Even though it gave me the error message for these ifilm vids, it did tag them.

- I know, I know...it's so not 'PC' - but it's still worth one viewing

From IFILM:
A group of Mexican day laborers think they've been hired for some hard work in the sun. Clearly, they've never worked for the Amazing Racist.

Is the best Saber fight out there. Blows Dorkman's away. If you have trouble finding it google "Art of Saber"

What are your specs ivix? if you don't mind me asking. We've tested it on a few platforms and most seem to come up OK. I have noticed that some of the new hosts like iFilm seem to hog a bit more resources than YouTube and GV.

Agreed. I usually won't go past the third or fourth page. Also, I'm noticing that the site is getting a bit "bandwaggony", by which I mean that the same vids are popping up as the new hot vids on all the sites - ifilm, google, etc. so that I can be pretty sure when I see, say, iFilm's new hot vids that those vids will also be posted here. It's not necessarily bad, since in theory the best will be "sifted up". Perhaps what's needed is an archiving system based on tags/votes -- but that's another discussion.

Another issue, since you opened it up, are the serial postings. While I like them, I'm not sure what to make of all the (and this is just an example) M Python postings. The fourth or fifth one starts to feel like filler, or that they should all be considered ONE posting, or ... (I really have no solution, just commenting).

But I do think one thing that could make an ultimate difference is to develop a good archival/retrieval system, aside from just the tags. That could add a lot of value to the the collection as well, since it would be a more browsable repository of video clips that could be viewed in some order other than when it was posted. Easy for me to say... though I do not know exactly what makes a good archival/retrieval system. And of course, that may not be your intentions at all. (though i guess i'm imagining something like what fedquip has going on at taytv.com)

Is this the right place to have this discussion?

Crazy stoners - welcome to ifilm

I found this on iFilm. When I did a web search, I found it also on Google Video. You can see more than this clip for 99 cents. I didn't realize it was really a teaser to get you to pay more.

The description reads:


Japanese performance artist Momoyo Torimitsu takes her robot for a crawl in downtown Sydney, Australia. Crowds watch the bizarre sight of the life-like Japanese businessman in suit and tie slowly crawling on all fours along the pavement. The robot is a symbol of the Japan's rigid Salaryman culture.

Japan, Asia, Quirky, Hi-tech, Robots, Inventions, business, Australia, men, sad, desperate, tragedy, humanoid, artificial intelligence,

ack teh evil ifilm, really really hate their advertisements, glad you gave us a shout out though. I have really high hopes for the next sift off, looking forward to whatever you have in mind ;-).

You guys are so amazing...thanks for keeping an eye out. It's such a thrill to see it posted somewhere by complete strangers. ;-)

It was featured on IFILM, and even though I had to take out the beginning, I put a new credit at the end. Now I wish I'd put it in the original.

Maybe there's a FF issue?

And if you look at the code, it looks like there is a space there that shouldn't be at the end....is that the problem?
