I love the Team Zissou Adidas shoes on Chris Doyle...where did you find those?

We made them as a gag gift for a friend a few years ago.

Ahhh, this is stupid. Only 701 views? I'd figure that it would have at least triple that amount right now. And it's such a good mini-movie too...

I've lost all faith in humanity. Smosh - The Haunting gets 3.5 MILLION views while movie gold like this lays unwatched. Now, I know that the Smosh "movie" has been out for 2 years, but if you divided their views by the time difference, that's 4,800 views PER DAY. Gah.

My dog has a growth on her hind leg, and it sort of looks like poop that's just sort of... Sticking on there. The vet says it's not causing any harm, and she's really old, so we're not going to do anything about it. :(

@ubseymovies That seems to be the only way to do it. I've been looking for some kind of plugins or filters to do it on my computer, since I don't have a VCR or VHS camcorder, but no luck.

I've watched this twice so far and shown it to a few friends online. A great 80's-stereotype fim. Cheesy and hilarious! Great job!
