check this wild shit out. http://www.videosift.com/video/another-inexplicable-Japanese-promo-Yuki-End-of-Shite
probably should have put it on your collective, but its right up plastique's alley.
Think I should change the title to be more descriptive of what happens in the vid? or be less long?

I just promoted that raphael saadiq live clip you put up here a few months back. pretty good stuff. i'd never heard him live.

hey, can I save this? http://farhad.videosift.com/video/The-Secret-Government-The-Constitution-in-Crisis
I'd maybe re-title this... something more explicit like 'History of National Security - Iran to Vietnam and beyond'

I don't follow that, hueco_tanks.
The probability of anyone having a male versus female child is 1:1, ruling out any other influences such as the health of the mother.
So the odds that your friend has only two male children is 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4, right?
And the base probability that the unknown child is a boy is 1/2.
Where does 1/3 come in?

I just watched the Enron movie presented by Independent Lens earlier this evening.
Frontline has been incredible in the past 6 months. However, this 'America at a Crossroads' ten part special was not Frontline. It did have eye-openning, candid interviews with all levels of leadership in Iraq, with Iraqi citizens (hospital workers, taxi drivers, former librarians, police cheifs, teachers, engineers,...), and long segments compressing weeks embedded with ground units and Iraqi soldiers that just told novels about how big the mess is.
In reply to your comment:
PBS Frontline is they who self-admittedly reported Iraq's supposed WMDs.
Personally, I like PBS "independent Lens" a ton better.

There are also some PBS independent lens files on bittorrent.

yeah, i recently noticed a dishearteningly small amount of hardcore and metal stuff (hence my two recent sifts, which will both flounder and die in the queue)

Is that a 110 out of 200? because thats not so bad.
In reply to your comment:
You know how big of a film snob comment that was? The scale is hitting a 110 right now.
In reply to your comment:
“i've never seen this. and despite my love of portishead and my love of film noir,... I didn't like it.
slightly too amateurish, in lighting, in editing, in shot framing,... jeez, when did i become a film snob? crap. i hate film snobs...
a bit more contrast (some blown out whites), a bit more grit, a more 'appropriate' looking apartment/hotel setting, some scene establishing shots, and some camera movement... so bored with no activity in the background and no camera movement... glad i hung in there for the death scene, which is soo bad its almost like they were making fun of film noir.
picking such a good song as background was a savy choice, otherwise nobody would see this.”

hah, yeah, sorry about that. I thought at the end if I constructively pointed out some of the things I thought were lacking then it wouldn't be just some bullshit film snob comment,... but it still was. I'd be willing to bet this video gets >20 votes in the next weeks.
This happens to me more often than I'd like; a song that I really like and that is very visually appealling to me (in the sense that you can close your eyes and imagine all sorts of accompanying visual themes and elements) is mangled on the visual side by someone who's not yet a director. This was especially a let down because the premise is fine (climactic murder film noir), but every details betray the inexperience of the artist. He/she'd make a fine closeup portrait photographer.
