By putting the zany, hyper theme music from Hawaii Five-O it adds a jazzed up fun time vibe to the whole galactic war thing. And to be honest, the films that could do with lightening up the most are those first three.
What with all that boring crap that took place in the senate, whaaaaat ever! But zingy music that makes you want to jump about and swing a lightsaber like a marching baton, now you’re talking.
Everything is a remix; you, me, all those films you love. And especially Star Wars. Oh my. After watching this you’ll wonder if there was an original idea in the whole first (fourth, whatever) film.
Old Georgie Porgie was walking around in his long, dark emperor’s cloak rubbing his warm, fat Ewok paws together randomly pointing at various movies in his collection and growling excitedly at every one of them. Stealing that scene from there, this scene from that, lifting that character from this and on and on until he had his movie. Easy. And as for Kill Bill, it’s basically the movie equivalent of a mash-up.
NASA might be able to put a man on the moon, but they haven’t launched a DIY weather balloon full of 200 paper planes into space yet, carrying messages from the world’s populace on hardcore SD Memory Cards, to the edge of the earth’s atmosphere–36,500 metres up–and paper-bombed Germany with them. That’s innovation!
You’ve got to love a fan made film; the geeky detail, the love of the source material to the point of obsession–and this is a good one.
Set in the Half-Life world, they’re managed to crow bar in all the props from the game, like, er, the crow bar and stuff.
While most of us spent the holidays farting turkey, skulling port, and watching the grandparents dribble, this bright young man spent it doing something that will serve him well for the rest of his life.
Well, for however long this video’s popular for anyway. And what great feat did he undertake? Why nothing less than playing the Tetris theme on The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time?. Kudos to this young geek.
If, like this young man, you’ve ever felt the burning desire to transform your mundane human form into the superheroic slendour of Ultra Seven (a Japanese superhero for those not in the know), then the Kinect is for you.
Don’t settle for some cheaply made costume with stomach pads from the local supermarket, instead use the virtual power of augmented reality and even execute his lazer-firing power. Hoooo!
Will you look at this, a video that combines two cool things — video games and street art. They’ve leapt on the zeitgeist, namely Banksy-style stencils and NES nostalgia, and swung it about their heads until it’s flown off into space.
But *serious face* there is something to be learned here. And that is, never stamp on a stranger’s painting or you will be crushed under fist of a giant animated pixel-stencil. Be warned.
Nowt more impressive than shit getting blown up, is there? If your answer was “nope” then you were so wrong. Because there is something more impressive than shit getting blown up. And that’s shit getting blown up in slow-mo.
Not literally shit, that would be pretty gross, but things like an Xbox exploding into fragments to symbolise the death of console gaming or some such semantic craziness. Anyway, kudos to the photographer Dan Saelinger, it’s short but so very, very sweet.
