Billy Bob Thornton’s interview along with his band The Boxmasters on a Canadian radio station is a little bit different in that it features a lot of hostility, confusion and vacant answers before he loses his patience (at about 6 minutes 45 seconds) at the interviewer for asking him about musical influences and gets irritated by the presenter mentioning he’s an actor. Oh. Kay…

Where The Wild Things Are trailer
Stunning looking preview for the forthcoming film adaptation of the children’s book by Spike Jonze with muisc by Arcade Fire.

2. Lost as Muppet Babies
Dialogue from Lost characters dubbed over footage of the Muppet Babies (Sawyer as Animal, Jack as Kermit) results in a weirdly existential and funny clip.


3. Hudson Plane simulation
A computer-generated simulation of Flight 1549, the plane which crashed in the Hudson River is recounted with actual audio as it happens.

4. Sigur Ros Takeaway Show
The notoriously difficult band give a stirring performance in a Parisian café worthy of the prolonged anticipation and a wait for two drum brushes.
