It’s a brand new day! That’s why we sing this way!
It’s the morning song! It’s the morning song!
Many Fanvids in This Post
This video wins for reminding me that Torchwood had some moments that I actually enjoyed. All These Things That I’ve Done is one of my favorite songs and this video does a great job of juxtaposing some of Torchwood’s more meaningful themes with it.
I’m really posting this because I can’t decide which Sapphire & Steel video to post. The one set to Carmalldansen? The creepy one? The humorous overview, introduced by Tom Baker, confirming, yes, you weren’t supposed to know what the hell they were fighting against? The one set to a song from seramyu (the Sailor Moon musicals – oh yes, believe it!)? Of course such a strange show generated such strange fanworks. You see, it’s so impossible!
Edit: Sorry, looks like the video player’s not showing up in the RSS feed. Gonna have to click through if you want to watch it!
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
It’s still raining so I have nothing witty to add today, but also check out Anamanaguchi‘s theme for the upcoming video game revealed at PAX East.
Advanced Mathmatics
I’m feeling lazy and like rewatching old favorites. When I grow up I want to be as witty and cunning as Rowan Atkinson’s Blackadder.
Artemis 81
Has anyone seen this movie?
The footage in this vid is from Artemis 81 and is the only footage of this movie I’ve been able to find online. For a “cult movie” (as the BBC DVD release claims) this one falls on the forgotten end of the spectrum. (And I should note the music is not from the movie. I’m not even sure the movie had any background music.)
I watched this movie as a teen and remember being puzzled and somewhat haunted for days. Today I tried to rewatch it. I’m still not sure if it’s still over my head, too heavy handed with its symbolism, or just plain bad. I think it’s a bit of all three. Oddly, I find that when I was watching it as a teen I probably could have learned something from the main character. Ah well, better late than never.
Anyhow, this is one to watch, at least for the surreal experience. Then please come and explain it to me.
(And if you can find the connection between this and the Neverwhere post from a few days ago, I’ll give you a gold star or something.)
Hitler Finds Out 2009′s Sherlock Holmes Trailer Is Real
“It’s okay. He’ll realize RDJ is the bomb in December.”
Who knew Hitler was a Jeremy Brett fan? Ok, I lied. But this really is the last Holmes related thing for a while!

They Crazy Adventures of Wassup Holmes
I promise this is the last Sherlock Holmes vid for a while but this is just too good. Here’s the orignal by Famous Last Nerds.
Scott McCloud on (Obviously) Comics
Brief Scott McCloud introduction. Now, I’m not saying you immediately need to go buy Reinventing Comics and start jerking off to it, but his ideas are…well go read as many comics as you can and develop your own opinion.
Edit to say, sorry, the T.E.D. player doesn’t show up in the RSS feed. Take a click through, it’s worth it.
