Incredibly, I’ve yet to get tired of the supercut as an internet art form. This latest, from NextMovie, “Fix Edukation Now,” is actually pretty clever. It combines all of cinematic students’ most idiotic answers to basic classroom questions (that they could think of). Easily my favorite clip is the one from Dangerous Minds where Michelle Pfeiffer tells her class “Today we’re going to conjugate some verbs.” To which a Mexican kid with a ponytail replies, “Hey! What about karate?”
I want to drive to the screenwriter’s house and high five him right now because that is awesome. I demand this become a meme somehow.
This new supercut “video essay” (well la di da, Professor Smartguy) is about as self-explanatory as it gets. Coming to us from Flavorwire, And Introducing… cuts together clips of famous actors in their first film roles. As far as I know, Sylvester Stallone’s clip, fromThe Party at Kitty and Stud’s, is the only film debut on the list that came from a porno. But only because they left out that child porn Danny Masterson starred in. What? Don’t look at me like that, you know how Scientologists are.
Here’s “Deep Thoughts, With Morgan Freeman,” a supercut of Morgan Freeman’s most philosophical moments. Surprisingly, he says nothing on the subject of banging your own granddaughter. |NextMovie|

The Total Recall remake opens this August, and it departs from the original in a number of ways, including replacing Arnold with Colin Farrell, setting the entire thing on Earth, and perhaps most worrisome, aiming for a PG-13 rating (BUT WHAT OF THE THREE TITTIES, WHAT?!). At the very least, let’s hope it shares the original’s passion for breaking glass. This supercut edits all the scenes of glass-breaking (and pretty tightly) into this video, which still manages to fill up 1:16 of screen time. That has to be some kind of record. It’s set to “Shattered” by The Rolling Stones, which is fun and apt, but what I’m really looking forward to is Arnold’s commentary track.
“Hallo, jah, this Ahnuld Sfartsineggah, and heah I am on da screen. Here’s da great glass scene wit me, and da vindow. And now in dis scene I am trying very hard to break da glass, and all da glass want to do is to not break. But den right deah I take da gun, and den right heah I break it. …Ow! And there you see, I haff broken da glass.”
I believe this was based on the Phillip K. Dick story “We Can Re-Glass It For You Wholesale.” [via TheDailyWhat]
