Amazing Fan Made Lightsaber Duel

Most of the time fan made lightsaber duels are pretty awful, but I think this was a really good effort at a decent lightsaber fight. I really wish they used costumes, but the choreography is very solid and unexpected. Nice job guys.

What If Pixar Went In This Direction?

Toy Story could have messed us all up.

OMG This Is So Random

I seriously can't stop laughing.

Troy + Coheed & Cambria = Awesome

What do you get when you edit Troy, one of the most epic films ever made, to Coheed & Cambria's epic rock symphony Welcome Home? You get awesome.

Sick!

Heath Ledger Fans Want The Joker Retired From Film...Forever

Oh those crazy Dark Knight fans… they’re always up to something. If they’re not busy petitioning for Oscar nominations, they’re trying to get Heath Ledger immortalized as the final version of The Joker ever to grace the screen. Seriously. A group of hardcore Ledger supporters have formed a website called The Ultimate Joker, which is trying to gather signatures to convince Warner Brothers to withdraw The Joker character from any and all future productions. They think no one will ever surpass his performance, and consequently, no one should even try.

“We are Batman fans from the comics and from the movies. After we saw The Dark Knight, we thought this Joker was really the best. It deserves to be withdrawn from any Batman sequels… When Michael Jordan retired, they withdrew the number 23 jersey as an honor. It’s the same thing with Heath.”

I really doubt anyone would even want to step into Ledger’s shoes in the immediate future, but there have been rumours that The Joker might crop up in a sequel to The Dark Knight, or also in David Goyer’s Super Max, a movie about a prison break from a facility that holds DC’s most famous supervillains. Either way, I don’t see this as a good enough reason to permanently retire The Joker. How would someone else playing the character take away from Ledger’s performance? It wouldn’t. And why close to the door to the possibility, no matter how remote, that someone could actually do a better job? Movies aren’t like sports. Ultimately there are no finite winners and losers, just a lot of people’s opinions on them.

If This Was the Real Trailer I Would Have Waited for the DVD

What if movie trailers were more honest? Playdohfactoryworker created a new trailer for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull which is a much more accurate representation of the film. I have this theory that most of the bad parts of Crystal Skull were ideas that George Lucas demanded be included, and Spielberg relented under the condition that the marketing for the film would reveal very little of the film’s plot. I’m pretty sure that Spielberg realized the audiences wouldn’t react positively to the alien elements in particular. Why does Lucas hate us so much, what did we ever do to him?

Fan Film: Escape From City 17

Inspired by the Half-Life 2, David and Ian Purchase created a short film titled Escape from City 17, which chronicles the escape from City 17 by some members of the citizens resistance. The commercial directing duo filmed guerrilla style with no money, no time, no crew, and no script. When they weren’t shooting they were hiding from security patrols in between takes. The spec project ballooned into a multipart series, and the first two episodes were made from beginning to end on a budget of only $500. The short was sent to Valve, who in result flew The Purchase Brothers out to their Seattle headquarters last year. The second episode is nearing completion

Funny Is Funny

If there is any film I would dare poke fun it's the Watchmen, but this vid that's been floating around the web and well it's kinda funny.

Star Wars: Retold (by someone who hasnt seen it)

Most everyone I know has seen the original Star Wars trilogy, but there is always a person who has only seen it in bits and pieces over the years and doesn’t quite understand the big picture. Joe Nicolosi recorded his friend Amanda as she retells the story from the tiny amount that she has seen or heard about with rather hilarious results. Nicolosi explains to the Official Star Wars blog:

“Amanda seemed very confident in her knowledge of the Star Wars saga despite never having watched any of the Star Wars films. That was the first good sign. When we sat down to watch them, she started telling me what she thought the plots were going to be, so I told her to hold steady while I went to get my voice recorder.”

Don’t want to wear out those DVDs

Twilight: The Puppet Saga

If you read my review for Twilight you would know that I pretty much hated it, but I found this online and thought this video was so very perfect. If you haven't seen Twilight you might not get everything, but watching this will save from the torture of having to sit through it.

Wall-E

I saw Wall-E back when it was in theaters, and anyone who knows me knows I couldn't say enough about it. Now it's on DVD and Wall-E is a definate buy. There is no doubt in my mind that Wall-E is going to be nominated for and Oscar. Unfortunately I can't explain the story without giving it away, it's just one of those movie where the story is unconventional. I will say that this is the best animated film I have ever seen. Pixar has really outdone themselves this time. Pick up Wall-E, that's all I'm going to say.

one luv, Toinne
