OD on RV

I've ODed on RealVideo [1] all day today. Checked out what's available at TheSync [2] and once I exhausted that, I found ShortBuzz, [3] a collection of short films in RealVideo format.

I was particularly impressed with After Class, [4] which is filmed in a sitcom format (and from the website [5] I think that's the intention) but unlike most sitcoms found today, was well done and quite refreshing (the scene with the one roommate eating dinner with his date in the kitchen interspaced with shots of his two roommates eating dinner of toast in the living room was hilarious).

Other notable shorts are Guy Planet, [6] a film about dating, Mike Feeny's Secrets of Success, [7] a sendup of infomercials and File `F' for Bill Mickcloud, [8] an action short.

I wouldn't recomend Roswell [9] unless you turn the sound down. The visuals are stunning, but the narration … the narration weighs you down like large blue jeans that get wet when you jump into the lake so you can't swim and you try to shout out for help but the water goes down the wrong way and gasping for your last breath, you drown, wondering why you even wore the blue jeans in the first place.
