I Want to Buy a Rangefinder Movie?

Was this created by someone here on RFF? I'm not sure if this has been posted here, yet. If so, I'll delete the thread. Pretty funny, though.

Its been posted here and all over the net about 5 million times. I didn't watch much of it. Those Xtranormal movies make me want to chew my own leg off to escape the mind-numbing boredom. The speech is stilted and slow and the graphics stupid, being the same thing for EVERY DAMNED MOVIE. Yuck.

Stilted video or not, that is hilarious!

I don't know, having had several of these other videos inflicted on me, I just couldn't do it. My time is valuable and the minutes flushed down the toilet to watch yet another dead boring xtranormal are minutes I would never get back. I'd rather do something useful with my time, like counting cracks in the ceiling or stacking up toothpicks.
 
Ray... It's been posted here a number of times. That said, I thought it was absolutely hysterical. It had to be a RFF person, no question. I think in the original thread it actually stated as much.

I understand some of the boredom with these but the content to me, with the mind numbing metronomic speech, is darn funny. The iPhone vs. Evo is great, both the versions pro and con for the iPhone.

It is close to the bone. It's basically all of RFF rolled into a four minute video. It should be sticky for new members. Whoever made the thing really nailed it. It was probably a cut-and-paste right from the forum.

Chris, the video is mine, sorry it wasted your time. How many cracks are there?

It's well written and funny as Hell.

Yeah like commenting on a thread for something you hate.

I found it funny and paced fine, I like deadpan, dry delivery. I suspect it is probably harder to write something coherent for that sort of movie than a more natural clip.
 
Of course posting on the Internet about this Video probably took more time than watching it.

I spend enough time working, nice to unwind with something mindless. Or shimming a J-3 or making a Sonnar into Leica Mount. Shimming a Sonnar in a J-3 mount, priceless.

Little Johnny Jones wanted a rangefinder camera, and no Shrinking violet was he!

As he walked off to the store, he could be heard to sing...

So long Mom, I'm off to Drop a Wad

A Leica M9 for me.

I loved it. Even though the generic graphics were pure rubbish and the voices were bland, the dialogue more than made up for it.

Cheers,
