Wow
If you’re one of the 4 people on earth (with a computer, anyway) who haven’t seen the Museum of Me yet, please go. It does not save a movie; every time you go, you get a new experience.

Hmmm….
Will people pay a premium to watch their online videos ad-free? Apparently, if they are fans of watching eagles and puppies.

Splice
YouTube’s new Creative Commons lets you sample without stealing. Alas, no more delicious frisson of illicit behavior, but no worries about pesky legalities, either. We’ll call it a wash.

Hush
I swear, the most gorgeous nature video is all on vimeo. Check out this breathtaking work by Terje Sorgjerd of TSO Photography, and thanks to www.openculture.com for the heads up.

Viral Video of the Week
A nerd brings it. When you think about it, viral video is all about nerds bringing it.

Movies This Week
Brothers and sisters, it is dead slow. X-Men: First Class is it. Whoa, Jennifer Lawrence is blue. I think going from an Academy Award-nominated performance to being a blue superhero may mean that she doesn’t get any more nominations. If you don’t believe me, might I remind you that Halle Berry went from Monster’s Ball to Catwoman.
Top B.O.: Hangover II, Kung Fu Panda 2, Pirates of the Caribbean 4. For the love of Pete, please let there be something that’s not a sequel up there next week (but it’s not looking good).
