Hello, hello blogees!

Fear not, “Scene Unseen” still has a heartbeat, albeit faint.  We appreciate your loyalty (and passionate bitterness), but truth be told, we probably won’t be blogging much (as I’m sure you’ve gathered).

After 3 1/2 years of podcasting, we felt the show certainly ran its course…and when it comes to blogging, well, those cats over at Slash Film seem to have the recipe down pat.

However, from time to time, Jimbo and I will post items of curiosity (a.k.a., “Random Acts of Interest”) that tickle our fancy, such as the clip below that has been circling the interwebs.  It’s quite a collection of cliche, and if we still yammered into mics, we’d probably riff on this for minutes on end.

Enjoy…

Here’s a brilliant alternative marketing piece for The Men Who Stare At Goats.  I’m looking forward to seeing this film in the theaters.

In case you forgot, this is the greatest thing ever…

Last month, the Anne Frank House released the only existing film footage of the remarkable little girl.

Even though the footage is brief and silent, there is something striking about seeing her actually live and breathe…leaning out the window to watch a neighborhood couple exchange vows.  The film was produced on July 22, 1941, a year before the family was forced into hiding.

Even after the diary entries, and the extensive collection of pictures, somehow these fleeting seconds make her more human…an ephemeral memory of a girl who will live on forever as a key witness and journalist of the Holocaust.

This is too funny.

Morning, folks.

This will wake you up better than any strong French Roast you’re brewing.

The group is Make The Girl Dance…the song is “Baby, Baby, Baby”…and, according to my pal Avi, this is “The Best Steadicam Shot Ever.”

I feel like I’ve just transcended time. She is talented, I have to give her that.

Check out Honda’s new U3-X Unicyle…Japan’s answer to our transportation practical joke, the Segway.

I love that little fucker ASIMO at 0:27, clowning around with a goofy dance, casually plotting to take over our entire globe.  

Keep an eye out, folks…they’re coming.

Chicago will get a another shot sooner or later. In the meantime, how could one say no to Brazil!? (via LikeCool)
