The Henson Company continues to create some of the best viral video content on the internet…. now if only someone would fast track another one of their movies into production, maybe we could see some of this magic on the big screen. The latest video features Beaker’s very sad performance of the famous Kansas-performed ballad Dust in the Wind. Watch it now, embedded after the jump.

In anticipation of the third episode of the Sixth and Final Season of Lost tonight (and yes, LA X was a two-parter, so this is the third episode), I have prepared a bunch of Lost videos I had been meaning to include in VOTD over the past week, but for one reason or another, never got to. If you haven’t seen the season premiere of Lost: Season Six, you might want to stay away to avoid potential spoilers.

If you happen to use the bathroom while being stalked by a serial killer or a ghost/monster, watch out, because they’re right behind you. Last year we posted a video compilation showing the many moments from horror movies where the protagonist is trapped with bad cell phone reception. Today we’ve found another horror video compilation, this time focused on the dreaded and overused horror cliche - the mirror scare. Watch the four minute compilation, embedded after the jump.

At the end of each year we usually publish a couple video montages showcasing the best movies of the last 365 days. /Film reader Paul Proulx decided to take it one step further and put together a video montage of the films of the last decade - the films of the 2000’s. Watch the montage embedded after the jump.

Jeff Wells has posted three awesome clips of Quentin Tarantino telling stories from the Directors on Directing panel in Santa Barbara this weekend. I’ve embedded all three after the jump. The first clip is about how directors raise the bar on each other and Tarantino recounts a story Brian DePalma told him about Martin Scorsese and Blow Out vs. Raging Bull. The second story is about how he had to prove himself the first week directing Reservoir Dogs. And the third story is about how James Cameron’s Avatar might have affected Kill Bill if it had been released first. I could listen to Tarantino tell his stories all day long (which reminds me, why doesn’t XM/Sirius hire this guy to do a weekly one-hour satellite radio show?) Watch the clips after the jump.

Poland-based commercial director and cinematographer who goes by the nickname Macgregor (real name, Miguel de Olaso) has released a teaser trailer for an upcoming independent aci-fi action film titled KORE. First discovered by Twitch, who compares the futuristic cityscape to “the world of Ridley Scott’s Bladerunner as filtered through the grime of Neill Blomkamp’s District 9.” There isn’t much more information on the project other than “coming some day”.
Four Eyed Monsters Associate Producer Mike Hedge is listed as a producer on the project. I’m guessing the teaser trailer is a test for an idea Macgregor has for a feature. I’d love to see it someday. Watch the teaser trailer embedded after the jump. I’ve also included some of Macgregor’s commercial work.
Update: /Film readers have noticed that the voiceover/score is borrowed from the trailer for the video game Prototype. I don’t believe the two projects are related. I’m guessing that the filmmaker just used the audio as a placeholder in this concept test.

/Film reader Kashif Pasta sends along word that District 9 director Neill Blomkamp recently gave a TED Talk at TEDxVancouver, and the video of his 13-minute presentation is now online.
So you undoubtedly know about TED talks, and of TEDx, the independently-organized TED events around the world. We had one recently in Vancouver, where Neill Blomkamp was a speaker. The video of his talk went up a couple of days ago, and regardless of whether it contains the direction of his next/a future film (which I strongly feel it does) that he’s going to do, it’s a pretty captivating, theoretical science-driven vision of our universe, life on other planets, and the future of human civilization in a way that most of us probably haven’t ever thought of. I think you’ll love it.

Last week we featured a video of Lost’s Ocean 815 crash in 24-style real time, complete with split screen. Pyram1dhead, the guy who created the original video, has returned with a follow-up, a prequel of sorts, combining clips from eight episodes, showing what happened to all the characters at the airport before they boarded the plane. As there is no plane crash in this one, it is as you might expect, a lot less action packed and a bit more character focused. Fans of the series should find it to be, at very least, an interesting experiment. Watch the video, embedded after the jump.
