I’m to Busy Blogging

This short is hilarious, mostly because it is my life - and probably the life of any other online editor – in a nutshell.

Who would've ever thought blogging was this hectic? There have definitely been times that I've ignored the world because I was “blogging.” Fashion trends come and gone, major news broken, celebrities walked by, and I was too busy to notice.

Even more ridiculous is the tone in which this guy says the word “blogging;” he says it like eight times in one minute and I just couldn't stop laughing. “Um..sorry, I’m blogging.. can’t you do that I’m blogging…Send that to my voicemail. I’m blogging here.” So funny. Also, who in the internet biz actually wears a suit any more? My suggestion: put on some jeans and some Chucks and get a latte, Bud. Because in this web savvy world there is a whole lot of blogging to be done!

Office Space Re-cut

As if the monotony of working in an office wasn’t horror enough, WTM re-cut "Office Space" into a slasher/thriller trailer.


This mash-up proves that a trailer can take any movie highlight it in a way that is completely unfaithful to it’s actually plot and context.

A huge fan of the mid-life crisis flick, I am amazed at the effectiveness of this high-suspense Boiler Room-esc cut by WhatTheMaynard.

With corporate bosses applying the smack down and a torturous red streamline-stapler, could a full-length feature could be nearly as successful as this witty office comedy?

Watch as Initech turns deadly.

The Darkside

This commercial for a Star Wars movie marathon on Cinemax takes an already overplayed Coldplay song and meshes it together with some sensitive clips from the sci-fi epic that needs no introduction.

This Cold Play ballad lacks the suspense and the good vs. evil conflict that the legendary film series was built on. And even worse, the commercial is for Cinemax, the channel that after 10 turns into skin-amax, and has very little respect my the film community as it is.


This should not be allowed. Will the commercial madness ever stop?

Alfred Hitchcock's Cameos

Much like the answers in the back of a Where’s Waldo puzzle, this video highlights and exposes Alfred Hitchcock infamous cameo appearances.



Set to the music in Alfred Hitchcock Presents, this video is a friendly reminder of the many historic and memorable films created by auteur, Alfred Hitchcock. Using DVD’s of the feature length films, the video creator strings together the title cards and cameo's of Alfred Hitchcock.

The creator notes on his YouTube post that some of Hitchcock’s cameo appearances are missing: Easy Virtue (1927), Blackmail (1929), Foreign Correspondent (1940), Suspicion (1941), Spellbound (1945), The Paradine Case (1947) and Under Capricorn (1949).

I have seen almost all of Hitchcock’s films, yet I am always so absorbed by the plot and the numerous details that I never focused entirely on his cameos. My favorite appearance has always been Lifeboat when Hitchcock is featured as a fat guy in a weight loss ad on the back page of the newspaper, the image created from his shadow in The Wrong Man wins my aethestic tastes.
