In a Metafilter discussion about video nasties in 80s Britain, Wolfdog innocently comments:

This is a pretty awesome plot summary

“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.

…and then the fun begins (that last one is my particular favourite).

I have a feeling that this is a search term worth keeping an eye on over the next few days.

Why am I still welling-up at the end of The Amber Spyglass even though it's the fifth time I've read it and I know exactly what's going to happen? The Iron Giant and Grave Of The Fireflies have exactly the same affect, and I've lost count of how many times I've seen them.

Damn.

Tonight is going to be a double bill of M*A*S*H and Gosford Park.

After all the speculation over the past few days it's finally happened.

The two companies will continue to operate independently, Google said as it announced the news on Monday.

Damn, there go all the “GooTube” and “Yoogle” mashup parodies then.

Update: Interesting commentary about the deal at Read/Write Web:

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.

Hmmmmmm... good idea this is, join in I will.... yeeesss...
