I know...you thought this was going to be about Juno or something. But alas I have not seen it (nor any other Oscar nominated films). My daughter has seen it twice and was terribly excited when she saw the Oscar noms.
My children will often call out from another room, "Mom...come on! You've got to see this on YouTube." My reaction is usually one of the following:
1. Ignoring them
2. Telling them I'm boycotting YouTube because the Church of Scientology tells me to
3. Responding, "No, because I will never have a chance to regain the three minutes I will waste watching some stupid video of a guy crashing a bike into a tree." (Oh, sorry, that was a video my son and his friend posted on YouTube.)
And I have certainly never posted a movie on my blog because I appreciate that you indulge me by just reading my words. I can't possibly impose additional minutes and a new media on you. But this video, sent by my friend and Trivia Partner, Elinor, was utterly irresistable!!! Trust me on this...take a chance on wasting two minutes:
Pass it along!

I rolled my eyes for the first 5 seconds -- then got busy wiping the tears away. Thanks for that!

I've seen this! Isn't it something? I'm like Karen - at first I thought, "Oh brother." Then I got into it!
Love the new look here by the way - big fan of purple!

This man has ended up being quite famous, and even has appeared on Oprah as a result of this.
