MOVIECLIPS.com – Short clips of your favorites [VIDEO]
September 18, 2010 By Leave a Comment
MOVIECLIPS.com is a fun and easy way to find and embed your favorite clips. A great and easy way to relive your favorite scenes or license a clip to spruce up your presentation.
I started this post thinking I’ll share one of my all-time favorites, when Dean Farber lets “Mr. Blutarsky” know his average is a “zero-point-zero.” But then I got carried away (you will too) and I had to post memorable scenes from The Princess Bride, Fargo, The Blues Brothers, Taxi Driver, The Bad News Bears, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Airplane!, It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, Wall Street, Moulin Rouge, Cocoon, and still I wasn’t satisfied (but had to go to bed).
In the comments, confess how long you stayed on this post. Which was your favorite? Which was missing?
Enjoy the next half hour of your life!
From MOVIECLIPS.com:
We at MOVIECLIPS.com are movie fans – no, we are movie freaks! We love movies. We love to see movies. We love to talk about movies. We love to discover, rediscover and relive movies. For this reason, we have created movieclips.com – to bottle that insane, enthusiastic energy and share it with the world. With over 12,000 movie clips, you can search, find, view, discuss and share scenes from your favorite movies.
For a year, the team at MOVIECLIPS has worked tirelessly to collect clips and make them completely searchable by actor, title, genre, occasion, action, mood, character, theme, setting, prop, and even dialogue. This makes it simple to find a scene fast. We are hopeful that you’ll use this powerful search to discover new movies. For that reason, we’ve included links with each clip to easily buy or rent the feature-length movie.
We want to thank the Hollywood studios who’ve worked closely with us to turn this dream into a reality. No longer do we as fans have to resort to piracy in order to find, view, and share one’s favorite scenes. No longer do we as fans have to wade through mismarked user-generated crap to find the “real” scene. No longer do we as fans have to put up with low quality, lame viewing experiences that have been our only option.
MOVIECLIPS beta is here now! We are legal and free to every user. As beta users, we are counting on your participation: spread the word, give us feedback, and recommend more of your favorite scenes. The uploading process takes time, but we wanted to give everyone a taste of what we have before the holidays, and we will be uploading thousands of scenes over the next couple of months.

I just love anything Betty White does. Add in Abe Vigoda as a punchline and you have the perfect commercial.

While I don’t watch The Simpsons much any more, this is a clip of my absolute favorite episode.
Favorite line: “This is gonna cost me.” Enjoy!
Here’s another favorite: The Donut from Hell.

Big words: good or bad?
November 16, 2008 By 12 Comments
I have a rich vocabulary and I like using it. Is that so bad?
According to one of my closest Wharton buddies, yes. “As soon as you pass the SAT exam, you should get rid of those words. First, you sound arrogant. Second, when use words people don’t know, you make them uncomfortable.”
I brought a departmental meeting to a halt once when I congratulated a team member for keeping our website project on schedule. I said it was a “Herculean effort.” Years and years ago I was ridiculed for the torrid sales for Jell-O Cheesecake Snacks. And I have a detractor who hates when things are “amiss.”
“No one talks that way,” he says.
Another time I used the word didactic. Truth is, I knew didactic was big when I said it. But as I began, “I’m not trying to be didactic here,” I couldn’t think of a lesser synonym.
T. Hardy challenged me. “If Joe Hage is that smart, he can think of another way to say it.” The best I could come up with was pedantic, but I don’t think that helped my case very much.
Days later, I had another didactic moment. I began, “I’m not trying to be …” and I stopped. I tried to think of an inoffensive synonym.
It seemed like a long time.
Then I gave up and said, “I’m not trying to be all teacher-y here….”
I’m pretty sure no one was offended.
Except me.

I’m often asked
what I’m doing
with that gun
in my hand.
I still haven’t come up with a clever answer. Any suggestions?
