What If the Star Wars Prequels Were Good?
Some of you have probably seen these videos before, but I’ve been wanting to share them, because they’re a lot of fun. Basically, a rather creative chap named Michael at Belated Media has re-imagined the Star Wars prequels into a better, more entertaining movie trilogy. He keeps the same characters, general plot and themes, but does a much better job with the storytelling. He’s backed up by some great artwork by Jackie Whisler.
These are just one guy’s ideas, but creativity respects creativity.
I especially like what he has planned for Uncle Owen and Darth Maul. That’s some good thinking right there.

A Short Film About a Girl Who Loves Hockey
It’s genius in its simplicity. A certain Internet mastermind, Jordan Hanzon, has edited the Pixar movie Inside Out to remove all the ‘inside’ parts that deal with Riley’s emotions. What’s left is a touching story about a girl struggling with moving to a new town. It’s just plain neat.
It’s such a simple but brilliant idea. I’m glad someone thought of it, though I wish it were me. I need to become Internet famous in 2016…

It’s a Zombie Nazi Sort of Day!
I didn’t expect today to be a Zombie Nazi sort of day, it just kind of happened. I found this video of a LEGO Captain America mini-movie (Captain America 3, apparently), and it’s all about LEGO Cap fighting off a bunch of LEGO Zombie Nazis! It’s awesomely animated, gory as hell and has a sweet ending!
All kudos to Forrest Fire for the excellent video. Their LEGO animation skills are the bomb diggity! Be sure to watch all the way to the end!
And while we’re on the topic of Zombie Nazis (quite different from Nazi zombies), I’d also like to introduce you to one of the funniest songs ever! This is from Rob Zombie’s movie The Haunted World of El Superbeasto, which is a pretty terrible movie, but which has a pretty hilarious Zombie Nazi song about a third of the way in. It’s probably NSFW due to the cussin’.
Only good part of that movie. I just saved you a couple of painful hours.

A Pretty Amazing Miles Morales Fan Film
If the major studios won’t bring Miles Morales to live action, the great geeks of the world will do it for them!
Solid work by Bard Tales Productions! The acting is stellar, the special effects are outstanding and the whole thing comes together quite nicely. This is what the Internet was made for.

Of Course Emma Stone Should Play Spider-Gwen
Though she’s probably too old for that new kid they hired to play Spider-Man, Emma Stone is the obvious choice for fan favorite character Spider-Gwen. And not just because she was the best Gwen Stacy on the big screen (Remember that there have been two?).
Major props to Vulture Studios and New York Magazine for putting this video together. It’s well-edited, looks pretty nifty and really shows deft of craft. Plus Emma Stone is pretty awesome, so giving her more attention is always a plus!
