This is really cool to hear about. Thanks for telling us about this. Maybe a biographical novel is in your future?

I thought it looked awesome. Actually I think it might be my favorite trailer since Star Trek. http://videosift.com/video/J-J-Abrams-Star-Trek-Trailer-3-5-2009

This actually seems like a good idea. But I suppose that air cargo has been "containerized" well enough now that most of the packing and unloading happens outside of the plane.

40 seconds of bad camera angles for Hammer feigning difficulty at moving an object from the pool to next to the pool? They don't make television like they used to.

Apparently I'm the only one who actually likes the music.

Reminds me of this:

The most successful modern Christmas song, perhaps?

It's mostly stuff the baby boomers were listening to while they were children.

Jesus that was terrible. But to be fair, even without her I don't think this is a great collaboration. The sum is somehow less than the parts.

Wtf is this? It seems forced and awful. A few people trying a social experiment?

You know it's serious when your wave has waves on it.

Obviously not a real timelapse so I wonder how it was made. Each plane was masked out of the background with a little user assistance, I'm guessing. I wonder if the original velocities were preserved. Also, I wonder if the vertical ordering is roughly correct. The creator of this would have to sort of guess which planes should occlude the others.

Hilarious. Perhaps the best such compilation I've ever seen. So many WTFs uttered. I mean, free fall into a folding chair from the bleachers? How did you expect that to end well?

However, a few were rather tame -- knocking over a Christmas tree, for instance. And I think the belly flop into the wall at 8:10 went exactly as intended and probably didn't hurt much. Likewise for the PVC hanger thing destroyed in the lawn at 3:34. The snow bank (unintentional?) wheelie was frankly awesome. The guy who failed the fence flip at 7:12 was even laughing at himself. These things are still funny, but "extreme idiots" seems a bit harsh.

I think it's a fine idea, but it's not at all surprising. I think the teacher has got the right idea - run with it until the kids become bored.

How about some actual evidence?

I'm stealing someone else's comment here, but the "gun" pointing gesture that Louis uses really adds a lot to this.

I bet you could see an above ground nuclear detonation from the moon.
