Categories: Clip du jour

Mean Magazine is lining up stars to reenact famous scenes from movies, and first out of the gate is the summer's most squee-inducing duo, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel as Sid and Nancy. Go!

The full video isn't embeddable, sadly, but it is hilarious. Just me, or can JGL really rock a wig?

Clip du jour: 'Web Site Story'

College Humor reliably makes very funny videos, obvs, but this to me is a new level of quality. Holy moly, am I ever in love with "Web Site Story."

My favorite part is the part about evite, around 3:50. Funny 'cause it's true!

Clip du jour: Breckin Meyer parodies Perez Hilton

If you haven't seen Breckin Meyer's take on Perez Hilton's video detailing his altercation with will.i.am and Black Eyed Peas manager Liborio Molina, watch it below. With the help of Seth Green, Robot Chicken co-creator Matthew Senreich, and Robot Chicken co-head writer Tom Root, Meyer details an alleged altercation with Zac Efron, who makes a cameo. The guys also get in another cryptic plug for the Robot Chicken Skate Party Bus Tour, which we're told we'll get real details on next week...

"When all is said and done, the Robot Chicken Skate Party Bus Tour brings people together," Green tells PopWatch in an exclusive statement. "I saw Breckin and Zac skating together in the parking lot shortly after this video was taken. Not sure how the paparazzi missed it."

Clip du jour: James Franco flips out!

If you always thought of James Franco as either too baked or too bookish to toss a room like a rock star, think again. In the latest issue of Wholphin, a periodic DVD anthology of short films curated by the good folks at McSweeney's, the Pineapple Express star trashes what looks like some random person's studio apartment with the kind of determined fury that would make Keith Moon, or at least a Kate Moss-era Johnny Depp, beam like a proud papa. An aluminum bat is used. As is a staple gun.

The 32-minute film is titled The Room Before and After and was directed by Dave Eggers -- McSweeney's poobah and author of A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. It's available on Wholphin No. 8. And yes, this video snippet from the film has been around for several weeks already, but we just wanna make sure everyone has had the chance to witness the brilliance that is James Franco going ape.  




Clip du Jour: The most benign 'bear scare' dramatization ever

Thanks to yesterday's Attack of the Show for the heads up on what will likely be my favorite newscast involving cardboard cutouts intended to simulate scary black bears for years to come. Even Stephen Colbert could get down with these...creatures.


"Except real."

Incredible.

It'sa me! Keyboard Cat! I am so glad this meme has not died down.

Clip du Jour: Marco Brambilla's 'Civilization'

As if watching the following clip won't be trippy enough, pretend you're doing so on an elevator! Marco Brambilla (director of Demolition Man) worked with Toronto-based studio Crush to produce Civilization, an interpretive video mural of Dante's Divine Comedy, for the new Standard Hotel in NYC. Tiny HD film samples and other pop culture references abound, so watch closely. I'm partial to the monolith from 2001 and the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man myself.

Now I have video proof that my favorite imaginary thoroughfare from my favorite intellectually stimulating board game -- Candy Land's Candy Cane Lane -- is roughly Exit 16 on the road to Paradise. Worldview = justified.

Clip du jour: Magnetic Fields' 'All My Little Words,' Game Boy-style

This whole week has been full of chocolate-in-my-peanut-butter videos -- Han Solo, the Muppets, ye gods. But here is yet another "two of my favorite things, together at last" video: A Magnetic Fields song being played on a Game Boy.

Clip du jour: The Muppets in 'Reservoir Dogs'

Is it even possible to make a Muppet mash-up I don't love? Animal's reaction shots alone are slaying me. (This is the tipping scene from Reservoir Dogs, so there's some grown-up language.)

Sorry, Tom Hanks, there's a new best piano dance team.
