so remember, the moon used to look exactly like the deathstar once.

rant: firstworldfrustration

the very worst thing about youtube is how it has to reload or whatever when i hit full-screen too early. 

(mind you, i’m just youtube-ing sandra oh scenes from grey’s anatomy.)

(mostly for that hot guy from hbo’s rome.)

(that man from hbo’s rome is comely, to say the least.)

(i feel better already.)

Science & Numbers Galore: YouTube Rolls Out 6 New Educational Channels by Social Times

mansitrivedi:

From the post:

The new educational channels run the gamut from world history to the cosmos, art, culture, numbers, science and everything in between.  The channels, which you can find out more about below, have been added at YouTube.com/education.

Crash Course – A crash course in world history brought to you by John Green of thevlogbrothers, which plans to tackle 15,000 years of human civilization over the next year

Deep Sky Videos – An exploration of non-comet cosmic objects from Brady Haran

Intelligent Channel – Luminaries in the fields of education, art and culture discuss topical subjects, including interviews with actors, comedians, directors, writers and musicians

Numberphile – Designed for people that love numbers, Numberphile, also from Brady Haran, will discuss the stories behind numbers

SciShow – Hank Green, the second half of the vlogbrothers, brings you SciShow, a channel aimed to teach scientific topics in an easy-to-understand way

The Spangler Effect – Brought to you by Steve Spangler, the guy that taught you how to turn Diet Coke and Mentos into an exploding geyser, brings you a channel that makes science approachable and fun

and i shall watch ALL of them!

this crappy youtube is a glimpse of the movie experience in madras. you are watching people losing their shit for a trailer of what might be the 15 trillionth tamil love story.

there will be nothing new or special about that movie except that it’s highly hotly intensely anticipated. why? because reasons. 

i’m posting this as a public service announcement if you or your loved ones ever plan to go to a south indian movie theatre. it’s really closer to a pantomime with real time reactions (including dancing out of sheer fucking excitement) than it is to a regular get-your-tubs-of-popcorn-and-stare-at-the-screen experience you get anywhere else.

i also want to point out that guy who made the video here also offers some trivia about the music composer in the end (he was his senior at PSBBSSS). this will happen throughout the movie. there will be entire conversations as if nothing has changed since the lights have dimmed and a giant projection of a motion picture has commenced for them to stop discussing the price of cauliflowers or something.

i miss this. kind of.

susan blackwell has just taught me how to sort my laundry. i guess i should thank daniel radcliffe too, i guess.

it doesn’t take much to make a giddy gloria gaynor glorifying music video: a few adorably felt potter puppets, a laptop camera with passing for decent video software and AN ABSOLUTE DISREGARD FOR LOGIC OR REASON. 

you can thank me and sibling for next 1:53 of linear time that is forever lost.

while i’m on an arkells roll, here’s whistleblower too. directed by a jared raab who is now interesting to me.

the making of video is also faskinating because turns out it’s totally just shooting a live performance from four angles and projecting into a pyramid and spinning around said pyramid catching all the action. just.

October 17, 2011

oh dear, arkells ain’t that sweet band i used to have to tell people about no more. they’ve got their very own vevo (yuh huh!) and the most hipster (but still darn beautiful) video i’ve seen in recent times. when will i catch them live and post bad concert pictures again?
