Helen Keller with her teacher Anne Sullivan

Posted by Pete Berg on Thursday, August 20th, 2009 at 1:20 pm

This creepy old film shows Helen Keller being a creep. It’s also my firm belief that Helen Keller was the biggest FRAUD ever perpetrated on the American people. Thanks for the nightmares, you scary weirdo.

The Droids – The Force

Posted by Pete Berg on Sunday, August 9th, 2009 at 7:06 pm

The Droids were a French electronic band from the 70s that pre-dated Daft Punk…but also happen to feature two dudes in robot suits. (There’s definitely a strong similarity…) Anyway, this is a song released in 1977, inspired by the original Star Wars film…I thought it was pretty sweet.

This is another scene from the 1979 Errol Morris documentary Gates of Heaven (about a pet cemetery). This cracks me up! (You have to watch it all the way to the end — you’ll know what I mean!)
