no vote: I can't understand a word he's saying.

^ You need to watch more Pink Panther movies and Monty Python, to better understand zee outrageous French accent!

"We are promoting a new idea - an innovative idea - that the Khufu pyramid was built thanks to an internal ramp rising spirally inside the core of the pyramid close to the face. This ramp will not do all the job, but the pyramid workers get to go up to the apex of the pyramid to build the full pyramid.

It is better than the other theories because it is the only one which works. With this system, in two years we have made full simulations with our software. We know now that with this theory you can build a pyramid the same, as in Khufu (Giza), with the same materials, with the same tools, the same techniques, and in the same time."

Friday Night in San Francisco has been called 'self-indulgent'. I just call it genius at work. Even when they do get silly (the Pink Panther/blues jam), it's still crazy good.

This ain't bad either.

I remember going to the theater to see Pink Panther movies as a kid, and everybody would just bust out laughing for whole movie.

When I see those movies today, on video, I just don't see the humor.

Can't say why.

Just in case it wasn't obvious - that's Geoffrey Rush playing Sellers in "The Life and Death of Peter Sellers". Rush is a pretty good actor, but he's no Peter Sellers. It's weird to me that he's remembered most for The Pink Panther movies. I liked them, but I always prefer to remember him in things like "Dr. Strangelove", "The Ladykillers", and "Being There".

>messenger.. you are disturbed. This is a comedy/magic/minor shock act, not a strip show.
Can't it be both?

@dag - other explanation: presentation of the video by the Sifter matters
5 m.o. post called it "Nude Magic! (WARNING NSFW)" and had the tags "tags: just, for, laughs, stripper, where, is, it"

This one, OTOH, is entitled "A Most Wonderful Magic Trick: the "Hanky Panky""
Tags are, vanishing, reappearing, handkerchief, pink panther, whoa

Marshall McLuhan would be proud - the Medium is Indeed the Message - in this case, the message is less "OOOH, TITTIES" as it is, "WHOA-ish Magic Trick".

How you interact with the subject matter, we've just proven, depends on how it's presented.

An open candy wrapper on the street is litter. On the wall, with a frame around it, in a national art gallery, it's art.

I think the sifters in the conversation above have clearly indicated that it's more high-brow than low-brow entertainment, at least in the sense that only the most pr0n deprived person would get jolly from this.

I think this one would've been bounced in the VS1.0/2.0 days, but things have become a smidge more 'liberal' around here, in the nudity department.

I recall a sift I posted, more of a "let's find anything at all" scenario, of a girl just rolling around on her bed. It got a summary admin discard. That, of course, was before downvotes - or even gold star user discards, I think - and other measures were put in place to allow users to decide for themselves.

As the Sift evolves, it'll continue to define its amorphous boundaries. Some will be able to point to this as both an example and an exception based on what else they try to post.

It's a moment like this when I realize I should probably create a SiftChronicles playlist or something to that effect to document such examples. But I really don't care enough to click a few buttons tonight - it'll sit in the Controversies list for now.

Upvote because BellGlobemedia actually broadcast this, on their ExpressVu satelite network, at least, and for the amusing conversations it generated.

Music BTW is "A Shot in the Dark" by Henry Mancini from the second Pink Panther movie of the same name.

Cato is the most brilliant idea ever, for those of you who havent seen these fantastic movies (ONLY the ones starring Peter Sellers, anything else pink panther is useless) Cato is inspector Clouseau's personal "trainer", hired by Clouseau himself to attack him at his own home at any given time. By Clouseau's logic this is helpful because he always has to keep his guard up. Of course everytime he does come home, he begs cato not to attack him just this once, but Cato is ofcourse under a standing order to ignore such requests..

I bought the entire Pink Panther collection on DVD not too long ago. I used to watch these with my unce, and we would be in stitches. Pink Panther Strikes Again was the best movie I think.

From a fansite, but said nicely:

In 1971, Jerzy Kosinski published the novel Being There. Soon afterwards he received a telegram from its lead character, Chance the Gardener: "Available in my garden or outside of it." A telephone number followed and when Kosinski dialed it Peter Sellers answered.

For years afterwards, Sellers would try to get this film made. "That's me!" he would tell people of the Chance character. He hawked the idea of a film to whomever he could find. Finally, in 1979, with the clout he had gained from the Pink Panther series, he was able to fulfill his dream.

What followed was the culmination of Peter Sellers' career: a masterpiece of double-edged satire on politics and television. But Kosinki's screenplay goes deeper than that. What he and director Hal Ashby expose is a self-serving and self-deceived society. Through the innocence of the Chance character, all the schemes and manipulations of the world are laid bare for what they are: pure folly. For those who hunger for the truths in life, this is a film that will satisfy your appetite.

I couldn't find my favorite clip: Chance is with the Shirley MacClaine character, who is coming on to him. Chance says only, "I like to watch" (meaning television) but the lady takes it upon herself to interpret this to mean that she should enjoy herself on her own, while he watched. Even after a huge orgasm, Chance never notices..Seller's face during that scene is priceless...

Anyway, here's my submission to "Great moments in cinema!"

I adore the Pink Panther, thanks so much for posting this, made me smile hehe
