Head explody at 51 seconds!!

Personally I thought the first film was excellent, I couldn't pick out many flaws. I'll be excited to see this one even though Danny Boyle isn't directing.

I love the fact that it takes him about 5 shunts to turn the car 90 degrees. Great driving!

He may be 60, but he has the power of HGH to keep him going! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6444401.stm

Oh yeah, and at the risk of being a complete pedant, it's actually 20 seconds. I guess that was the title of the original clip?

Pho3n1x is basically correct. The antenna wouldn't normally be on at all when the cellphone is switched off, but whoever developed this would have worked with the cellphone manufacturers, and if you go in at the OS level it would be surprisingly trivial to implement something like this. One firmware 'upgrade' and you're done. It's possible, though less likely, they would even be able to do these upgrades remotely.

It's the sport most men have been training for their entire adult lives!

Great sift, Aidos.

Anyone else think the plot description for this looks like a metaphor for drug use?

Pyrex: Either you're mistaken, or I've misinterpreted what you've said. Wushu doesn't have any sparring, and certainly doesn't have any full contact sparring. These choreographed fights are as close as it gets. Kung fu does have sparring, but there the vast majority of it is a long way from full contact (e.g. no punching to the head, no kicks to the legs).

Personally I think Wushu's just as worthwhile as any other martial art, depending upon what you want to get out of it. It isn't going to help you much at all in a real fight, but it's damned good exercise and a lot of fun...

Absolutely phenomenal band, but I don't think this is them at their best at all. The crowd is so massive that everything has to be belted out at top volume, and that doesn't leave any room for subtlety in the performance.

Just my tuppence. I still thought it was worth an upvote.

Great clip! Surely it deserves a geek tag though?

Unless I'm very much mistaken, this fellow goes by the name of "Super Bad Brad". Saw him supporting the Fun Lovin' Criminals a few years back, he's a very talented chap.

Animal cruelty, my ass! The squirrels all pay to go on that ride!

I gotta disagree with you on your first point, Rembar. Even the first UFC tournament banned biting and eye-gouging, so we've yet to really see the effectiveness of the really vicious stuff like that against grappling. No disagreement that it's no good if you're already on the ground grappling, but the point is to avoid getting in that situation in the first place.

I'm not trying to start an argument over what's better, cos we both know it depends on the situation to a large extent anyway. I'm just saying, in the war against bullshido we gotta be vigilant at all times!

This clip is full of jokes about death, pornography, racism and drugs. I just had this strange inkling that it might be frowned upon in some politically correct offices. If it's fine where you work, then lucky you.

Oh, and when did being on TV become a reliable indicator of anything? There are plenty of clips on here that have been on TV but aren't suitable for work. Janet Jackson's nipple? The foreign language 'art films' they show on Channel 4 here in the UK?

If I'm in the minority here, and most people think it doesn't warrant the tag, I'll remove it. Until then, you can bite my shiny metal ass.

P.S. Finally popped my sifting cherry. Yaaay!

Agreed, absolutely. I don't know an awful lot about Randi but everything I do know suggests he's a very admirable character.

Ladybug: I'd have more respect for him if he stuck to his guns. That said, I don't see how it would be possible for him to do that, as his feelings would have to be grounded in some rationality, rather than just being plain old ignorance (as you quite rightly point out).
