I couldn't find the original thread so I'm starting a new one.
Enjoy.
It's more of a comedy sketch, but I figure it's too long for the regular YouTube thread.
I liked it Bruno. A little mirth is often needed.
Oh god, that reminded me so much of design meetings at work! I'm so happy to be retired -- I will always be happy to be retired!

I'm not a fan of meetings either, but conference calls which are much more common now seem to cut out the BS of regular meetings and only last as long as they need to...I can even imagine what it would be like to be retired. Seems so far away. Glad you are happy Books.
This next one is quite good...has a nice twist to it, but don't read the comments while you watch as they may give away the ending.
^Awesome!
Brilliant!
A perspective by Alex Jenkins.
Reminds me a bit of my Dad.
"Chateau de Sable (Sand Castle) Short Film" by ESMA. Or maybe, adventures at the beach, and the wonders of imagination.
This short takes me back to the countless battles which took place in the confines of my childhood sandbox, with terrible sand creatures and heroic green army men.
Enjoy...

I have two to add to that. Slightly nerdy, one more than the other. Enjoy:

This is documentary called, "Take Me To Pitcairn", though I think of it less of a documentary and more of a travelogue, but either way it's enjoyable, and worth watching.
Here's the description note from YouTube:
QuoteSeduced by tales of endurance, villainy and adventure, one man attempts to re-trace the romantic voyages of the most infamous fugitives in British naval history. However, he soon discovers he is not alone on an emotional quest to reach one of the most remote islands in the world. www.takemetopitcairn.com
Take Me To Pitcairn was directed, filmed and presented by Julian McDonnell. Anyone interested in the Mutiny on the Bounty MUST see this.
I don't imagine I need to explain to anyone on this site the historical significance of Pitcairn Island. However; I was surprised when my son came home from his job this evening, and ask me what I was watching.
After I told him the name he said, "What's Pitcairn Island"?
I said you know the island the mutineers off the HMS Bounty sailed to after taking over the ship and casting Captain Bligh adrift, and he said, "Who, What"?
I had to explain the entire history of the Bounty to him, but I believe I may have piqued his interest some as he has agreed to watch the 1962 version of the movie with me. The one with Brando.
Please enjoy, it's not bad for a self made home movie.'
That's a good one. I was (and still am, honestly), only a little aware of what happened with the H.M.S. Bounty.
Bligh was the 4th governor of NSW,
Macquarie was the fifth and did establish a penal settlement that bears his name where I do live.
Bligh suffered another mutiny as governor, not because he was cruel, he crossed vested connected interests trying to put things to right.
Macquarie came with own troops and sorted things.
Depicting Bligh as the epitome of the tyrannical captain is questionable.
This was interesting, not the best acted short, but worth watching...

I made a joyful discovery a while ago, and came across "Omeleto" short films on YouTube. I love short films. I think because like a good short story the writer has to focus on the plot quickly, and if it's good it will grab not only your interest, but your emotions fast. I like that. Kind of like a slap in the face. Short. Brisk. Too the point.
Here are few of my favorites so far. If you enjoy them I would suggest subscribing to Omeleto on YouTube.
This movie short is really sweet, and if you're a dad then this is for you!

This is a really great short vid, in fact this one will grab your heart-strings and yank on them real quick.

Here's an excellent movie short by Omeleto, titled "Together".

I think this atheist audience will really enjoy this, especially former Catholics like myself.
That was good :)

I love Tom Stoppard. Thanks for that clip.
i have been teaching the game to my son. he was initially skeptical, as he is initially for all things transmitted across the chasm that separates 66 years old from 18.
then he sent me a text: that was actually funny.
so the virus has been injected.
