What I've Been Watching This Week
I thought today we might do another post with the YouTube videos I've watched this week. I don't really allow a lot of time for wasting on YouTube, but I do visit once or twice a week, look at what the algorithm throws at me, add any that look good to my Watch Later list, and then return at night to watch one or two of them.
Here are a few videos I enjoyed this week.
(html comment removed: ref:title)A new samurai movie that looks pretty good. It's hard for me to see Tsuyoshi Kusanagi as anything other than "that SMAP guy", but he does look good in the trailer here. But then again, I'm a sucker for a good samurai film.

Richard Feynman always puts things in such an interesting and easy-to-understand way. Here he is explaining the science behind time perception. I love videos like this!

Here is Tim Curry breaking down some of his most iconic roles. What an amazing actor. It's great hearing his take on these roles. To me, it's Rocky Horror and It. But he was great in everything he did.

Batman and Superman's take on if we should accept an AI-Governed life.

Over the past few years, the internet has decided that Indiana Jones didn't actually have any effect on the plot of Raiders of the Lost Ark. That is to say, what happened with him there would have happened without him there. This video takes on those arguments

Well anyway, that's it. Any stand out to you?

I really liked Tim Curry's role in Home Alone 2. It was interesting hearing that he had been considered for the role of Marv in the original.
Mostly the Olympics for me, but the world baseball classic is right around the corner!
It's really been long I visited YouTube for entertainment 😄😄
