The Cove Movie Trailer Video | Ric O’Barry Pic Wins 2010 Oscar For Best Documentary

Posted: 08 Mar 2010 07:50 AM PST

This is the video trailer for The Cove, a full-length documentary film which won the 2010 Oscar for ‘Best Documentary’ at the Academy Awards.

The Cove tells the story of efforts to expose and halt the hunting and supposed slaughter of dolphins in the coastal Japanese town of Taiji. And it’s a powerful real-life drama sure to invoke an emotional response.

This won’t be a popular opinion but I think the outrage by westerners over the way Japanese fishermen are killing whales and dolphins is hypocrisy.

Forgive me if I’m mistaken but doesn’t every country slaughter millions of animals every year for food? Is a dolphin really that much different, and more worthy of having its life protected, than a sheep or a cow? Why?

Until everyone becomes vegetarian I think it stinks that certain countries are picked on for their traditional practices that have been going on for years. Because all the while we’re shoveling chickens and every other kind of meaty animal into our mouths we’re huge hypocrites.

Every Oscar Speech In 2 Minutes (Video) | Over-Excited, Boring, And Gay Award Winners

Posted: 07 Mar 2010 08:40 PM PST

Every year the Oscars are on I turn on the TV only to be consistently let down. It’s not that I don’t like movies, it’s just that all the acceptance speeches are pretty much the same.

Here’s a compilation of some of the best and worst speeches in 2 minutes.

Cuba Gooding Jr. holds the record for the most outrageous speech of all time, and for a good reason. The whole room lit up when he won for Jerry McGuire and he carried that energy until he got off stage. It’s a rare occurrence, but certainly one that I’d love to see more.

I love this compilation because it shows what the 3-hour award show is usually about; letting actors and actresses give their thanks while comedians interject in-between to keep it interesting.

Watch World’s ‘Deepest’ Trash Bin Video | The Fun Theory Strikes Again

Posted: 07 Mar 2010 04:15 PM PST

They got people to recycle and take the stairs instead of the escalator. Now they are getting people to put their rubbish in the bin by making it fun.

Volkswagen’s TheFunTheory.com encourages positive human behaviors by making what would otherwise be boring or not fun activities fun to do.

While the whole project does irk me a bit because adults are being treated like children, I do still love it. What adult doesn’t need a bit more fun in his or her life?

What makes the whole thing even better is people trying to figure out how the thing works. Three points for curiosity, people.

Watch 2010 Academy Awards Oscar Nominations Video | Celebrity Time Again

Posted: 07 Mar 2010 03:58 PM PST

It’s that time of the year again when celebrities walk the red carpet and eagerly await to see if their Oscar nomination will lead to an award.

While I can’t be bothered to quite translate the US show time to Australian show time, I have read that the Oscars start at 8pm EST.

After some interesting turns at the Razzies – complete with Sandra Bullock receiving ‘worst actress’ for her role in All About Steve – I wonder who will be a little nervous coming into this year’s Oscars.

To be completely honest with you, I don’t really care. I haven’t seen many of these movies, and I haven’t even heard of others.

I just hope everyone has a good, fun time.

Funny “Dork Anthem” Song Video | Dave and Brian Sing One for the Nerds

Posted: 07 Mar 2010 01:23 PM PST

Dorks, nerds, geeks, whatever you call them, chances are that you didn't treat them very well in high school. In this song Dave and Brian remind you that karma’s a bitch.

After all, while the dorks are suffering through the humiliation of another failed social interaction, they’re also content in the knowledge that it won’t last. And while the jocks reign supreme in high school, they’re working for those very same dorks once they graduate.

This fun track easily combines comedy with some killer crunchy chords. It’s easy to dismiss Dave and Brian as a novelty act, but just see if you’re not humming this for the rest of the day.

Skateboarder Crash Video | Jake Carmichael Bends Wrong Way, Smashes Face On Ground

Posted: 07 Mar 2010 12:43 PM PST

I’ve said many times before here on WebTVHub that I live a relatively quiet life because I choose not to partake in any activity which is likely to kill, maim, or seriously injure me.

Skateboarding is one of those activities. As this video clearly demonstrates.

This is truly an epic video, being both a visual and aural treat. Not only do we get to see Jake Carmichael smash his face on the ground and bend the wrong way, we hear it too. The sound of his body snapping is both wondrous and sickening at the same time.

The aftermath sees Carmichael picking bits of pavement out of his face, and there may be a trip to the dentist required as well. But his back seems to be OK. Then again, that snapping action is what the most hardened chiropractor endeavors to do, so maybe it did him some good!
