So what’s it like for Princess Leia after she got captured by the Stormtroopers at the beginning of “Star Wars”? Well College Humor is doing a series of original shorts that exposes what everyone’s favorite Rebel Princess went through during her captivity. Okay, so they don’t come out and say that it’s Star Wars, but come on, it’s Star Wars.
I’m trying to remember how J.J. Abrams finished up the latest “Star Trek”, but I’m a might foggy this morning kids. Bah, doesn’t matter, it still couldn’t have been better than how the this hilarious animated vid plays out via the guys at How It Should Have Ended. For the sequel J.J., please, less lens flare. Thanks Slashfilm.
Remember “Predator 2″? The sequel to the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie starring Danny Glover (genius casting there, guys) as a supercop taking on the Predators in the big city? Via UGO, here’s an outtake from the movie where the stuntment in the Predator suits get down and boogie. Apparently this was supposed to play during the closing credits, or some such. Later, Danny Glover shows up and gets down with the Predators. It’s all oh so very wrong and yet oh so very right.
Oh, please god, don’t let George see this. This is a wickedly executed A-Team and Star Wars video mashup that is perfectly done and also, perfectly cheesy. If George sees it, I’m certain he’ll feel compelled to be ah, influenced by it.
Normally I’d be reluctant to admit this, but I’ve spent a completely abnormal amount of time considering the probability that Captain Kirk’s desert made diamond cannon in the episode “Arena” would have been more likely to kill the good Captain or simply to have fizzled out. Shortly thereafter of course our scaly friend Mr. Gorn would have eaten Kirk’s face, either in the pieces that were left on the ground or, while still attached to James after the Gorn had finished hunting and skinning him.
I watched it. I laughed. It’s really good. I have no idea why the Goldfish was in the bag, or who left the Goldfish there. What the music had to do with the whole sordid affair I have no idea. All I know is that Chris Jones spent 8 years putting this thing together completely all by himself. He even did the music. That it makes no sense is not really the point. Like I said, it’s really funny and Chris deserves 7 minutes of your time after 8 years of work. So please push play.
That is unless your bride to be is a Jedi or maybe a wookie. Journey to Dagobah, the recreation destination for those that don’t need umbrellas in their drinks or swim up bars for fun and relaxation. In case you’re not sure whether you have the stones or not for the balmy climate and the troubling flora and fauna, check out the video from the Dagobah tourism bureau. It sure made my day. Thanks Topless Robot!
The boys at “South Park” always likes to toss in a big Hollywood movie parody or two in their episodes. Last week they took a swipe at James Cameron’s “Avatar”, and this week it’s Roland Emmerich’s disaster epic “2012″. In the episode, the boys go to the local Splash Town-ish water park, where Cartman gets incense at all the minorities there, while all the peeing in the water results in a massive tsunami of, well, pee destroying the park in a “2012″-ish sequence. It’s all very silly and completely over-the-top ridiculous — you know, like the actual movie.
Besides the big warning, you know, the one where the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar ends, finishing up the whole sordid 5125 year business of walking along as happy bipeds (unless you got sacrificed after losing a football game) on or about Dec 21 or 23 in 2012, those prognosticating Mayans foretold another less widely known disaster, concerning a certain German movie director.
It’s a slow news day kids. I’m sure something momentous and intriguing will come up. Until it does, a funny for your enjoyment. Funny with a message. Thanks i09.
At first glance, the polar regions of the Earth look benign and snowy, full of fluffy bears, well insulated aboriginals or penguins, depending on which end you happen to be stuck in.
One of comedian Patton Oswalt’s most famous riffs is explaining what was wrong with the “Star Wars” prequels. By way of imaginary time travel, here’s Oswalt’s fictional encounter with George Lucas, who has just informed him of his ideas for a “Star Wars” prequels.
John Scalzi is a noted and excellent Sci-Fi author (Old Man’s War) who also writes a rather brilliant and often hilarious column for AMC’s Sci-Fi Scanner blog.
In this week’s edition, John examines Star Trek films and the design mistakes in plot and logic that make the films as wonderful and campy as Sci-Fi should mostly be. Humourless Science Fiction sucks.
After many years of deep denial, Neil Armstrong has finally come to grips with the fact that all those G-Forces, violent shakings and then micro followed by mini gravitational forces he experienced in his various trips off planet were all an epically contrived, many thousands of participants, ruse to flummox the Russians.
