Star Wars Uncut. A bunch of fans split the movie into 15-second chunks and invited people to film their own version, and then stuck them all together.

It is awesome.

[ETA: YouTube link here. So far my favorite bit is the bit where they're all cats ( Read more... )

Item the first: I wish to thank motetus for the Christmas card that arrived in the mail today. I hope you put the art up somewhere eventually because it is awesome. Marcus and Esca are full of awww -- seriously! There are ducklings! -- and the Star Wars art is... memorable. (lysimache thanks you as well, although I am not sure this is what she was expecting Q/O ( Read more... )

Not that I've actually read "The Odyssey," but I can now say that I've spent two hours walking around a giant corn maze in the shape of the Cyclops, with lysimache, her brother, and some of her co-workers. My ankles hurt, but it was worth it. Plus, we won! (The point was to go around the maze, and every so often there would be folders that added to or ( Read more... )

This evening Jen's brother came over and we all went to see the Clone Wars movie. Man. There's an hour and a half of my life I'll never get back. Though, hey, coulda been worse, right ( Read more... )

Look what just came out on DVD! Star Wars Robot Chicken. Even though I am not the biggest SW fan, I recall finding it quite funny. It's way less offensive than I usually find Robot Chicken. We'll have to see if that holds up ( Read more... )

Tonight I accomplished, um, grocery shopping. Mm, food. The grocery store was selling Clarissa Explains It All (eee!) on DVD, and Kinsey, which reminded me that I wanted to rent it. But alas, the Blockbuster next door did not have any copies of it left. So we rented a gay Canadian movie that appears to be about a rentboy, starring Maury Chaykin and ( Read more... )

Before embarking on my Star Wars review, let me just say that what must surely be The Very Best Movie Evar is a movie they showed a trailer for, Stealth. It is about how sentient airplanes replace our fighter jets. And they kill people. And fly into buildings. Because they are evil terrorist sentient airplanes ( Read more... )

Tonight we watched The Empire Strikes Back, which apparently I've never seen. Well, I remember the end of it, but absolutely nothing else sounded familiar. I was trying to figure out which one it was by asking Jen about events in the SW movies that I was fairly sure weren't in the first one -- "Is this the one where they blow up the Death Star ( Read more... )

I have, um, actuallly written 700 words of Star Wars slash. Not that I expect to finish it, because I've never finished any fiction before in my life, but, um, go me. Have rewatched parts of the original Star Wars movie for reference, causing me to say things like "Ack, there go my childhood memories," 'cause, see, I'm slashing it -- well, if I ( Read more... )

lysimache is trying to get me to write Star Wars slash, thanks to an offhand comment I made in AIM the other day about Jedi training in canon. And now I really want to, damn her. I don't get it. I don't write slash. Writing slash is not one of the things I do. I've tried. It's bad. I've tried writing original fiction, for NaNoWriMo, which was a lot of fun ( Read more... )
