As we saw previously in the “Mirror Scare” and “No Signal” compilations (not to mention “I’m not here to make friends“), there’s just something gratifying about seeing something you never would’ve disputed was a  cliché pummeled into submission with excessive examples of said cliché.  Today’s mashup, from the Guy Bauer Half Hour, deals with “We’ve got company” — also my favorite YTMND whatsit.  This one’s even more fascinating, as “We’ve got company” remains strangely pervasive as a movie line despite that I don’t think I’ve ever heard it in another context.  The few times I’ve said it myself have always been whispered during foreplay as I gestured towards my extensive doll collection.

"Looks like we've got company."

Fourfour recently put together this video compilation which does for the “mirror scare” in movies what that one No-Signal video did for the… having no signal in movies.  One thing becomes clear as you watch it: there really are a lot of movies with mirror scares. And the compilation is well done, very thorough.  I saw a similar compilation like this dealing with clichés in adult film.  Huge, Jiggly, Oiled-Up Titties, I believe it was called. Very eye-opening.

Videogum put together this nice little compilation of moments from movies wherein the actors in that movie say the title of that movie, which is almost as awesome as when bands reference an old song of theirs in a new song.  Anyway, it’s a fun little video and it saves me the trouble of doing any actual work.  Working is for poor people.
