Jurassic Park Theme Slowed Down = Better Than Bieber

by on Jan.17, 2011, under acting, blog, monday funday, music, technology

Yeah, I listend to that fuckin Justin Bieber song that made it’s internet rounds where it had been slowed down 800% or some shit. Garbage. Especially when compared to this bit of John Williams perfection.

I love Jurassic Park. No, I fuckin LOOOOOVE Jurassic Park. I was at the perfect age to enjoy it when it came out.  I bought the soundtrack immediately, wrote letters to the actors, basically worshipped velociraptors and Ariana Richards alike. Yup, I was THAT kid.  Now, sit back and enjoy the slooooow journey back to Isla Nublar.

I Love You, Ricky Gervais.

Ricky Gervais' Golden Globe Monologue.

Watch this video. Fall in love with Ricky Gervais all over again.

I’ve never been to any sort of entertainment awards ceremony, let alone the Golden Globes, but I hope to attend someday.  However, I have the feeling they’re just as stuffy and conservative as they look on TV. I appreciate someone, especially Ricky, coming in as host and shaking it up a bit. I truly believe comedy is an art form that needs to be taken lightly in all respects. Yes, we make jokes based on truths in order to comment on the absurdity of a situation.  Yes, these jokes are meant to lighten people’s perspectives on said situations.  No, you shouldn’t be offended if a comedian makes fun of you. Be honored.  Going off some of the crowd’s reactions in this clip, they chose the former.  It’s like when you roast someone.  The jokes are mean, cruel, and brash.  They’re also a fantastic way to let go of your own insecurities and have a laugh.  Go, Ricky Gervais.  Go, girl, go.

Arcade Fire continues to make me happy

Arcade Fire - We Used To Wait

So not only is the new album, The Suburbs, from Arcade Fire amazing and sonic bliss, but now they’ve gone and done something no other band has done.  They’ve created a beautiful music video experience that’s one part technological feat and another visual mastery.  By combining video and HTML 5 in the Google Chrome browser, Arcade Fire and Google have created something pretty memorable by breaking out of the standard video player and 16×9 format ratios.  I encourage you to both enjoy the experience on your own by clicking HERE (be sure to download Google Chrome HERE first if you don’t already have it) and check out the article Wired has written about the experiment.  Flash is officially dead in my book.  Enjoy!
