Friday Morning Video Club: Star Wars, Watchmen, Rage

Apparently there’s an annual Star Wars Fan Movie Challenge, and George Lucas himself picks one of the winners. Like amateur Star Wars parodies since time immemorial, this one is … sort of funny. It’s probably funnier if you’ve seen Juno. Which I haven’t.


Next up, the Watchmen trailer. I know you’ve already seen it. But like Flanders, you don’t have one from me!

I just fall more deeply, dangerously in love with this trailer every time I watch it. I think the entry point for me is when Billy Crudup is transforming into Dr. Manhattan. He’s spasming, he’s convulsing…but he doesn’t drop his cigarette. (The first time I saw this I thought, wow, they got the doctor from Serenity to play Dr. Manhattan! You have to admit there’s a resemblance.)

And straight from the Jolt-slick floor of QuakeCon, a new trailer for id’s Rage. I have definite id fanboy leanings, so even a shaky-cam version of this makes for quality viewing in my book. But it may not in your book.

p.s. my book is right

p.p.s. the hammer is my penis
