live action recreation of the intro the the simpsons

This is beyond cool. Follow this link to You Tube if the embedded player thingy doesn't work. I removed the embedded player thingy because it was slowing the load time of the page. The video is still really cool, though.

Update - I'm just going to add a two more cool things here which don't fit anywhere else, but go nicely together with the video above:

This guy bought an old Superman pinball machine, customized it, and it was reborn as a Futurama pinball machine, complete with spinning Slurm can. Awesome.

At boingboing, Cory linked to this ten minute video of Disneyland's Main Street USA, right after it opened in 1956. Very, very cool.
