pointlessly fake and stupid, yet strangely satisfying...

If you want a Chik-Fil-A meal, free once a week for a year, get up to Bitter Lake neighborhood and see if you can make it into place to be in the first 100 customers

Kind of reminded me of that guy in North Bend. (Too bad he didn't give us the right aspect ratio. We would have had more context.) ~z

lordy I despise Vert Video for exactly that reason. A pox upon it. My GF shoots vertical all the time, and a wonderful hi resolution camera on her phone produces middling results with context mostly missing, other than the tiny number of times portrait format is appropriate. Funny though, now I can tell if she's shooting pix to send to me because that's the only time the dang phone is the correct way in her hands...sideways.
Moving right along...
Classic classic...atomic power, scientists, monsters...rural Canadians blame the good ol USA and the new base nearby for mysterious deaths, and they are half right, but not the way they think. Good fun.

RuTube is still always way more better, if, say, you likes you some classic westerns for example; you might like Juhi Thakur's channel...
Probably every Joel McCray movie ever made.There are a lot of channels... It can take some digging around, but probably every movie ever made is in there somewhere... it's like the zona libre

I figure it's only fair to give credit to the original - I just cited a modern-day cover in another thread:

I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each."

Oldies, but still fun to watch. The tunnel is in British Columbia - the Fraser River canyon, I believe. Only one of these videos has not been faked in any way.

Snowball is awesome. I hope that's the one that isn't a fake. The other two don't quite seem to be following the laws of physics.

The "tell" in the Rube Goldberg car parts device is the tires rolling uphill. When the commercial with Michael Schumacher came out, there were a number of posts on the web by folks analyzing the wall and light patterns on the tunnel walls suggesting it was contrived. A few folks who understand the physics of what it would take for it to be real also weighed in. Snowball, however, is the real deal.

Thanks for the additional links to Snowball. Love it. In one of the video clips there's a macaw in a cage behind him that appears to be rather unimpressed.

It's no fake, Walken trained as a dancer early in his career

At first I thought, "What Walken movie is that clip from?" But it's not - he did it just for the music video. Amazing.
