Meredith Vieira is my new hero. McCain was probably expecting another fan from the media.

1st Ping-Pong Lesson With Lucha Lib
Fun, clever little something.
Wonderland
This isn’t a video but it should be.
And Then There Were Nun
Award winning short film from Todd Tinkham.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
One of the best trailers of the year. I am confident the film will live up to the hype. Fascinating story, based on the short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald. By the way, the cinematography looks incredible. One sad catch, it will be released around Christmas.
The Dot and the Line (Oscar 1965)
Mellart posted this clever animation by Chuck Jones and the MGM Animation/Visual Arts studio.
A straight line is in love with a dot; however, the dot finds the line too plain, unimaginative, and rigid. She would rather spend her time with an undisciplined squiggle who is much more fun. The dejected line later realizes that he doesn’t have to be unbending. When the line demonstrates his abilities to the dot, she realizes that true beauty comes from discipline and that the squiggle is not for her.
Yes all that from a line and a dot as the main characters. Another demonstration of how little you need to tell a story.
Possessed
Quietly profound film.
‘POSSESSED’ enters the complicated worlds of four hoarders; people whose lives are dominated by their relationship to possessions. The film questions whether hoarding is a symptom of mental illness or a revolt against the material recklessness of consumerism. When does collecting become hoarding and why do possessions exert such an influence on our lives?
The Hair Cut
Great locale, cute idea.
A barber welcomes a most unusual customer. The Haircut is a film about the thin line between vanity and delusion, and how the customer is always right.

Little Minx - Exquisite Corpse
Based on the French Parlor game, this new web series by various filmmakers features individual shorts that respond to the last line of text from the previous director’s script. Some of the connections are quite loose.
With eyes of every man riveted on her - Like many of the films here, excellent shooting and casting.
She turns back and faces forward, at peace - Lovely idea. I expected it to end more cynically and I am glad it didn’t. Not necessarily a happy ending but the character fights beautifully.
She walked calmly disappearing into the darkness - Repetitive. A lot of potential, I am not sure it delivered.
Without missing a beat, she asks “Waffles for Breakfast?” - The weakest of the bunch.
And she stares longingly at what she has lost - “Exquisitely” shot. Beautifully directed. A great reason to love short films.
Pork and Beans
The dysfunctional family of internet celebrities come together for this Weezer song.
Orangutan tries to make it in Hollywood
Seriously, this is Hollywood! I wish they would do one for directors and writers in Hollywood (at least they don’t ask us to take our shirts off).
Anthropology
If you missed it, here’s Victor Solomon’s series of five short movies based on Dan Rhodes‘ Anthropology. Non love stories…
