@achewood There are only five Wodehouse books on my special Wodehouse shelf?! As Jeeves himself might ask, "Where in the fuck are the rest of them."

They had yogurt Nutri-Grain bars in the vending machine today. I was scared to buy it in case it tainted the greatness induced by regular ones.

Did you check out the other commercials there? The starbucks one made me yawn for a good solid minute. Dammit, just thinking about it made me yawn again. Good stuff.

Missed opportunity.  I was at the Weight Watchers tonight and the leader was hawking the WW nutrition bars and she compared them to Nutrigrain.  I had just gotten there (late) and didn't snap to what she was saying until it was too late and the moment had passed.  I could have made a hell of a scene.  Dammit if i'd had a nutrigrain this wouldn't have happened.  I'll feel great tomorrow.  Tonight i'm too tired.

I watched the other ones.  I liked the lunatic one.

And yeah, that Starfucks ad was yawnfully contagious.  What a great spot.

I watched that one a few times, because the filmmaking was really quite exquisite.

Now, even sans Nutrigrain, I feel great!

Is there any way we can put you in charge of all advertising... ever? I might watch TV again were that to be.

Divx.

Thanks.  That was my first movie, too.  I had a hell of a time trying to figure out how to use Premiere, and ended up using a nifty little free tool called VirtualDub.

Yea. Premiere is hell. And VirtualDub is pretty nifty. Used both a bit, although a while back. Only cause to use VirtualDub now is to try and fix the odd divx file that I downloaded.

I reckon we should just force you to go off make a random movie every week.
All opening a Joughpike Films website.
All downloading huge divx movies on a shitty modem connection.
All getting hella drunk waiting.

It's now snowing, and I feel great.

Dude, that link required me to either pay $19.95 for the codec or agree to some Gator powered Adware.

Your film sounds good.

Try and downlaod the Nimo codec pack. There you can get the safe version of divx codec, as well as most other codecs you will ever need.
It can clash with XVid occasionally however. But it sounds like that won't matter to you.

Seconded.  And the Nimo Codec page flat-out tells you to be careful about the adware you'll wind up with. Not tech-savvy enough to be dealing with this shiznit.

Don't you people ever update Windows?  I encoded the damn thing into Divx because I figured it would have fairly universal support.

Okay, because I love you all:

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Nimo_Codec_Pack.htm

Click the "Download" link.  Install using the defaults if you don't know what you want/need.

It worked and I was able to see the commercial.

Now I feel great.
