Does George Lucas Suck?

If you didn’t already catch it this weekend, this is the 2-hour director’s cut of Star Wars: Uncut , the 15-seconds-at-a-time fan sourced (each fan was responsible for making a different 15-second scene) Star Wars: A New Hope remake . Now I didn’t have time to watch the whole thing this morning , but from what I gathered a lot more scenes were shot in people’s garages than I remember from the original. Granted I can’t say I’m surprised. Get it? I’ve never seen the original! Hit the jump for two hours of Star Wars on zero budget. Bonus points if you manage to watch the whole thing at work. Suck it, the man!

Homemade: Fan-Sourced Star Wars Reboot Finished

Yesterday’s colorful-yet-gothic poster and this first trailer’s eagerness to boast of coming “from the producer of Alice in Wonderland” really makes it seem like Universal would love for us to believe Snow White and the Huntsman is a fanciful morsel left dangling off Tim Burton’s ass after he crapped out his Lewis Carroll adaptation. And it’s a shame, that, because the actual visuals contained in this trailer are astoundingly better than the studio’s cowardly, Burton-dingleberry scenario imply.

‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ Trailer Somehow Looks Way Better Than You’d Think

This is a Team Fortress 2 themed short entitled ‘Sentry Sabotage’. It is LUH-JIT. I tried to find a screenshot that would do it justice but I failed miserably. Not unlike the mandatory drug test I took for a job at Home Depot. Looks like my lifelong dream of working around power tools might finally be out of reach. *eying Superficial Writer * Haha, WTF am I talking about?! Hit the jump for the VERY worthwhile short.

Super Impressive Team Fortress 2 IRL Movie

Eric Power is an independent filmmaker based in Austin, TX, who is best known for intricate, cut-paper animated short films. He created two such shorts as channel IDs for the Boing Boing in-flight entertainment TV channel on Virgin America Airlines , which you can watch while flying in their planes starting in about a week (channel 10!). I’m a big fan of Eric’s work, and am always amazed at how obsessively, intricately genius his craft is. Eric has a Kickstarter up to raise funds to do his first feature-length animated film in this cut paper style, “ Path of Blood .” Knowing how much time and crazy obsessive effort goes into his creative process, I can only say: I fully support this Kickstarter. And I’m not alone: it is endorsed by Ninja and Yeti as well. The earlier short film version of “Path of Blood” embedded above was mostly silent, but Eric explains the feature film will involve a “large cast of interesting individuals” and “plenty of engaging and bloody action.” The film will also push my cut paper animation to new heights. The level of detail the finished film will showcase is going to be staggering. Everything you’ve seen of my cut paper work so far has only been a precursor to what I feel is possible within the medium and I am very excited to put my skills to the test. Pitch in here , even if it’s only $5! If you have any doubt of this guy’s awesomeness, watch his wonderful vintage-video-game-themed “ Mario on Paper ” short below, which we’ve also featured on the Boing Boing Video Virgin America in-flight channel. What’s not to love? (via Joe Sabia )

Path of Blood: Eric Power raising funds for paper-cut animated feature film

This is The Matrix ‘lobby scene’ with the music and sound effects replaced with those made by some guy’s mouth and a multi-track recording . It’s…something. Something that made me make a strange face while I was watching it. Get it?! I was air-fellating, it was weird! Hit the jump for more PYEWS! than you could shake a raygun at and be all ‘put the money in the bag and nobody gets hurt’.

The Matrix: Now With Acapella Sound Effects

You know that movie ‘ Up ‘ by Pixar? The one about the crotchety old man and chubby boyscout ? Yeah, I haven’t actually seen it (somebody said it’d be too sad for me AND I’M DELICATE LIKE EXPLOSIVE GEL). Well, to promote their upcoming television series ‘How Hard Can It Be?’, National Geographic built a functional replica of the ‘Up’ house to — get this — see how hard it could be. SOFT LOOKS PRETTY SOFT. …March 5 at dawn, National Geographic Channel and a team of scientists, engineers, and two world-class balloon pilots successfully launched a 16′ X 16′ house 18′ tall with 300 8′ colored weather balloons from a private airfield east of Los Angeles, and set a new world record for the largest balloon cluster flight ever attempted. The entire experimental aircraft was more than 10 stories high, reached an altitude of over 10,000 feet, and flew for approximately one hour. The filming of the event, from a private airstrip, will be part of a new National Geographic Channel series called How Hard Can it Be? , which will premiere in fall 2011. MYTHBUSTERS KNOCKOFF. And it only took eight years to come up with the idea! Smooth, National Geographic executives. And by smooth I mean rough, like wiping your ass with a handful of sand and gravel. That said, I’ll still watch it. And not just because I can only stand so much ginger facial hair and berets, but…actually that is mostly why. Plus it’s hard making room on my DVR with so much Real Housewives and Jersey Shore. Hit the jump for several more pictures and a video news report of the I believe I can fly in action.

National Geographic Builds House From ‘Up’, Launches Into The Wild-Blue Yonder

This is a video from the same makers as the ‘If God of War was a Wes Anderson Movie’ and ‘ Inglourious Plummers ‘ flicks. It’s the story of Link and Zelda as told as an 80’s coming of age film ( The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Say Anything , etc.). Admittedly, it was pretty well made and they even roughed up the footage to give it that “holy shit the VCR is eating my tape” feel. WHICH YOU YOUNGER WHIPPER-SNAPPLES CAN’T EVEN APPRECIATE. Also, car windows that aren’t electric . You know how long it took me to perfect a roll-up that would look electric to hot chicks watching from the outside? Forever. Literally, I never got it. I think they all thought I was masturbating. Hit the jump for the worthwhile video. Tingle’s in it, just sayin’!

Note: Video is after the jump for fear of accidentally FATALITY-ING your ass all over the front page. This is a video making its way around the interwebs that appears to be an 8-minute trailer for an upcoming Mortal Kombat movie. BUT THAT AIN’T THE CASE. It’s actually believed to be some viral marketing for a new Mortal Kombat game . But is it? I have no idea. It is incredibly well made though. Plus Reptile eats people’s heads. Sick! Kidding, it’s not any worse than a dog licking it’s own a-hole. *ahem* CHLOE! Gimme kissies. Eight minutes of worthwhile billable time awaits you after the jump. FINISH IT!
