Clips from Les Blank's classic 1980 short, "Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe." (visit lesblank.com to obtain the whole film). The film documents Herzog fulfilling a bet he made with Errol Morris: if Morris would finish his brilliant first feature "Gates of Heaven," Herzog said he would eat his shoe. He uses this public stunt to say some very serious things about American pop culture, filmmakers becoming "clowns" to promote their work, and the culture of images (or lack thereof). Clips like these can be found at the new Media Funhouse blog, which offers clips, reviews, a guide to YouTube and other sites, as well as everything in pop culture "from high art to low trash, and back again..." www.mediafunhouse.blogspot.com

  • hihi meine brüste wachsen

  • An actual STARGATE/PORTAL-THING was caught on film in New Mexico. The footage can be found within the short-film entitled "SUDDEN PORTHOLE", which is parked at the PROJECT CAMELOT YouTube page (it's under the George Noory video).

    I'm not selling anything…I'm just trying to spread the word about the unseen-dimensions we find ourselves embedded in.

    My BLOG contains peripheral data regarding the movie and is where I reply to the "debunkers" (use search words "SAM ZURICK" & "BLOG"). THANKS!!

  • Wow, I came here to be shocked, but I really just learned a valuable lesson from this man! My thumb up to Werner Herzog!

  • WHY?

  • na geht so ab mehrere hundert am tag und es is einfach

  • Werner Herzog definitely knows a lot about media and the way it effects us, his comedy is funny, but is over my head, and for some reason it seams like he has no emotions while speaking -Hunter W.- -6th period-

  • Hey, everyone. Thanks for checking in to Werner. I'm glad you saw something valuable in what he had to say. Peace out.
