue square or arrowhead where you feel it is
'right'. Once you let go of the mouse, the computer evaluates your
move, so don't let up on the mouse button until you are sure. The
'correct' geometry is also shown in green. To avoid the need for extra
mouse clicks, a mouse button up counts as the move being finished, so
be careful.
4.67 first attempt., the only one I got 0.0 on was a line segment midpoint and I think it was utter luck. I got like 13 on something else. [eyeballing game ]

Ever wish songs just sang what was happening in the music video? Well now they do. I honestly never expected to find a more hilarious video making fun of "Take on Me". Family Guy's "Take on me" remix was hilarious but this literal video version wins.
Over the weekend, I mapped the spread of Walmart using Modest Maps. It starts slow and then spreads like wildfire in the southeast and makes its way towards the west coast.
Watch a visual representation of Wal Mart's growth over the past 40 years. It's pretty staggering - almost looks like a living organism, growing and multiplying. It's like watching the spread of a plague or you know herpes.
This image makes me laugh out loud every time I see it. So, I figured I should share the laughter. Batdog is my hero and I am convinced he should be everyone elses hero too. Picture thanks to Will.
I am only posting this because of Jonah Hill and Sarah Silverman. Also, I don't like the fact that Ellen called me out on my porn habit.
I am NOT a fan of people who try to influence other people's opinion on politics. Let people decide for themselves, be it for either candidate or even to vote but this video made me laugh, so here it is on my site. Deal with it.
Other than Jonah Hill and Sarah Silverman, I feel like I just got a "cool" telling off by my parents. Thanks parents.
This perplexing pair of banned items comes to us, once again, from the wacky world of Your Scene.
The only conclusion I can draw is that this restaurant had some complaints involving Basset hound fur and a tub of Rocky Road. (Seriously though -- what restaurant prohibits ice cream? I guess that explains why the table is empty. If you ask me, an frozen-delicacy-free establishment is not one worth frequenting.)

From the endlessly entertaining files of Your Scene (Latimes.com's reader photo and video site) comes this pearl of wisdom from the small town of Elgin, Texas (population: 5,700).
Fun fact about Elgin: it is also known as (I cannot stress enough the fact that I am not joking about this) "The Sausage Capital of Texas". Put that on the short list of destinations for your next road trip!

A Neurotic Scotsman Cannot Help Himself From Commenting On The Mistakes Made By Some Of America's Favorite Film Characters. From the mind of Seth MacFarlane, creator of Family Guy and American Dad...
Ahhh, man, what you dooooin? Seth MacFarlane wins at life again with this comedy short.
Christie St. Martin was born in Bermuda and educated at two Canadian universities that would prefer not to be mentioned here until she supplies them with healthy building endowments. An uber-geek and proud of it, she established herself as an Internet presence with All Things Christie, a blog that managed, with its quirky and unabashedly self-indulgent links to and commentary on whatever struck her fancy or her ire, to attract small legions of readers, fans and would-be stalkers. Her interests were as they are: myriad and eclectic, though certainly given to a particular fondness for the tech-y, the game-y and the kitschy. She is her own organizing principle, a kind of mad surfer on the crests of cultural lunacy, alternately acerbic, ecstatic and unintentionally insightful. She has since blogged for VH1's "Best Week Ever" and Exhausticated.com, providing her usual melange of cheek, snark and occasional observation. Christie also contributes to LAT's Hero Complex blog.
