|   Folk satire | jack70
Mar 2, 2003 4:28 AM | | Here's a funny 2 & 1/2 minute film by Christopher Guest & others that mocks the Folk movement a bit, but in good fun, not viciously. Most of you already know who Guest is, so you know what to expect. You'll recognize many of the actors too.
The enter page lets you pick the player and connection speed for your PC... Since I have cable I used Quicktime and Broadband... that file was 20M(!). But I don't know how different the quality is at other speeds. It'll probably play better (smoother) after it's finished and you re-play it [offline]. On the heels of the annual Grammy nonsense, I enjoyed it... and saved it on my hard-drive.

On a similar vein...have you ever seen the John West Salmon commercial?
You can find it here then choose "Ursa" - geri!(John West Salmon commercial" in either asf or mpg formats). It's a favorite of mine. |
