Videos of the week (month)

Gil 9 January 2015 - 1:17 pm 9 January 2015Remix culture, Television, VOTW Cards Against Humanity, Downton Abbey, Happy Days, Pulp Fiction 0

Two examples of two great tastes (or maybe one great taste and one mediocre taste) that taste great together. Both the television shows in question would be improved dramatically if they worked more like they do in these clips.

Yes, it’s 11 minutes long. You’ve got 11 minutes to spare for this. Really. You do. Trust me. Watch it all. Then watch it again. Of course, the question you want to ask now is, “WTF?” Or, perhaps, “WTFF?” Well, here’s the answer.

Gil 31 October 2014 - 3:10 pm 31 October 2014Remix culture, VOTW Beatles, Halloween, horror, Jack Nicholson, Julie Andrews, Mary Poppins, Meg Ryan, Shelley Duvall, Sleepless in Seattle, Stanley Kubrick, The Shining, Tom Hanks, zombies 0

Gil 24 October 2014 - 9:28 am 24 October 2014Media criticism, Politics, Remix culture, VOTW dogs, John Oliver, SCOTUS 0

The US Supreme Court goes to the dogs … and I am eager to see just what sort of use the interwebs actually make of the free resources provided here.

Gil 17 October 2014 - 5:13 pm 17 October 2014Media criticism, Social media, Technology, VOTW Clever Pie, gamergate, Isabel Fey, trolls, YouTube 0

This week’s video is technically about YouTube trolls, rather than Gamergate. Since it’s from 2012, it precedes Gamergate by a while anyway. And yet it feels just as fresh and relevant (and, sadly, necessary) today as it did two years ago.

Gil 3 October 2014 - 6:53 pm 10 October 2014Music, Remix culture, VOTW Marvin Gaye 0

Cheating a little here, as these are the sort of “videos” one can find on YouTube where the images involved are irrelevant. I’ll even go so far as to admit that I haven’t looked at any of these videos past the first second or two. So maybe there’s eventually something …

Gil 26 September 2014 - 2:50 pm 3 October 2014Music, VOTW cover versions 0

I eagerly await someone equally creative finding a way to perform “96 Tears” using nothing but teardrops, and “16 Shells From a Thirty-Ought Six” using nothing but a rifle.
