WoW Moviewatch: The Future Soon

As you probably have heard, BlizzCon is only a month or so away. With the machinima contest becoming a bigger and bigger event at the Anaheim gathering every year, WoW Moviewatch is going to periodically feature the victors of BlizzCons-past. We want everyone ready to be the very best peanut gallery we can possibly be. One of the best ways to do this prep-work, of course, it to take a look at some of the videos that have impressed BlizzCon judges already.
The Future Soon by Spiffworld was first posted on WoW.com in August 2007. It's one of the (many) Jonathan Coulton videos we've seen over the years. Spiffworld definitely does a great job of bringing the music to "life." That's a skill he's continued to display as recently as a few months ago, with the Coulton song Shop Vac. The Future Soon picked up a runner-up award in the Action/Adventure Category in 2008.

Personally I liked RE: Your Brains better

Philistine! This is my personal favorite. And clearly my taste is better than yours. I had it measured, objectively.
(But really anything from Jonathan Coulton (and Spiff) is solid gold. And neither one of those videos tops First of May for sheer mouth-gapingness.)

I like this video, but like Het Irv said, RE: Your Brains is better, and IMO Betty and Me is funnier.

Afterall, what CAN you do when a crazy cyborg wants you for his wife!?!?!

The song "The Presidents" by Jonathan Coulton is amusing.
The first entry from the search "the presidents coulton" is good. Watch it.

Another classic Coulton and Spiff vid.

I like creepy doll and Betty and me better, but this one is still pretty good.

Second favorite of the spiffworld videos. Best one though is "Tom Cruise Crazy" which he did back in March. It's full of belves though so folks might froth at the mouth. >_> Except he makes horrible fun of them and Tom Cruise so it might be okay.
