Dr. Tran Visits a Mormon Child

Easily posted streaming videos + Blogger + Apathy - Anything Interesting Besides Joe Lieberman's hilarious defeat = Another YouTube post!

I heard about this from co-worker William down at the Blazer. It's a really funny cartoon that I believe played in one of those Spike + Mike's animation festivals. I give you...Dr. Tran!



In the best entry yet in Stephen Colbert's ongoing series, "Better Know a District," here's Stephen attempting to prove that Washington D.C. is not technically part of the United States. At first, I was skeptical about whether Stephen could turn his O'Reilly parody into an entire show. Now, with "The Daily Show" becoming more silly all the time and "South Park" growing more creepy and less consistent, he's probably got the best half-hour of satirical comedy on television. (Although "Wonder Showzen" continues to impress.)



Tonight, I'm going to see a double-feature at the Egyptian Theater, part of American Cinematheque's annual Mods & Rockers series. The first film, Pulp!, is a detective comedy with Michael Caine. (More about these when I get back tonight, if they're worth writing about, I suppose...)

Here's the trailer for Christopher Nolan's upcoming The Prestige, starring Michael Caine in addition to Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Scarlett Johansson and David freaking Bowie. Very excited about this one...



Here's LA band Silversun Pickups playing "Kissing Families." It's a great song from their debut EP last year. The new album, Carnavas, is great too. I picked these guys up from one of the music blogs a month or so ago, and it seems like I'm seeing them mentioned everywhere now. (Local rag CityBeat even gave them a shoutout this past week.)

The video itself is not that exciting, but it's actually easier to post a music video streaming on here than it is an mp3, so you get audio and video!



Finally, an awesome clip from "Mystery Science Theater 3000" in which they watch an old "Gumby" cartoon. I miss this show...
