The Awesome Videos Thread (with Extra Sauce!)

A heartbreaking look behind the Hollywood scenes of a VFX company. You would think, given the huge amount of importance put on special effects these days, that these companies would be rolling in dough. Apparently not. Fuck Hollywood.

 
Ok, first, yes, this contains Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up (aka Rickroll), but it's mashed up with so much other stuff that it's actually really good.

Pepsi Max had Jeff Gordon scare the shit out of a car salesman on a "test drive" last year.

A Jalopnik internet reporter called it "fake."

So Pepsi Max conspired with Jalopnik to have an incognito Jeff Gordon scare the shit out of him. It's pretty funny. Pepsi has a good marketing team.

Man, the most prominent bit of information I took from that documentary is men over 45 are some gaspy motherfuckers when they talk.

Epic Meal Time brings you the manliest sandwich ever - the Steak and Egger, with the eggs being Ostrich eggs cooked on the engine of Arnold Schwartzenegger's tank.

While I was just getting caught up in this thread, after watching most of that I wonder why the VFX companies (or at least the talent) don't organize. That crap is just egregious. :(
 
This is probably old news, but I just discovered an awesome indie robocop remake. It's a collaboration of lots of different filmmakers, with different styles and levels of production value. This one clip is especially awesome, in which the guys from Indie Machines collaborate with the guys from Barely Political to make robocop, the musical.
