In the early days of home video (laser disc, etc.) there was a magazine dedicated to it all and it had a monthly feature in which home disc enthusiasts would hunt and find such stuff and write in to inform which movie and at WHAT TIME point it appears.
I'm sorry I can't recall the name of the magazine, but I do like noticing certain "glitches" in movies, like "boom in shot", or continuity goofs and the like( and set anachronism goof-ups). But I don't obsessively hunt for them.

I saw an overhead mic in "Saturday Night Fever" at my local theatre in 1978. It was near the end where John Travolta was at Stephanie's apartment apologizing for his attempted rape, just when he enters her apartment I told the manager about it, he saw the mic with a bit of amazement and told the projectionist to frame down that scene a bit.
(Back then one can watch a movie as much as one wants during the day)
I didn't went looking for the OCS Freeze Frame homepage shot at first, something just caught my eye during the picture of George Hamilton fading in on the laptop - uh what was that I thought. Movie in on Youtube 1:01:58 time frame

Thanks. That full screen switch did help, but the whole thing seems so inconsequential that probably a very few really noticed or cared. (like me....)

I think noticing such is fun like the subliminal advertising for the CGI company... OCS Freeze Frame / Pixel Magic in "Casper Meets Wendy" (1998) whom also did the SPX's in the movie. That one was only 1 frame of film. (before fading out)
Now how many noticed this?

Back in the early 60's we had a slot car raceway in town. I took the body of my actual slot car and mounted a model of the above car on it. Got attention but was really slow.
You might like this.
You probably couldn't go very fast to begin with because of the Munster Koach high center of gravity.

Brainstorm (1983 -- via Filmstruck) -- review originally posted at another site.
A very mixed offering. I had heard about about this film, how could one familiar with Natalie Wood not know about this one?, but unfortunately the plot is very, very thin and as such the film comes across more as a series of images than an actual film. I watched it really for Natalie. Her role is not large, but in her final work, she's still beautiful, still touching, very graceful. It's hard to fathom that she died before filming ended. Christopher Walken is good, and Louise Fletcher makes the strongest impression in the cast. What really puts the film up to this rating though are the visuals. There are some astonishing images in this film, and it seems like a major oversight that it was not nominated for Visual Effects at the Oscars that year.Tip, when you copy and paste "rich text", click on Paste as plain text, and it will come out like this.

My wife loves this one, so we watch it regularly with our other "traditional" Christmas movie viewings. I'm not that crazy about it myself, but...fair is fair....
BTW--- Tried catching what you're talking about on your provided clip. Never noticed anything out of sorts. What exactly am I supposed to notice?
Sepiatone
May want to go Youtube full screen, its the megaphone on the mayor's car. You can see it move by itself because one of the animators accidentally bumped against it.
Zoomed in on the right
Detail of car with megaphone on top.

There is one more Baby Peggy movie "Helen's Babies" (1924). Got mine from a different source about 8 years ago.

"Peg O' The Mounted" (1924) Baby Peggy short on TCM Silent Sunday Nights. Added it to another short I recorded last year "Such As Life" (1924). This may be the only way her lost films may still be found, by foreign sources.

I already have these 2 Baby Peggy movies on VHS (copied to DVD) I purchased in 2002. I take a quick view for comparison during commercial breaks. The music don't hold a candle to the Jack Hardy (Grapevine) versions.
Man that is a BIG bear called Grandfather in "Mega Monsters - Beast of Fear Island" on the Science Channel. 7 feet high on all fours, 13 when standing.

Happy 100 Diana Serra Cary (Baby Peggy)!
Have all her surviving films and one short (hoping to add one tonight).

I have the original single disc version with bonus selections.
There is a newer 2 disc Special Edition available.

Bah. Ulp. No.
Me, I never liked that program; never could tolerate more than a few minutes of it. Felt it was lame. Same reaction to 'South Park', 'Seinfeld', 'Beavis & Butthead', 'Lost', Gray's Anatomy, Dexter, CSI, The Wire, Breaking Bad, Sopranos, 3rd Rock from the Sun, Big Bang, Bachelor, Kardashians, Will & Grace, Family Guy, King of Queens, King of the Hill, Futurama,....pretty much name all these so-called 'hot' show and I disliked it. Despise TV programming. Every time I happen to view one of them accidentally (at someone's house or whatever), they seem incredibly pointless and irrelevant; garish; gaudy; improbable and contrived; unconvincing; poorly-written and poorly-acted.
One I like that was cancelled is "Drawn Together"
My favorite episode "Clum Babies" where Bob the cucumber (Veggie Tales spoof) turned psychotic.

I been meaning to mention this, in "The Nightmare Before Christmas" one of the animators accidentally bumped against the mayor's hearse-like car moving the megaphone slightly. In the behind the scenes story on DVD, one of the animators discussed such errors, if notable enough the scene has to be reshot. I noticed this myself, wasn't mentioned in documentary.
On the right 4-5 second time mark.

If so, most chances are that your YouTube channel has been hacked. ... It's important to note thatYouTube uses Google's account, so if your YouTube has been hacked it is most likely that the hacker has access to all of your other Google services, such as Gmail, Google+ and more.

I visited Dean's grave a few years ago. No lipstick marks, the stone was clean.
I hope so, lipstick that's permanent?

Yes -- at least the print on Kanopy was subtitled.
Thanks, appears the only English subtitled DVD is from South Korea.

Nowhere in Africa (2001)
Splendid German film (Oscar winner for Best Foreign Film) about a Jewish family who flees to Kenya in 1938, to escape the Nazis. Based on a true story, the plot involves the marginal nature of the Jewish characters in a radically different foreign land, and how they come to terms with the change and even come to love aspects of it. The most heartbreaking aspects of the film involve the arrival of letters from Germany, announcing the imprisonment or death of loved ones who chose to stay. The little girl says, "When a letter comes with that stamp on it, it brings tears."
There is excellent acting from the European and African cast. Source: Kanopy.
Is the movie English subtitled yet? Learned about it a couple of years ago while researching the music composer Niki Reiser who did the score for "Heidi" (2015)

I have never felt comfortable discussing someone's children or personal matters in a public setting. Its really not my business. I have no opinion of Wagner because I haven't met him and don't pay attention to tabloids. I like the movies he's in and leave it at that.
If his children are having personal problems, its not for me to blurt them all over social media. Those children didn't ask for the spotlight unless they themselves are actors. We all have families and we all have relatives/friends who have personal problems. Calling someone out like that isn't classy at all.
What Wagner does with a grave is meaningless to me. Natalie is gone. Her films can live forever. I'd rather focus on that.
