Not Youtube, but interesting. It's a contest called Dance Your Thesis.

The Winner was Evolution of nanostructural architecture in 7000 series aluminium alloys during strengthening by age-hardening and severe plastic deformation. The interpretive dance gets pretty good at the 2:30 mark.

"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."

That was awesome. I stumbled through a path of other videos from there to some Assassin's Creed parody music video, Assassin's Creed parkour, and then ran into Lindsey Stirling's videos. Really could view any of her videos since the directing usually seems pretty similar, fast/slow moving shots of her dancing while playing the violin. Anywho, I love it, sounds great, looks great.

Mr. Burns explains the Fiscal Cliff.

Highlight: "Rich people feel things more deeply than the common man." *cut to election night at the Springfield Billionaires Club, showing lots of people crying and screaming*
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

--The horror of Mario

Does knowing that it was directed by M Night Shyamalan change anything?

Double holy fuck?

Seriously, M Night and Will Smith are both in my "has-been, maybe never had it" category in my head. I'm going to be super pissed if they could have been making good movies and just haven't been doing that for over a decade.

Well... for all the laughing I heard in the Scott Pilgrim midnight showing when Shyamalan's name appeared in the Devil trailer, Devil was actually pretty enjoyable. I mean, it's heavy-ish on christian theology, so that vaguely irritated me, but it was enjoyable.

On the other hand... The Last Airbender. A movie which bombed so terribly that we don't even have the toys on the floor at TRU, just on a shelf in topstock. On the rare opportunity that someone wants one (as a couple people have in ordering online), we have to get a ladder.
Cuz apparently I gotta break this down for you dense motherfuckers- I'm trans feminine nonbinary. My pronouns are they/them.
