I don't know if you've seen The Crow or not but this is a dark little gem that needs to be on your list of movies to watch. Or watch again. Starring the late Brandon Lee (yes, son of legendary martial artist Bruce Lee) as the main character, or anti-hero, Eric Draven, who died during the making of the movie after being shot by an improperly loaded prop gun. The film was released after Lee's death, becoming both a commercial as well as a critical success and was based on the comic book series by James O'Barr, which was published in 1989 to much critical acclaim.And the music! The soundtrack was amazing and worked perfectly with the story in my opinion. The movie is about the revenge Draven seeks after being resurrected by a supernatural crow a year after his own death (on Halloween no less) trying to save his fiancée Shelly (played by Sofia Shinas) during her fatal attack in their shared apartment at the hands of a gang of criminals. The crow seems to help Draven and...

Get ready to plunge down the old "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" rabbit hole. Its time for another hoedown with Wayne Brady, Brad Sherwood, Colin Mochrie, and of course Ryan Stiles. Host Aisha Tyler asks the studio audience for a topic and they choose "marriage" as the subject and throws it over to the guys as the music begins to play (courtesy of Laura Hall) with Wayne kicking it off. I can't help but laugh out loud just about every time I watch clips from the show on YouTube and this is a good one. Even Colin Mochrie lost it when Ryan invoked "a young Joe Pesci" causing all to fall apart. When they all composed themselves, wiping away tears of laughter, Ryan tried again but broke again replacing the Pesci line with "a young Abe Vigoda", another unexpected reference. I've been watching Whose Line Is It Anyway? since it first showed up back in 1998 with Drew Carey as the host and mostly featuring Wayne, Colin and Ryan. Aisha Tyler does a...

And here's Asmondgold 's take on The Liver King's threats and arrest. First there's him muttering to the camera about Joe Rogan's "gonna pay" and he's all stealth mode creeping through a house dressed in a black hoodie, with his eyes darting this way and that. He looks deranged in my opinion, but watch Asmondgold's reaction. The "Liver King's real name is Brian Johnson and he had his moment in the sun back in 2021 when the Internet turned their bemused eyes on Johnson who was this weird overly muscled character who ate raw organ meat claiming this caused his "neanderthal-like" build and that you needed to do this too for real healthy living. Here's a Youtube Short video of him sitting down to "eat breakfast". But he doesn't really eat much raw meat in the video, showing distain for actual food like the whole foods, slapping it off the table. After being exposed as a fraud Johnson had been STILL desperately ...

Once again, the pitchforks are out, youtubers are out in force, and boy are they angry, and they're calling for MrBeast 's scalp or at the very least an explanation WTF he thinks he doing. Why, you may ask, because isn't Jimmy the beloved smiling face of YouTube from a content creator standpoint? Here's a quick video from OG Youtuber Phil DeFranco where he covers the main points. Well just like the sudden reputational downgrade Elon Musk experienced recently, Jimmy Donaldson, owner and the main driving force behind YouTube's Most Subscribed Channel (with more than 408 million subs) and it feels like MrBeast poked many youtubers in their collective eyes. MrBeast has apparently embraced the dark arts of artificial intelligence and has found a new way to monetize AI and he is offering you this gift (for the low, low price of your creative soul) and a mere $80 a month so you too can forgo forever the tedious challenges of creating you own thumbnails with software ...

I've been a viewer of the videos of LEMMiNO for a long time now, first noticing his detailed, well-thought out content years ago, mostly his stuff about Space, which has developed into a multi-year, episodic series that I've recommended vigorously to my fellow space-nerd friends. The video below is LEMMiNO's most recent video that he's uploaded to YouTube last May 2024 called "The Unbreakable Kryptos Code" that currently has 7.5 million views. Posting the video here does not detract views or Adsense revenue from LEMMiNO at all, as all views and ad money stays with the channel that uploaded it. Enjoy. Now back to our previously scheduled blog post. Like a lot of the really good content I stumble across, LEMMiNO was a smaller channel with niche-like beginnings (in his case an apparent love for "rage comics"), his content slowly morphed into more thought provoking stuff that he calmly narrated in a soft-spoken, almost ASMR-like Swedish accent. But...

For most, Google Adsense is one of the primary revenue streams available to youtubers and Jenn from vidIQ points out some new options for increasing the amount of money flowing towards content creators on the website. If making more money with your Youtube channel interests you, then take a look at this video that's just been uploaded. It may give you some ideas of where you might expand your online endeavors or maybe grab an idea to put on the back burner to followup with later. These might offer some different ways to help crank up the money-making aspects for you. Of course there are the usual methods of increasing the amounts of money you can generate by getting brand deals or sponsorships, selling merchandise (like t-shirts, artwork), using affiliate marketing (getting a small slice of the pie when someone buys something you've directed them towards), digital products (ebooks, templates, software), or things like courses (but please not any of those lame "I made a...
