“Waldemar Daninsky goes to Tibet to look for proof that the yeti exists. He gets captured by two vampire women who turn him into a werewolf. Waldemar's friends are then kidnapped by a witch, and later, he fights a yeti.”

I think what catches my eye there is that “later, he fights a yeti” could be appended to many films' descriptions, entirely to their benefit.

<p>Damn, there go all the “GooTube” and “Yoogle” mashup parodies then.</p>

<p><strong>Update:</strong> Interesting commentary about the deal at <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/readwriteweb/~3/35363144/google_buys_youtube.php">Read/Write Web</a>:</p>

<blockquote cite="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/readwriteweb/~3/35363144/google_buys_youtube.php">

There is a LOT of talk about the deal, but for me it's significant as a watershed moment for the Web and online video. If Google is willing to spend $1.65B on the leading online video company, then they must believe that for both YouTube and the online video industry as a whole - there is a lot more growth to come.
