Colin Hanks makes a convincing Jimmy Stewart, minus the whole murderous rage punch thing.

(Warning: Video has mild violence and language.)

In a special edition of the weekly live action YouTube comic "Puddin' Strip," Hanks plays Stewart's George Bailey in a send up of a climactic scene in the Christmas classic "It's a Wonderful Life." Set in an office lunch room -- like all the Puddin' Strip videos -- Hanks-as-Bailey argues for the office's workers to rise up against the corrupt Mr. Potter, who is trying to purchase the Savings and Loan building in town.

Among those listening are Patton Oswalt and Weird Al Yankovic, though the action is driven by a particularly shrill woman who needs some cash, quick. Her incessant yelping doesn't really end up working out in her favor, unfortunately.

This is definitely a 21st century take on an old favorite.

"Weird Al" Yankovic says that Sony Music Entertainment owes him to the tune of $5 million.

In a lawsuit filed Friday in U.S. District Court in New York, the "Eat It" musical parodist claims that Sony has shortchanged him on royalties with a variety of improper accounting practices. He is seeking a judgment somewhere north of $5 million.

The suit, which was filed by Yankovic's company Ear Booker Enterprises, claims breach of contract and breach of the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing, and makes numerous claims against Sony.

According to the suit, Ear Booker first informed Sony that its accounting was off with a March 2010 audit report, after which Sony responded with a rebuttal "falsely claiming that Sony had overpaid Ear Booker $80,231 during the periods audited."

According to the suit, Sony "has incorrectly reported to Ear Booker the quantity of products sold, has incorrectly categorized those products, and has incorrectly paid Ear Booker for products for which it has accounted."

Among the alleged dirty dealings on Sony's part: Double-charging Ear Booker for advance royalty payments, miscategorizing marketing costs as production costs that can be recouped, charging for expenses that it hasn't provided documentation for, miscategorizing commercial videos as promotional videos that can be recouped against, and reporting negative streaming royalties on the tune "Don't Download This Song" -- something that the suit claims is an impossibility.

In addition to seeking more than $5 million in damages to be determined by a jury trial, Yankovic is seeking interest, attorneys' fees and court costs, and an order for Sony to provide a full accounting.
