This comedy special is 40 years old and it hasn't aged a day. No topical or political jokes, no dirty stuff, no sexism, no homophobia, no racism, just an hour of tales of his dysfunctional family.* You can watch this one with your kids, your parents, or your grandparents. RIP Louie Anderson, true S-tier comedian.

Making vids for Quentin Tarantino films is an interesting experience because he is 50% “every frame a painting” and 50% frenetic blood and guts. Kill Bill is a film so stuffed with both of these that I was able to make two whole vids, one slow-and-low (this one) and one non-stop fast-paced action (coming next Sunday!), and never had to even think about using the same shot twice. Both were equally fun to assemble, and both showcase Tarantino’s artistry while remaining (I promise!) 99.9% free of bare feet. Hope you enjoy!

Happy Friday, everyone! I usually post new a new vid every Sunday, but I’m posting this one a smidge early, just in time for...Independence Day!

I saw this film the weekend it came out, and it remains one of the most exhilarating film experiences of my life – the special effects, the star-studded cast, the non-stop mayhem, and the only-slightly-corny humor made this movie a massive cultural phenomenon when it was in theaters, and I remember everyone cheering and applauding throughout the end sequences, when America (naturally) saved the day. It’s harder to imagine Americans getting so fired up in a patriotic way, these days.

Anyway, this may not be the 250th birthday we thought America would have, but it’s the 250th birthday we got, so let’s try to have a little fun, huh? – I’d like to think I’m doing my part with this vid.
