Update: Just for fun, here’s an amazing buzzer-beater…..why do these always happen in High School games?

But that’s not what’s interesting. After seeing said video, I started searching for asteroid stuff and the following is what I found.

This first one is a simulation of what would happen to earth if a massive asteroid hit. It makes me feel weird for some reason…maybe it’s the music or maybe it’s the fact that we would be completly helpess. I dunno. Judge for yourself.

**On a side note, I finally found a way to embed HD clips on this page, but it takes a little longer to load. So if you have an opinion on this, let me know in the comments section. If you don’t like the increased load time, I will just post the normal video and link to the HD version. But this video is so good it needs to be seen in HD. By the way, the proper pronounciation is “Haytch-Dee”.**

Asteroid Hits Earth

Next, while not as epic as the previous, this next video is still pretty cool. It shows the size of earth relative to other celestial bodies (yup, spelled that one on my own too!).

Finally, in my continuing efforts to maintain the loquacity of this post, I will now share the following clip which maintains the sequential order of the videos: First it was earth, then it was our solar system, now it’s the milky way. Enjoy it, space travellers!

Over the years he’s put out a lot of videos, eventually gaining the attention of Jimmy Kimmel, who subsequently got him to reenact 5 scenes (by request) over 5 episodes of his show. That’s crazy! At the time, he was a clerk in a grocery store. Now, he just finished a movie with William H. Macy. Not bad! And it’s all thanks to YouTube.

Below are a few of my favourite videos he has put out, along with the corresponding scene from the actual movie. If you’d like to see more, go to his YouTube page here. To see the trailer of the movie he is in, click here. Otherwise, enjoy.

The Robbery Scene from Ocean’s 11.

Reenactment

The Pencil Scene from The Dark Knight

Reenactment

The “Funny, how?” Scene from Goodfellas.

Reenactment (Note how good he does the Ray Liotta laugh)

“The line must be drawn HEAH!” Scene from Star Trek: First Contact

Reenactment (Note how funny it is to see him impersonate the lady)

Here’s a scene from Jurassic Park. I couldn’t find the actual clip on the webs…sorry. Note his awesome Jeff Goldblum impersonation.

And finally, while his movie scene reenactments are hilarious, he also makes original videos as well. Here’s one called “Unconventional Dance Moves”. I think I’ll bust out “The Dictator” next time I go downtown.

First of all, I would like to remind everyone why we celebrate this great holiday: To remember the Prohibition Era conflict between two powerful criminal gangs in Chicago, Illinois, in the winter of 1929: the South Side Italian gang led by Al Capone and the North Side Irish gang led by Bugs Moran. I did not just quote wikipedia verbatim. Well maybe I did. Or did I? Yes? Well, maybe. No. Yes.

Secondly, for the gentlemen readers: In case you are wondering what would be the most appropriate thing to do with your lass today, I found this decision making matrix that might help you.
