1500 Prison Inmates Dance to Soulja Boy & MC Hammer

Back in July 2007, I had posted a viral video of 1500 prison inmates in the Philippines, practicing the dance moves to Michael Jackson’s Thriller.
Well, the boys are at it again. And this time, they are dancing to a remix of Soulja Boy’s ‘Crank That‘ and MC Hammer’s ‘You Can’t Touch This‘.

Sheesh ! The [...]

X-Files 2 Teaser Trailer

The first teaser trailer for the upcoming X-Files 2 movie was shown at Wondercon. Judging by the reaction of the crowd in this low-quality, bootleg clip, it’s obvious that Dana Scully (the gorgeous Gillian Andersen) & Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) will always have a special place in popular culture.
Unfortunately, I’m not sure if any [...]

Prehistoric Skeleton Mouse

This mean-looking, ‘prehistoric’ mouse is from Secret Design, a computer modding and design firm based in Germany.

Spongebob Squarepants vs Classic Cinema Mashup

Another crazy video mashup. This time it’s classic cinema scenes voiced by the cast of Nickelodeon’s Spongebob Squarepants .
They did not spare anyone, not ever poor Marlon Brando’s Vito Corleone in The Godfather.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull Trailer

The first trailer for the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull is out, and it’s, I’m embarrassed to admit, really cool.
