Hollywood Elite Come to McCain's Rescue
mediabistro.com: FishBowlLA — Yes, John Woo, Kevin Smith and Wes Anderson are doing all they can to get John McCain in the White House. We love this video, even though we had to watch it twice to figure out that the young guy with white schmootz in his hair is supposed to be McCain.

If Hollywood Directors Did McCain Attack Ads
The Movie Blog — We’ve all seen the John McCain attack ads. But what if he got a little more creative and hired some Hollywood directors to do some for him? John Woo? Kevin Smith? Wes Anderson? What would those ads look like? (Thanks to Jared for the heads up) ...

Watch This: Hollywood Director Attack Ads
Cinematical — This one was sent in to us yesterday by Cinematical reader Jared N. and I wasn't going to post it because I guess it could kinda sorta be anti-McCain (and I know how much our readers love to call me out whenever I post something even remotely left-ish), but in my heart of hearts I feel this makes more fun of directors John Woo, Kevin Smith and Wes Anderson than it does John McCain. It's rather harmless in my opinion, but feel free to once again call me all sorts of racist, disgusting, hateful names in the comments section. With that out of the way, a group of funny blokes from LandlineTV put ...

Auteurs for McCain. Clip of the Day.
SpoutBlog — Yesterday we pointed to a clip showing that everybody and their Pokémon-loving little brother seems to be endorsing Obama. Well not so fast, my friends, we’ve got them right where we want them. What if some legendary Hollywood directors produced attack ads for the McCain camp? Then we’ll see who has an eleven point lead! Folkinz points us to a clip of what it might look like if John Woo, Kevin Smith, and Wes Anderson went GOP. Although it would never happen in reality, anything is possible on the internet! The Wes Anderson piece at the end ...

Our 5 Favorite Election Parody Videos [Lists]
Gawker — It's a stark reality of American politics that (gulp) most of the grainy election spoof videos that you find online are really terrible. Tired old jokes done unoriginally without any thought toward editing and seeing if your joke has been made five thousand times before. So it is a rare treat when you stumble upon a little gag clip skewering the presidential candidates (but, um, usually mostly John McCain—what's that thing about funny Conservatives, again?). Again, there aren't many, but there are a proud few. We've put five of our favorites (plus a little bonus!) after the jump. Feel free to add your own in the comments. ...

Weird Web Wednesdays: Bill Cosby is Now Crazy AND Old
Film Junk — Sorry for the late post guys… busy day. Fortunately for you, I just couldn’t let Wednesday go by without posting spreading the joy of funny videos. I have to admit, I’m pretty sick of hearing about the U.S. election, but it does make for some good viral vids not the least of which is the comeback of the Wassup Guys! Terry Tate also takes Sarah Palin to task, meanwhile a budding sportscaster lets his nerves get the best of him, and Bill Cosby proves that he is still one wacky dude. P.S. If anyone out there can tell me what the heck is up with that Czech song, it would be greatly appreciated! It’s a global ...

The Triump of Wes Anderson, or Sympathy for John McCain
Movies et al. — Slate's got a nice little slideshow up about the rise and fall of Wes Anderson: his fantastic debut, his two masterpieces, his two lesser but still wonderful films, and then (the primary subject) the ubiquity of his imitators. You can check out the slideshow yourself here: http://www.slate.com/id/2218420/ ...
