That reminds me -- here is the always entertaining William Shatner starring in the world's worst fight scene.  It's a Star Trek fistfight with "The Gorn" (aka a guy awkwardly stumbling around in a very stiff lizard costume.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1eFdUSnaQM

Check out those lightning-quick swipes from the Gorn's rubberized claws!  Watch as The Shat responds with a stellar judo-chop!

"urrrrrggghhh... WHA-HEY!!"
I found a worse fight scene.

Any time conveniently placed nunchucks are involved, you know you're in for a treat.

Holy Smokes! That totally reminded me of this EPIC scene from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1:06):

http://youtu.be/W7v7avqqzh0

And then I came across this "mash-up" between Reservoir Dogs and TMNT (1:42):

http://youtu.be/4Hj5vOIrTEs

I cannot even begin to describe how much TMNT influenced my entire childhood...oh the memories.

This one is considered by many to be one of the worst scenes in movie history, and that's really saying something.  It's shocking.

The clip above was supposed to show him before he learned about how to perform country music.  Below is a performance at the end of the movie with Dolly Parton after he has learned how to be a country music singer (3:08):

When given the freedom to do something outside of his typical roles, this is what he chose.  ???

It troubles me that a lot of time, money and talented people were devoted to that project and that's what they came up with.

Maybe it was some kind of film version of the storyline from "The Producers."

Instead of "Springtime For Hitler" it would be "Country and Western Music for Stallone".

If it makes you feel any better, here's what the guy at Watercooler Films (the one who posts all these bad movie scenes) had to say about the movie:

Rhinestone is remembered as a huge box office disaster that in reality is pretty bipolar. There are some genuine laughs in this movie coupled with some of the worst moments ever committed to film. This scene is one of the latter.

Also, the song is better when Dolly Parton sings it.

1894 video of "cat boxing" (less than a minute):

http://youtu.be/r6faUd2fV4U

This is apparently the oldest known video of cat boxing.

There is also, of course, the more common practice of "cat juggling", which has also been documented on film (1:38):

The first video is cool.

NBC is blocking the second one (unfortunately).

Here's a great one that you (MT) posted last year.

That is awesome.  I have to say that however much I love Bugs Bunny, Harry Browne did a better job of convincing me that I needed bonds in my portfolio.

I posted this video in the other thread as well, but I love this one of a retired carpenter moving massive objects (such as huge stone blocks and... a barn) using techniques available to the ancients.  For the finale, he personally raises a 19,000 pound block completely by himself.  Ingenious.

"My Name is Lizzy Bennet" is the 1st of a series which is a modern update based on Pride and Prejudice. I'm posting this one because it's funny and I also know the actress playing Lizzie (Ashley Clements).

Below is a 10 minute clip from one of the Presidential debates between Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter in 1976.

The thing about this clip that is interesting is actually what you can't see.  What's happening in this clip is each candidate has been armed with a new weapon called "The Charismannihilator", which shoots a beam that neutralizes every spark or shred of charisma in the person the weapon is being aimed at. 

What's happening is that right before each candidate begins speaking, the other candidate bathes him in rays from The Charismannihilator, and quickly puts the weapon away before the camera moves back to him, at which point the other candidate begins returning fire.

When the journalists are speaking both candidates are firing their weapons simultaneously at the panel. 

You can just barely make out this dynamic as you watch, but once you begin to see it it's impossible to miss.  Notice how when one of the candidates appears to wake up a little or have some trace of emotion, a deadness suddenly washes across his face--that's a textbook Charismannihilator side-effect.  What a devastating weapon.

Check out the female journalist getting a double barrel shot at :48 into the clip.

Note that many of the words that end in "ng" have been shortened to just "n".

I got very sleepy 3 min in. It it must have been the effects of the Charismannihilator. I felt I was in a time warp. I kept think before my eyes closed: must fast forward to Bill Clinton. ;D
