assorted observations and collected inspirations.

In Star Wars Uncut, fans re-made the movie 15 seconds at a time, and the result is a pure joy to behold. So many styles, creative methods, and hilarious, heartwarming interpretations. It’s like the whole nerdy internet Sweded one of my favorite movies and it’s glorious.

Don’t know if I’ll sit down and watch the whole thing at once, but I’ll gladly return occasionally to watch a few scenes and smile. And to think, governments want to block things like this from being possible.

Okay, this is cool, because hey, it’s a pretty impressive replication of the Tron world… in a church lobby. And I’m down with the whole exploration of spirituality through pop culture as a means to make people think about their lives.

Then again, can you imagine how much this costs? And how much money a church has to bring in to make this an acceptable outlay? And how much more ‘good’ they could be doing instead?

Good marketing, questionable ends.

Quote

Dave Revsine offers this explanation for his excessive quoting. The entire table nods in agreement, although nobody can explain what they mean by it! (Now, that’s humor.) Revsine gives it a try, but at the first sign of trouble says, “You know, it’s like in the movie ‘City Slickers,’ when Billy Crystal’s character says he and his dad had nothing to talk about until they talked about baseball.” In other words, he is relying on a movie scene to explain himself. Point taken.
— Was looking for any kind of explanation for the pervasiveness of movie quoting among guys. Though several years old and not quantitative or scientific, I still thought this summary raised most of the right points. (via ESPN)
