miffy495 Posted April 6, 2009 I thought this one had been posted already? Regardless, I love Don Hertzfeldt. Have everything he's done on DVD by now. The Bitter Films collection, all 3 Animation Show releases, etc. Great stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wrestlevania Posted April 17, 2009 LittleBigRevenge Wonderfully expressive. Star Wars / Macgyver Bizarre yet brilliant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nappi Posted April 17, 2009 That Star Wars/Macgyver thing was very well done, yet I felt something was missing. Took me a while to realize that it was, of course, the baffling ice cream scene. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrestlevania Posted April 20, 2009 Disturbing Strokes That's the sort of thing we used to muck around with when I was studying film production at Uni. That's easily the best example I've seen in a very long time, though. Brilliant, inspired stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrestlevania Posted April 20, 2009 Less comical, more jaw-droppical: Z19zFlPah-o I'd have given anything to ride that well when I was trials riding back in the 90s... NB: The superb music is The Funeral by Band of Horses btw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miffy495 Posted April 21, 2009 Fuck, that was incredible. I've never even considered a bike could do some of the shit in that video. Caught Band of Horses live this past weekend, and I agree. They are bloody awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrHoatzin Posted April 26, 2009 Watch this in hi-def, full screen. Pretty rad. Also, a semantic observation: it seems "Youtube", as used in the title of this thread, has come to comfortably embody any kind of easily-accessible, flash-based online video. This is the first instance that I have consciously observed this. In marketing we would call it loss of brand control, what is this called more specifically, as pertaining to evolving language?

It's called becoming a household name. There may be a single verb or adjective which I cannot think of right now. Other classic examples (from the UK at least): Hoover, Biro, Xerox, Photoshop.
