Borussia Dortmund’s rather brilliant anti-Nazi promo. To wit:

We at BVB make our position unequivocally clear. We will not tolerate any far-right disposition in our stadium. Intimidation and discrimination have no place at our ground. Should anyone have the misguided belief that they can misuse our sport and Borussia Dortmund to spread their inhumane propaganda, then they should be in no doubt: The schwarzgelb family will stand firm against them! It is the only way we can rid our stadia of such attitudes. Nazis and football do not go together!

Animator Tyler Hurd sez:

BUTTS is a profound 3D animated cartoon about anxiety, depression, and lending a hand to those in need. Perhaps the most important film of the decade, ‘BUTTS’ is a reminder that no matter how strange something may seem, people can still make a difference in their own unique and beautiful way.” I worked on this on and off in my spare time over the past 18 months. I handled everything visual, and I had help with sound. It’s my most profound and stupid work to date.

You may or may not be reminded of this little beauty.

An incredibly impressive graduation film by students Régis Aillet, Alexandre Bass, Clément Chaudat, Etienne Devillée and Maxime Moreira of ESMA Montpellier wherein an empty-netted old salt attempts to impress a young chap on the dockside with embellished yarns about his adventures at sea.

Best in fullscreen.

In an interview first shown in February and repeated last night on CBS, 60 Minutes’ Anderson Cooper talked to Liam Neeson about losing his wife Natasha Richardson in 2009 and coping with grief.

He also paid tribute to friend Bono for something he said to Neeson’s son, Michael.
