Gecko Meets Godzilla
-
That's a video short I'd wait in line to see. For those of you who don't understand the reference, Google for "Bambi Meets Godzilla" and you'll get the idea. Any of you who are assaulted with the commercials for insurance company Geico will doubtless have noticed that they've changed from the quirky, funny little spots to using a CGI gecko (complete with Aussie accent) doing a standup monologue routine. I can't hit the fast forward button on my DVR quick enough to suit me. I say it's time we put a bounty on his little orange head. Now the Taco Bell Chihuahua - there was an icon you could look up to. So to speak.

I agree. I change the channel whenever that thing comes on. The old "I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance..." bits were much better. Alvaro

Well, someone had to pick up the slack of the Energizer Bunny. :rolleyes:

They wanted to charge me about $1000 more per year than State Farm. BTW, State Farm is awesome! Esp. with claims handling. (Sorry for the blatant add but give credit were it is due)

I instantly associated Gecko with the rendering engine in Firefox rather than the actual animal. :rolleyes:

Same thing for AAA. It's my belief that Geico exists soley for entertainment purposes. :)

-Adam Duritz, of Counting CrowsSame here. I thought Godzilla was a new product proposal from Mozilla which used the Geckco rendering engine.

I too associated it with the rendering engine. :doh:

That's the first time in a decade that I've seen the entire movie. Usually what's found on the Internet is just a few seconds of it. Wish I knew how or where to save it before it vanishes again. It's a classic!

Behold. KeepVid[^]. Which allows you to save flv files from YouTube, Google Video, etc etc etc. :)

That may work on Google Video, but not on places like YouTube...

Only if you enjoy hiring lawyers. My wife has been hit twice by people running stop signs and both times we had to take them to court (and we had police witnesses).

-Adam Duritz, of Counting CrowsApparently not. Windows Media 9 complains about the .avi, "module not found". They appear to not want it downloaded in a useful form. This is the sort of thing that irritates me - I'd gladly pay for this video, but it's simply not for sale. I encountered similar frustration when trying to purchase the CD soundtrack for "National Treasure." It's already out of print and out of stock, shortly after the movie was released. I like the music, so I tried to give them my money, but I can't. However, if I went to a music site and downloaded it (a practice I generally oppose for work where the artist should be getting paid), RIAA would have 45 guys outside my door with rocket launchers. For a video such as Bambi, which I believe to be in the public domain at this point, these download games really test my patience.
