Another trailer falling victim to too many plot points divulged. Still, a clever film (1 location + 6 actors + a few FX = psychological thriller + cheap film!)... upvote!

Wow, 565 views and this video is discarded... hmmmmmm.

Drat. Thanks, though! I couldn't find it with the search function.

Odd little video. How does it in any way relate to the lyrics?

But then, we're talking about Kate Bush.

My father was in the Navy and his cruiser -- the USS Long Beach -- sailed into the eye of a Hurricane once. The waves outside the eye were so bad that the captain was crying under the stress, apparently. (You might, too, if you knew you were responsible for the lives on that ship.)

Anyway, when the ship finally sailed into the eye, the water was as smooth as glass, about as surreal a view on nature as anyone is likely to experience.

Well, that's how my dad told the story.

GLOBAL WARMING IS A *MYTH*? WHA???

I think this is now my favorite sift -- I just about fell off my sofa laughing. Thanks, Eric!

Maher makes an excellent point -- a strike could lead to this bleak scenario:

What's different between this strike and the one 19 years ago is the studios' corporate financial backing: they can weather a strike much more comfortably than before so they could outlast the writers if they had to.

More to the point, what does everyone lose by letting the strike go on? I don't feel either side has adequately considered those consequences. Sickened by the excess of reality TV programming, will viewers finally break their addiction to network and cable TV? Will viewers instead turn to the internet as their preferred platform to view content? Will A-list writers abandon their studio jobs to write for a new internet TV network? The strike will have accelerated each these scenarios.

Payback hurts, Tom!

Great scene. That's some old-fashioned British rhetoric!

Funny, I was just thinking what a great video this would be on the sift and here I find it!

That was hilarious! It's all in the setup.

Ah, the girls at their best...

But technically, it should be *mancusian.

Watch the teaser first, then the trailer:

Since this video is on the bring of being discarded, I updated the video's details: YES, this newscast is totally fake! It's part of the marketing campaign for the feature film Cloverfield, so kudos to all the skeptics out there.

Part of the fun of this kind of ad campaign is blurring the lines between real and imaginary so viewers get the kind of goose bumps we all used to get telling ghost stories around a camp fire. I hope you enjoyed getting sucked into an alternate reality as much as I did!

Surprisingly, it wasn't the cell phone/sea water problem I expected people to take issue with first -- I would have thought the massive debris being jettisoned out of the water would be a clear giveaway.
