This is really silly, but there aren't a lot of really silly things out there today: the dinosaurs from the Jurassic Park movies, made a lot less scary through the magic of sound editing by two guys with long names. Heyyyy!:
The scene with the kids gobbling the food still totally creeps me out, though. (Thanks to Brad for the tip!)

This video is more or less taking two completely random, unrelated things (the hilarious exchange between Ricky Gervais and Patrick Stewart on Extras, and the Disney movie Bambi) and putting them together, but somehow I can think of at least four people who will absolutely love this:
I think I know the secret: it's just another way of experiencing that hilarious scene for the first time. More of these, YouTube! (Thanks for the tip, Sarah!)

TV preachers Dr. Shine and Dee Dee made an interesting intro for their show using Top Gun. Not sure how many years too late to be relevant this was, but probably many. Be sure to watch until Dr. Shine turns into a plane:
But WHO'S THE GOOSE? The only way this would be better is if it was "God's Top Gun of Deliverance" as in the movie Deliverance. (Via God's Tumblr.)

Maybe it's because I watched Role Models again this week (the unrated version, wooo-woooooo, so dirty), but I found this new, not-late-at-all-because-Role-Models-just-came-out-on-DVD-remember mashup of the Lord Of The Rings trailer using RM footage to be charming and "precious" (groan):
Jane Lynch as Galadriel = genius. Also, apropos of not much, my current favorite line from Role Models is:
Martin (A.D. Miles): "I've heard of popcorn in the face but this is ridiculous!"
If I ever meet him, I'm going to say that, and then we'll be best friends.

This is arguably the best five seconds of video on the internet today:
Now we just need Obama to say something like "It would be nice if torture were banned. It would be great if THAT WAS SO." (And with that, I've exhausted all my Captain Picard references.) (Thanks to Louis for the tip!)

I can see people who were really into Thundercats at one point in their lives being very excited about this fake trailer, which uses fancy CGI to make Brad Pitt, Hugh Jackman, Vin Diesel and others look like cats, which is probably why it's going to be the biggest thing on the internet today:
Huh, they sure did spend a long time on that. How did they get the makeup on Brad Pitt? (Made by WormyTV, via Vulture.) Update: According to Buzzfeed, it took a year. A year? A year. A...year. "What did you do in 2008?" "I put digital makeup on Brad Pitt."

Here's one for children of the '80s who also read nerdy books: the comedy team Elephant Larry just put up this mashup, "Emily Bronte's Heathcliff," "starring Ralph Fiennes as the titular cat." You kind of have to get two whole references to enjoy this, but if you do, you do:
It's funny 'cause Ralph Fiennes is so serious. (I think I get Heathcliff mixed up with Marmaduke, but I do remember this intro going through my head all the time as a kid.)

I've been Googling this fake trailer-sort-of-thing all afternoon, trying to figure out whether it's a reference to a specific movie (other than Powder, of course) or just an insane pastiche of Powder references and '80s movie references and Karen O references. I think it's the latter, but either way, it's awesome. If you send it to a friend, they'll say "What is that?" and you'll just say "I have no idea. Just watch it.":
I think I'll be disappointed if it does turn out to be a reference to something, because I want to meet the brilliant mind who talked so many people into participating in his vision. He or she is surely the next David Lynch. (Via Fey Friends.)

The Terminator trudged along the wooded path towards the lake, his gun dangling by his side, the taunts still ringing in his hypersensitive bionic ears. He stared at the ground as he walked, and didn't even bother scanning anything with...
