Beautiful Day

The video for cutie crooner Spencer Day's "Movie of Your Life" (my favorite of his songs) pays homage to eight classic films. Can you name them all? (The short was put together by St. Louisan Chris Lawing.)

• A high-flying conversation with John Barrowman, star of BBC America's "Torchwood."
  A wonderful (spoiler-free) interview with John Barrowman, Torchwood's omnisexual, heroic hunk, Captain Jack Harkness. (Note: contains the phrase "titty wank".) [thanks Lilly]

• "The Paul Lynde Halloween Special" coming to DVD
  Oh Sammy! If you have ever seen this (and few have; it aired only once back in 1976 and has survived only in bootleg form), you know why this is a must-have.

Dramatic chipmunk

Honestly, I just can't get enough of Dramatic Chipmunk. (Yes, I know it's a prairie dog.) I watch those five seconds of video a couple of times every day and it always gives me a chuckle.

As do this melodramatic chipmunk and the Darthmatic chipmunk.

Kritters is funny.

Video Killed…

It's not quite the video-on-demand we dream about, but it can be a lot of fun to cruise around The Feedroom, which appears to offer footage for sale to television outlets from a variety of sources, including local TV news markets, corporate entities and others.

Among the digital detritus, that surreal clip of Colin Powell singing "YMCA" that was much discussed a few weeks ago.

There're tons more, all in Real format.
