Here’s a collection of [NBC network and TV show promos from the years 1966 to 1968.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kowZ6RCdXBU&mode=related&search=) My favorite is the one featuring the short-lived “NBC Penguin” at the very end. ---

[Lon Chaney Tribute, scored to Mike Oldfield](http://youtube.com/watch?v=zhC7fK9ui2g) [Charles Trenet](http://youtube.com/watch?v=17M7VveFwfc) (yes, I know he was gay so there’s that obvious false note, but the point that this world is diminished by his absence yet enriched for his having been with us is not to be overlooked). ---

[QUOTE=NDP] My favorite is the one featuring the short-lived “NBC Penguin” at the very end. [/QUOTE] I believe the NBC Penguin was only used once, as a joke, in front of the broadcast of _A Hard Day’s Night_- hence the appearance of the Beatles at the end. (I’ve also seen a gag NBC intro from _Laugh-In_ where the peacock sneezes and blows his feathers off.) ---

Late entry. A buddy of mine (Dan) finally posted one of his student films (actually his pal Kurt’s film, but Dan’s the star). It’s shot entirely in B&W, sound dubbed in later, on the extremely cheap – but it works for me. Then again, I’m in it – I’m the guy who gets punched out by a girl. 🙂 [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/13Fo0p_xPZk/hqdefault.jpg "Hercules The Lion Unchained") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13Fo0p_xPZk) ---

[QUOTE=NDP] Entertaining, but I couldn’t make out what the end goal for the device was. [/QUOTE] It appears to be a clip from the Swiss film _Der Lauf der Dinge (The Way Things Go)_. The contraption in the film doesn’t appear to have any goal, and keeps going long after the film ends (we can still hear it go during the credits). ---

[QUOTE=iluvurmom] I love Jason Mraz he is awesome. [/QUOTE] Yeah well, I love your mom. (That was lame, I know.) Anywho, he’s probably my favorite singer. Way better when he doesn’t have a full band behind him, when it’s just him and his guitar. And Toca, can’t forget him. ---
