That paulix dude who thinks Miranda Kerr is "waaaay too fucking skinny" would probably turn into an icky puddle on the carpet if she smiled at him at a party.

I know the events on these shows are usually contrived, but the scoreboard at 8:51 shows the Blue team ahead 7-6 after the third inning, i.e. the first extra inning. Why did they play two more innings? Seems like the game was over then, with the Blue team winning.

@Dolly: Interesting point, but no doubt a modern audience would be confused if the sizes mentioned in the scene were accurate for 1962. This is one of those situations where, no matter what gets written, the writer gets called an idiot.

Interestingly, Connell won this game by one point. It is also worth pointing out all these plays occurred in the first ten minutes of the game.

Without debating the ethics of this strategy, I think #34 was in there to play the role of intimidator, hoping to shake up the opponents and set a ph...

I realize this is probably just another Kaufman put-on, but Eleanor Cody Gould was born in 1897. Since the ending credits indicate the movie short came out in 1946, that would mean she was almost 50 when the movie was made. It's obvious the dancers aren't that old. I'm guessing this is the rea...

Fascinating clip. I already knew we could blackball (if you'll excuse the term) Bing Crosby and Shirley Temple for those racist movie scenes in the late 30s/early 40s. So, now we can add Judy Garland to the list.

OK, I'm kidding. No doubt you'll see lots of comments here expressing righteous ...

Heh, so, to hear the narrator tell the story, Emerson and Palmer get invited back to help perform the song, but what exactly is their role? In the final shot, it looks like Emerson and Palmer are just talking to each other, while Palmer stands there holding the stick for the big bass drum behind...

Bisguier played Fischer 15 times and lost 13 of them, with one draw. The solitary victory was his first game with Fischer, when Bobby was 13. As this video proves, Fischer could beat Bisguier in his sleep.

I have to wonder, though, if Bisguier isn't exaggerating on how close Fischer came to lo...

Holy cow... I remember hearing these guys once in a bar near Hartford. I looked for them whenever I was back in Hartford, but never saw them again. I guess their base was the NH/Boston area. They made quite an impression with me - obviously,since I still remember them 35 years later despite se...

I know the Lassiter band is world class, but they need an original fight song, rather than just rip off USC's. Great bands don't do covers. :)

DubCmusicTV: Checking the Jeopardy Web site, the other contestant *finished* with 10,000. (He entered Final Jeopardy with 5,400 and picked up 4,600 for a correct answer.) So, Craig's 30,000 bet did not risk losing. If he really wanted to put up a big score, he could have safely bet up to 36,1...

Adding to Binky's comment, I can see this trap possibly arising in the 3...Ng4 line if White continues with the non-standard 4. g3. Then, instead of just playing to equalize with 4...Nxe5, Black can try the more ambitious 4...d6 5. exd6 Bxd6, when the natural but very bad 6. Bg2 would fall into ...

I think it was Gregory Hines who said that CGI would have to be used if Hollywood ever decides to do a movie on the lives of the Nicholas Brothers, because no dancers alive would be able to duplicate their moves.

IMO, dunking contests are as much about creativity as athleticism. By that standard, the White kid won hands down. He needs to share that trophy with the soccer kid, though.

Gee, GM Martin can be so disparaging, saying this opening will only have an appeal to players who don't care about results! The real appeal of this opening is that the LG player knows there is a good chance he will get to play it (only takes 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 to set up), while the White player is ...

The recommendation 6. d4 Nf6 7. Be2, with ...O-O and ...f3 planned next, is hardly an easy advantage. After 7...d5 8. Ne3 (or 8. Ne5 Qe6) c6 9. O-O Bd6 10. f3 ef 11. Bxf3 O-O, surely most Latvian Gambit players will like their position.

This video grossly oversimplifies matters. The GM says, "Di...

The recommendation 6. d4 Nf6 7. Be2, with ...O-O and ...f3 planned next, is hardly an easy advantage. After 7...d5 8. Ne3 (or 8. Ne5 Qe6) c6 9. O-O Bd6 10. f3 ef 11. Bxf3 O-O, surely most Latvian Gambit players will like their position.

Nice editing, I must say! As for Spacey's performance here, I'd have to say he doesn't come close to Darin's vocals or stage presence - compare this video with a live performance of Darin singing "Mack the Knife" and see if you don't agree. On the other hand, Spacey's performance of "Beyond the...

Chuck Norris stole his act from Chuck Connors.

So, we have a one-eyed monster in a box. The main characters are two virile newlyweds and a woman who was jilted on her wedding day. I'm not so sure this is Sci Fi, but if it's meant to sound like a horror story written by Sigmund Freud, I'd say they nailed it.

The obvious cheapness of this episode is explained by knowing the show had already been cancelled by ABC. With one episode left to fulfill the contract, a show was developed on an essentially bare sound stage, with minimal production values and half the normal budget. Under the circumstances, t...

By just making the Top 40, this song saved "Looking Glass" from One Hit Wonder status. It's surprising, though, that this band didn't have more hits - this song and "Brandy" were such outstanding efforts. There's a sophistication to these songs that separates them from standard pop.

Yeh, breaking up is an agonizing experience, but it's got a catchy beat and you sure can dance to it.

mrlovable4u, since this sounds exactly like the original record, Mr. Anka is lip synching to the song. This would explain why occasionally the lips don't match up perfectly with the music.

I'll bet the performers lip synching to songs back in the 50s and 60s never imagined that there'd be a d...

Great video! Is this from the old Nat King Cole Show? I think we get a glimpse of Nat King Cole right at the end of the video.

@VelvetRolo Well, man, I think this has been enough fun for one night. Test it on Yahoo Games, and, if you can maintain some objectivity (judging by your comments, this seems unlikely) you will see the difference. Sheesh, you video geeks are so temperamental.

The claim at the start of the video that Black has a slight plus score with the Alekhine may not be accurate. Evidently, the Alekhine does well in JRobi's database, but the shredderchess database has Black scoring 43.4%. By comparison, ...c5 scores 46.4%, while ...e5, ...e6, ...c6, ...d6, and ....

spasmomat: After 5. Nxe5? Black can play 5...Nxe5, winning a piece. I guess another point to 5. h3 Bh5? 6. Nxe5! is 6...Nxe5 7. Qxh5 Nxc4 8. Qb5+ followed by 9. Qxc4, regaining the piece and leaving White up a healthy pawn.

The folks who aren't getting 4 can stop acting so smug, since it only demonstrates their inability to follow directions. It's a simple trick that will always work.

Ah, a perfect set-up for some damage control. ON DTWS, Tom B can freeze the video, whimsically point to a provocatively clad dancer, and say "Is that you, Bruno?" Bruno sheepishly replies, "Yes, that's me." Repeat this routine two or three times more times, and we forget about the stink with M...

Roman's assessment of 8. Bd3 is awfully optimistic. Checking a database of GM games, White scores only 49.2% with this move, and it drops to 45.1% after 8...cxd4 9. exd4. Moving on to 9...Bb7 (9...Be7 is actually much more common, and Black scores over 50% with it) 10. a4, which Roman suggests ...

Those who think this song's bouncy beat don't quite fit the tragic lyrics have a point, but the song still does a good job setting a mood. As a poster further down says, the singer sounds hopeful and sad at the same time. For a version where the beat is definitely too happy, listen to the origi...
