Apple Store - Fifth Avenue
Apple is posting time-lapse videos of the first 24 hours outside their new NYC store. Respect is due to the person in that 5am video who uses the camera to propose marriage!

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

Is nothing sacred?
The (rather poorly-received) movie version of trippy 70's on-before-the-BBC-evening-news French animation, The Magic Roundabout, has been re-dubbed for America.
