Random VIDEO thread

I dig the Clive Cussler novels. This was the first attempt to turn a book into a movie. Not a great movie but it is doable, especially for 1980. The seconds attempt was Sahara, 2005. Some well knowns are in this movie and as an added bonus, Dirk Pitt is driving a Turbo Carrera in Raise the Titanic.




Both films kept Cussler at a distance when making the movie. Because of this, he probably will never agree to a book to movie deal again.

This may have been posted before. I don't keep up with this thread like the pics thread, but I don't think anyone will mind.

Language that's NSFW, but this guy is hilarious!

This is a video game edited to look like the real thing, very convincing too.

Going in the theme of fakery, and when does it matter - do you think the weather woman has had any work done?

Stunning weather girl admits she's had boob job – but denies bum is fake

She asked: "We would like to know if you are all natural or whether you have had something put..."

The presenter gingerly gestured to her bum and the guests cracked up laughing.

The weather girl replied: "No, it is all totally natural. I have never denied having a boob job, that yes, but the rest of my body is natural."

Maybe I'm the only idiot thinking:
that suspension arm looks pretty odd, almost like a table leg.. ha,ha,ha!!! I have been laughing at myself for a few minutes. That setup is pretty remarkable!

Drone swarm of unmanned "wingmen" being designed ground up as part of a manned fighter weapon system. Oh, and the bomber is linked into it too, or as they call it an unmanned ground target smart drone.
