Friday Movie Morning : Great Star Wars Mashups!

Maybe I should just start a star wars blog?

Ok ok, this video is called snatch wars (teehee) 

Mash up between Star Wars and Snatch. REALLY well done and kind of hilarious: 

For a more instant gratification, here's a short mash up that's not as good but still kind of hilarious! 

Hahahahah...I REALLY LOVE THE INTERNET:


and finally...i kind of like this too. A lot of great dubbing. Not every time but a lot of it:

America and political correctness are becoming synonymous

Friday Movie Morning Time! (sort of)

As far as advertising is concerned, that statement is very very true. Americans are afraid of nudity, taboo, innuendo and even anything that can be taken the wrong way. Oh yeah, and anything that can be considered inappropriate for children (by the way, by the time the average U.S. child starts elementary school he or she will have seen 8,000 murders and 100,00 acts of violence on TV.)

We have an economic shit storm happening outside yet somehow everyone and their mother knows and has time to get offended by a certain "special olympics" comment (I must admit, I got offended too- I bowl 100 and it's celebrations all around so you better celebrate that 129 mister!)

Aaaanyway. These are some commercials from around the world that wouldn't be shown in the good ol' US.  (sorry for the grainy quality....youtube is not my friend when it comes to crispness): 

The Axe Effect:

HILARIOUS commercial for washrooms:


Polish commercial (at the end is says "Time to find your own place?)  :


Spanish Bic Commercial:


This one is REALLY grainy but pretty damn good:

Friday Movie Morning with Voltaire

Aurelio Voltaire Hernández, aka Voltaire (whose song video I featured Monday) is not just a musician. He's also a director, stop-motion specialist, author and professor at SVA! 

Here are a few examples of his stop-motion work: 

I love this style. Transrexia (the second video) reminds me a bit of Clash of the Titans, which really is not surprising considering Sinbad was Voltaire's initial inspiration to start doing what he does. At the tender age of eight. I wish I had the patience to do stop motion because the results can really be beautiful. I am, however, so happy that the art hasn't been put to the grave yet (this year's Coraline was beautiful beyond words and I highly recommend it...which is saying a lot because I was expecting to hate it going in). 

Voltaire has also done a lot of spots for channels like SciFi, Cartoon Network and TLC:

Hmm.. sensing a theme here...

And finally here is Voltaire's song and video for Happy Birthday (my olde friend):  

I must say that his voice reminds me of a certain skeleton king's. Can you guess to whom I'm referring?

Friday Movie Morning!

Can you talk forward? 

Haha this video is kind of cute. It's called George Lucas in Love. I'm sure most of you have seen this already but I just found it. Enjoy XD 

Friday Movie Morning!

Happy Friday! Cartoon time!

This is a really adorable cartoon entitled Oktapodi. It's about Octopi in love and it's very endrearing and very well done.

Perhaps I'm in a french mood because here is another French cartoon. Although this one has words, it also has subtitles. I really really love the animation style. Plus the main character is great!

And the last of the day is also French. A short animation about a young french man that goes to the army and his adventures there. French always sounds a little inhuman to me...but sort of in the way angels are inhuman. I just cannot wrap my head around how they make the sounds they do. Anyway! Enjoy and have a great friday!

Friday Movie Morning

It's was only a matter of time until I put this up...even though no one's going to watch it all the way through, I just feel better having this up. 

This morning's video's are the three parts of a documentary about Timothy Leary: The Man Who Turned On America. Basically, he gave LSD to the people in the 60's. Even thought I've never done LSD, the whole history of how LSD came about to be and what it became and how it basically defined a generation fascinates me so I give you guys this.

It's pretty insightful with lots of interviews from people that were actually there and pretty much goes through his entire life time.

Have a good friday!

Friday Movie Morning

It's cartoon morning today!

I found this animation a while ago and have always always loved it! Terrifically done and really engaging. Just over two and a half minutes long, this animated short is really really terrific.

I wish this next video was better quality. It's called 'Samurai Versus'. Super cute. A little predictable and reminiscent of Spy vs. Spy but definitely worth the watch!

Aaaaand last but not least, here's this short little gem. Under two minutes but very funny and, as also seems to be the theme of today, ridiculously adorable. The little robots are at least. 

Have a great friday!
