I remember a funny cartoon in my university newspaper about this song... it ended with naked Alanis thanking random things.. "Thank you bagels, thank you monkeys." I remember getting a big LOL out of it at the time.

I didn't ask for your vagina monologue.

Welcome to my growing list of shitheads. I get really absorbed in movies and so the reason I haven't seen it yet is I was waiting for the right night when I could get properly absorbed in something a little smarter. I'm busy so those times are rare. Someone with Kubrick as their avatar should have more respect for that concept. So go fuck yourself, please.

You're welcome. The movie has been out for six months. I'm sure you'd be upset if someone ruined the end to Citizen Kane, too.

Thanks dickhead.

Can anyone explain how Clayton knew the Counsel for UNorth was behind his assassination attempt? And also that was a spoiler, just FYI.

Cool. No worries. It's hard to read subtext with online typed messages.

In reply to this comment by budzos:
Yes, but in a friendly way. I have posted stupid clips of young idiots playing with Movie Maker too:

Hello!!!! Obi didn't kill Boba's dad, Mace Windu sliced off his head a little while after Jango set his cape on fire. If George Lucas read this he would faint, wait that would be good........ No more minute errors!

In reply to this comment by budzos:
I think you're right Sylvester. Episode 1 has the best use of sabers. The opening twenty minutes of this movie is also quite good, especially the very opening on the trade federation ship. The suckage starts with Jar Jar's first appearance, but the Gungan city and the Jedi's passage through the underwater core of Naboo are some classic Star Wars if you ask me. Things get truly shitty once Anakin shows up.

One thing I hate about the prequels is how every single character who shows up in eps 4-6 is somehow tied to the events of eps 1-3... worst offences being:
1. Darth Vader created C3PO
2. Yoda knows Chewbacca
3. Obi-Wan killed Boba Fett's dad

Well, fair enough I suppose. I still feel that if people are able to learn just what constitutes a 'good' film then maybe, just maybe, more good films will be made. If the way to introduce them to a 'good' film is a final scene, taken out of context, then so be it!

In reply to this comment by budzos:
I see your point, but I still don't think the finale is a good way to introduce someone to this film.

In reply to this comment by therealblankman:
In my opinion, you're missing the point and, no offense, are being a bit elitist. Agreed- this film and other masterpieces of cinema should be seen on the silver screen, but like a lot of great art in an era of the mass consumption of populist media, it helps to have a gentle introduction by others who know better. Not everyone can attend film school, just like not everyone can afford to travel to Paris to visit the Louvre and see the Mona Lisa in person. I've been introduced to more than a few great and sometimes obscure films this way.

In reply to this comment by budzos:
I downvoted because this is a cinematic masterpiece and should never be presented as a Youtube clip. It offends me as a true lover of film. It's like looking at the Mona Lisa through a keyhole. I downvoted the last time someone else submitted it as well. I hadn't noticed your downvote, but thanks for caring so much.

Really? Are you using Firefox? I've never seen a pop-up like that since I quit using IE about 3 or 4 years ago.

I will change the embed if I can find another one.

When I click play I get a Party Poker pop-up and my browser is resized to maximum. Considering my resolution is 2560 x 1600, this is pretty annoying.

Nope. Was not a verbal smack down nor me being overly hypersensitive. Its interesting that its okay to "joke" as you put it in a racist way and then say I have my "panties in a bunch" and should enjoy the joke since I am an aspiring comic. Thats bogus. I am not sure what your race is, but as a black man, who is reminded daily of this fact, I find its easy for those who do not have the same history to write off this kind of a reaction as going too far and I should calm down and take a joke. Funny is funny. Offensive is offensive. There are certain things, racially, that ARE very funny. Then there are comments, however their intent may have been, that come off hurtful and cruel. There is nothing funny about being sprayed with water in the context Dystopian used it. Nothing. Yes, making the Klan reference was going too far, I can admit and own that. You are striking me down for responding and saying its people like me that really "undercut the dialogue" here, but I must say, dialogue is exactly what is happening. I was not meaning to be hurtful or cruel, but the comments made were inappropriate. I understand this site is a huge club and since I have not posted enough vids or commented enough or upvoted and so forth I do have the same relationships many of you have. However, friend or not, what he said was offensive to me. Period. Everyone expresses their opinions left and right, which I try to read and so forth when I am on here, so that was me expressing my exact feelings at that moment. I highly doubt Dystopian meant any harm, however, not meaning harm still does not justify the remark and comment he made. I appreciate your words and thoughts, they are welcome anytime.

In reply to this comment by budzos:
Was that your idea of a verbal smackdown? Wow, you really got your panties in a bunch. Yes it's a racist thing to say, but the guy in the video is clearly a hypocritical, racist piece of crap, while Dystopian was pretty obviously making a joke. Funny that an aspiring stand-up would miss a point so broadly made. People like you really undercut the dialogue with your hypersensitivity and need to point everyone out as some kind of secret Klan member, which is really just you playing out some heroic fantasy.

In reply to this comment by ercell22:
I like the fact that in an attempt to shame this man for being "racist", Dystopianfuturetoday suggests he should be sprayed with a fire-hose. If thats not the most ignorant racist this to say, I'm not sure what is?
This is why racism STILL is alive right now in 2008. Folks like Dystopianfuturetoday amaze me. You can hide behind a screen name online and say what you feel because you are protected and safe. If thats not the weakest way to express yourself I don't know what it. How are you, myself or anyone for that matter going to began to help heal the issues of racism when there are comments like that reflecting how something thinks, being posted?? However, with a statement like that, I am sure Dystopianfuturetoday does not want racism to change. I guess you are new generation Klan... traded in your sheets for a wonderful avitar. Or maybe its just laundry day. Happy MLK Day!

It's funny that you mention him being a successor to Bill Hicks because in this video I had a debate about that very topic with another sifter. (I pussed out in the debate as this was my first submission and I wanted to be civil)

In reply to this comment by budzos:
Finally a worthy successor to Bill Hicks. Put Stanhope in the tags man.

Forget the Star Wars, that has nothing to do with anything, it's just about the song, which comes from a show called "Avenue Q". The discussion in the thread expanded to prejudice in general, not just homophobia. There is plenty of meta on the site in sift talk, comments, viddy titles, etc.. It doesn't bother me.



In reply to this comment by budzos:
I don't see how the comments in that thread make the Star Wars gay song video "meta"... because the thread is about gay issues and the video has a song about gay stuff, does not mean the star wars video is making a meta-reference to the thread.

What's more, I don't see any value in posting things that are "meta" unless you want the sift to become a self-referrential, cloistered nightmare like YTMND or Fark.

In reply to this comment by dystopianfuturetoday:
budzos, this is videosift meta humor. Check out the comments for this video - http://www.videosift.com/video/Devout-Christians-beware-Teh-GAYZ-are-coming-to-your-town - and it will make more sense.

By the way, I agree with your critique, but as I said, this is meta humor.

As for the channels, the audio is political, the video in cinema.

Hey there --

I noticed that you voted for the trailer for 10 MPH (about a Segway roadtrip across America) a while ago...

Well, the filmmakers have posted the ENTIRE FILM online and I just submitted it to the Sift. Enjoy!

And Chocolate Rain is not a meme? Passed out "dudes", nut scratching, raving lunatics are quality posts? No one is twisting your arm to watch viral videos. I won't complain about your videos if you don't complain about mine. This is not your personal video site where you get to dictate what is good or bad. And you are free to leave at any time.


In reply to this comment by budzos:
Mercenary In The Office has got to be the lamest piece of shit marketing campaign ever created. Do you honestly think it deserves to be given a spot on the Sift? Posts like this are going to make me leave the site as it's turning into a free-for-all with everyone posting every single meme they can find, and all the top members suckling each others' crappy posts reliably to the front page... instead of actually, you know, sifting.
