Screengrabs from a YOUTUBE video of CLOSET CASES OF THE NERD KIND
I used to have a YOUTUBE channel, but I left two or three years ago.
During the past few years, I've been finding a lot of RARE and NEVER released on home video titles on YOUTUBE, and a few other websites, like HULU, and ARCHIVE dot ORG.
I recently saw the uncensored version of HARDWARE WARS ( on HULU ). It's the first time I've seen it since my youth! STAR WARS was still fresh when this parody was released.
I also watched CLOSET CASES OF THE NERD KIND, a parody of CLOSE ENCOUNTERS ( on YOUTUBE ).

You need to watch the videos as soon as you find them, because they may not be online for long.
A very short list of FREE video websites is below.....
YOUTUBE - Almost everyone in the world knows about this website. You can find almost anything here, and most of it is still FREE.
ARCHIVE.ORG - Tons of FREE public domain movies, tv shows, trailers, and more!
HULU - There's some FREE stuff to watch.
SHORT FILM OF THE WEEK - Lots of FREE short films to watch here.
PBS - You can watch shows, documentaries, and even an occasional mini-series for FREE. Most of the videos have an EXPIRATION DATE.
MHZ NETWORKS - Mostly Euro mystery shows and dramas. The videos are only FREE for a SHORT TIME.
Every so often, I'll find YOUTUBE channels that are actually worth my time.
Their videos are either FUN, or USEFUL, and sometimes both!
As you know, at least one quarter of the YOUTUBE channels you'll encounter are run by FRUITCAKES.
Boy, I could tell you stories about some of the INSANE folks I've seen, but that's a story for another time.
Below is a SHORT list of YOUTUBE channels I recommend, and brief thoughts about them.....
87 R JOHNS
If you've read my blog before, then chances are, you know how much I love a chain of stores called DOLLAR TREE.
Well, there seems to be a TON of other folks that feel the same way.
One of them calls herself 87 R Johns.
She really does give useful information about the products she's purchased, and she does it in a coherent manner!
I love her positive attitude, even when she doesn't like a product.
Let me point out the obvious, she's adorable!... Holy crap! She should be doing print ads and tv commercials. As an added bonus, she appears to be intelligent! Our country may not be doomed after all!... ha-ha-ha...

VIRTUAL BOOKSHELVES
I don't have any interest in reading most of the youth targeted books she talks about. However, I still watch, because I think she's very entertaining.
Plus, she's got the right attitude, a great personality, and her enthusiasm is infectious!
Listening to her opinions is fun, and she's cute!
If you don't smile at least once, while watching her, then you've got a heart of stone.

MONSTER MODEL REVIEW
When I was young, I loved building model kits. During the early nineties, I stopped building for many reasons.
Now, I've started building again ( when I can find CHEAP kits ).
There are a lot of YOUTUBE channels about kit building. One of my favorites is called MONSTER MODEL REVIEW.

Don't forget folks... may the farce be with you.....
There are surely a LOT of cool short (and long) films on YouTube, and many talented people as well, be they video bloggers or makers of narrative tales. But if you find something on YT that you want to see, better watch it quick before it's gone, because there are peeps out there who are basically "copyright squatters" who get stuff like old public domain movies yanked off the site, even if they have no right to do so, legally or otherwise. It happens.
