Acting with James Franco

Funny or Die is a beautiful thing. It allows celebrities a receptacle for their own viral videos. Sometimes you see a celebrity make a total ass out of themselves and realize how completely unfunny he/she actually is. And sometimes you get high comedy art.

For example:

A Friday bonus!

Too much candy from Capucha on Vimeo.

Okay, this is the last of the Capucine videos. For now. And it's a two-parter! In the first, watch Capucine figure out a way to get her and her mother out of trouble for eating too much candy. In the second, watch the outtakes.

Seriously, if someone could get me a little cute French child, I'd be much obliged.

The trouble with time travelers...

This is a hilarious short fiction piece from ABYSS & APEX - a collection of short science fiction works. This is my all time favorite entry - an argument in a chat room between time travelers and whether or not they're allowed to kill Hitler.

EVERYBODY KILLS HITLER ON THEIR FIRST TRIP

Yes, the rest of this week shall be Capucine week.

Eat your carrots ! from Capucha on Vimeo.

I really can't help myself. She is too cute. In this video, Capucine so does not want to eat her carrots. But she is brilliant, and comes up with a diversionary tactic.

I desperately want this child for my dissertation.

Once upon a time... from Capucha on Vimeo.

I know this has already made the internet rounds, but I was too lazy to post it when it first popped up. After viewing this, you will want to procure a little French child of your very own.

AND, even better - there are magnets and buttons with Capucine drawings, coupled with lines from her story - for sale. I sort of really want them. Profits go to a good cause. I sort of really need them, then.

If this is a paid job...

then we live in a wonderful world.

My favorite point of interest is the one denoting a senseless thumb war in Iraq.

Travel around the world, clicking on the pins, to discover random facts about the "lesser, conquerable nations of the Earth." Created by the fine folks at The Onion.

(Apparently, 70% of the Hungarian population is involved, in one way or another, in porn? Can this really be true?)

(Also, I especially like the things said about France. So true.)
