Detonation Films

On this site there's a lot of resources for ultra low budget film makers who are really into explosions. You can check out the films made by this crew (I believe the kids outnumber the adults). They're at least on the level of your average episode of Power Rangers, which is impressive considering they're made in backyards and basements and such.

The 1 Second Film

There's a film project underway looking for producers. The plan is for it to be one second long with and estimated 90 mins of credits, making of documentaries, etc. For as little as a dollar you can get your name in its credits, and into the IMDB. If you've been looking for your big break into, hollywood, this probably isn't it, but it's still a cool idea.

The 118118 Experience

This is a series of advertisements for British Directory Assistance, although it's pretty hard to figure that out from watching them. It features two men as mustached as they are emaciated talking about training, motivation, and focus. One of the clips is a very funny send up for the Honda Cog ad I linked to a few days ago. Thanks Dave for sending me this link.

Everyone Else Has Had More Sex Than Me

Cute bunny sings about the woes of a limited love life.

Japander

Lots of times American A-listers nip over to Japan to make loads of money on advertising the American public will never be exposed to. Until now. Michael Jackson, Brad Pitt, Arnold Schwarzenegger and many more are featured on this site selling Japanese things to Japanese people.

The Lonely Island

Comedy group originally from California and now living in New York. They make videos and songs and are generally funny. You'll recognize one of the faces from the Chronicles of Narnia Rap that I posted a few days ago, which they are also responsible for. Be sure to check out Awesometown, their FOX pilot.

Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny

Song and accompanying flash animation in which famous figures battle it out. Contenders include Godzilla, Shaq, Aaron Carter, Batman, Optimus Prime, Indiana Jones, and Abraham Lincoln, to name a few. There are many more, and a couple surprises. Thanks to Chris for the heads up on this one.

Full screen may not run well on slower computers.

Muffin Films

Flash movies about muffins. At first I thought this was just cutesy stuff with no real entertainment value, but after watching a few, I noticed that a few of them are a little bit dark. Muffins and Death? Interesting combo. Thanks to Gary for the link.

Insane Christmas Lights

Check out this video of an amazing light display set to music. I saw this on a commercial a while back, but I can't remember what for. Here is the full 3 minute version. According to the site, this video was shot in real time, and not trick photography.

PhoneNotify Web Service

On this site, you enter a US or Canadian phone number and a string of text. The service then calls the number and uses some text-to-speech app to read the text aloud in a robot-like voice. It's free right now.
P.S. Happy New Year, Suckas!
