While we're in the neighborhood, let me go ahead and say that Johnny Cash was amazing.

If you've always wanted to get into Johnny Cash, but didn't know where to start, here are three songs to get you going:

"Bird on a Wire" live from Jon Stewart's show back in 1994 (it was apparently Stewart's second night on the air):

"The Man Comes Around":

How about this remake of Gin and Juice by Phish?

Very nice.

Roy Clark playing Malaguena on The Odd Couple (3:15) is a good one:

And another performance of Malaguena from Pepe Romero (3:27):

I like the acoustic Malaguena's.  Pepe Romero has a great touch and tone.
Here's Paco De Lucia, John McLaughlin and Al Di Meola:

I absolutely have to post this.  Astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson tells us the the most astounding fact about the Universe:

I don't know how I neglected this one, but it's Sylvester Stallone singing country music in "Rhinestone" (1:48).

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.

http://youtu.be/gy_BrMFFKAc

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.

Those are very very bad. 

This, although, not from a movie, is equally terrible.  It is William Shatner "interpreting" Rocket Man.

4:16, but one need only watch the first two minutes to fully experience the awfulness.

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!!"

You meant "world's best fight scene," right?

Here's one of the world's best suspense scenes, courtesy of Kirk and Spock.

I found a worse fight scene.

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

Be prepared for some potentially offensive preflight language.  1:56

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.

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.

Here's YouTube video of 92 year old Pete Seeger singing Forever Young embedded in an article about the video.

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.

Here's a flash mob in Russia doing "Puttin' On The Ritz". I know, another flash mob, but this one is worth watching all the way through. Lot's of fun.

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.

Well, I will continue my crusade to lower the quality of this forum with this YouTube clip -- it is one of the best covers of Bohemian Rhapsody...EVER! (6:10):
