Okay, so I've been listening to the LibriVox recording of The Castle of Otranto during my commute (I know I've read it because I remembered the helmet, but that's pretty much all I've remembered so far, so there you go), and it has been making me HOWL. I just keep yelling, "What? WHAT?" at the radio and then breaking into maniacal laughter. It's a good thing that I travel mostly quiet roads. (The reader is doing a decent job, though he has a habit of giving characters accents and then dropping them, but I'm not really complaining -- as far as I'm concerned, those volunteers are Doing God's Work.)
Anyway, I've got a couple of videos for you. The first is family and work-friendly, the second IS REALLY, REALLY NOT. Both are awesome.
Family and work-friendly:

REALLY, REALLY NOT:
| Fuck Me, Ray Bradbury | UCBcomedy.com |
| Watch more comedy videos from the twisted minds of the UCB Theatre at UCBcomedy.com | |

I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT RAY SAID.
That is all.

I was hoping you had run across the Fuck Me, Ray Bradbury video, as I had forgotten that you're like one of the few folks I know who would find it hysterical. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet though, my child is too much in parroting mode right now.

Those are great. I'd love to see that silent film treatment done with "Wrath of Khaaaaaan!"
And somebody's GOT to show that other one to Ray Bradbury...

It's funny that people are wondering what Ray Bradbury said about...his tribute...because while I was watching it I was thinking of Julie Powell cooking her way through Julia Child's cookbook and blogging about it. She's oh, so into Julia, and when Child found out about the whole thing she was so underwhelmed.

Well, I was going to go onto his site and give him this link ... but, in poking around, found that his wife had died. It just didn't feel right.

Hee, that Silent Star Wars thing is great. I especially love the Vader Theme played on piano.

David: According to QRANK*, he's seen it twice and "likes it". Sad news about his wife -- I hadn't heard that.
*To which I have developed a possibly unhealty addiction.
