LMFAO @ Werner Herzog

Werner Herzog would have gotten his ass up and finished the damn race!

"It's not a significant wound"

Werner Herzog is my hero.

Thanks to all . . .

My sifts have received more benefit from the kindness of strangers (and brothers in the case of James) than probably anyone else's Sifts here.

But The Sift is an unfinished country. It is still prehistorical. The only thing lacking is - is the dinosaurs here. It is like a curse weighing over the entire webscape. And whoever. . .goes too deep into this has her share of the curse. So we are cursed with what we are doing here. It is a website that Richard Dawkins, if He exists, has created in anger. Taking a close look at what is all around us . . .there is a harmony. It is the harmony of an overwhelming and collective murder.

We have to get acquainted with this idea that there is no real harmony in the Sifterverse as we have conceived it. But when I say this, I say this all full of admiration for the Sift. It is not that I hate it, I love it. I love it very much. But I love it against my better judgment.

(apologies to Werner Herzog)

Hack. I will never forgive you for commandeering my favorite Orb song/video...

Great job. One of my favorite sifters. I love this sift so much and this, and this and many more...

"you bring me joy"...

supernice, supergood sifter, just keeps getting better and better...

has an amazing discard section. also has the playlist (The Damned) that shows how many good videos don't make it to the front page.

some of the best rickegee:
Tom Waits fishing with a fish in his pants
South Pole timelapse
Rahmens - Suffering of Inanimate Objects
Sun Ra Arkestra - Pink Elephants on Parade
Shortwave Spy Numbers from behind the Berlin Wall
Matthias Meyer - The Black Gallery
Kids Flying in a Wind Tunnel

and of course: Werner Herzog loves the Amazon Jungle

"Everything you see that looks like water is actually oil. The oil is trying to hide itself by pretending to be water"

- Werner Herzog, 'Lessons of Darkness'

I wonder what they are singing about... It sounds happy to me... but it could be sad too... I love it...

Oh and <ahref="http://www.videosift.com/video/Werner-Herzog-Loves-the-Amazon-Jungle">Werner Herzog for the world!!!

I am pretty sure that this and the lucasgreen drunken dwarves post are from a film by Werner Herzog--Even Dwarves Started Small. Strange, strange, strange great film.

My favorite recent Herzog story:

German director WERNER HERZOG was shot by a crazed fan during a recent interview with the BBC.

The 63-year-old was chatting with movie journalist MARK KERMODE about his new documentary GRIZZLY MAN, when a sniper opened fire with an air rifle.

Kermode explains, "I thought a firecracker had gone off.

"Herzog, as if it was the most normal thing in the world, said, 'Oh, someone is shooting at us. We must go.'

"He had a bruise the size of a snooker ball, with a hole in. He just carried on with the interview while bleeding quietly in his boxer shorts."

An unrepentant Herzog insisted, "It was not a significant bullet. I am not afraid."

From wikipedia...

Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe is a short documentary film directed by Les Blank in 1980 which depicts director Werner Herzog living up to his promise that he would eat his shoe if Errol Morris ever completed the film Gates of Heaven. Blank went on to direct Burden of Dreams (1982), a feature-length documentary about Werner Herzog and the making of Fitzcarraldo.
