Battlestar Galactica retold in 16-bit RPG format

If there’s one problem with Battlestar Galactica being so good, it’s that long after you’re done watching the last episode, you’ll happily lap up any opportunities to discuss, relive, regurgitate or consume the remnant breadcrumbs of BSG. 

This video is brilliant if you’ve completed the series (see: reference to “in-spaceship debates as a form of resolution” once the special effects budget has been depleted). If you haven’t, you’re in for spoilers galore.

Best bit: When Colonel Tigh levels up and evolves his character.

Go watch!

The Avengers Trailer (Sweded)

There’s something ineffably charming about well-executed Sweded videos. Sweded videos in and of itself seems to imply a high-level of awareness of poor production values and hilariously low-cost.

And yet, when someone decides to pull off “shitty homemade video” with an extravagant dose of (low-cost) panache, you can’t help but feel that it deserves an Asgardian-tavern ale toast and a hearty slap on the back. 

Particularly for the impressive Thor performance and Black Widow’s red hankerchief “wig”. 

Juxtapose: Original Trailer

Weird 60’s cover of the day:

Korean Kittens - “Can’t Buy Me Love”

Kevin Prince Boateng, you are my hero. Not just cos you dropped some sick MJ dance moves, but cos you managed to make Milan’s championship celebrations seem so convincingly un-Italian.

Also, spot Pippo Inzaghi totally digging that shit. 

Archer Season 2 highlight: why Rona Thorne is, ahem, amazing. 

LEGO Siege Tank: remote controlled and fully functioning. Switches between siege/tank mode. Excuse me while I subdue my LEGO envy by dousing my head with hot water. 

How Lost should have ended: Frank LaPidus gets his five minutes of fame/plot significance. Would’ve still been better than that purgatory shtick. 

Doves - “The Man Who Told Everything” 

Get out of bed
Come out and sing
Blue skies ahead
The man who told everything

Ahoy!

It’s the teaser trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides. It might just be me but it feels like the POTC franchise has overstayed its welcome so much so that all the endearing qualities about Jack Sparrow have been replaced by indifference and muted yawns. They really should’ve stopped after part 2, no?

Featuring Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, Penélope Cruz, Ian McShane, Keith Richards (yes please) and a bunch of semi-naked mermaids. Oh, and zombies too. What’s next - a friggin’ pirate glee club?

Coming to a mildly sweat-scented GSC theatre near you in May 20, 2011.

I’ve spent a long time scouring the net trying to get hold of Noah & The Whale’s ‘First Days Of Spring’ movie to no avail. Turns out, it was on Vimeo all along. Gah.

For what it’s worth, it’s a nice to have pleasant-looking imagery accompany a music score that’s essentially the album playlist from start to end (right down to song order). Lots of washed out colors, lush landscapes juxtaposed against hipsters looking sad, smoking lots of cigarettes and fiddling around with hipster items like typewriters, aviator goggles and bicycles. 

It’s described as a film about life, death and loss but we all know it’s probably just an artistic middle finger to Laura Marling (the ex-bandmate and ex-girlfriend that inspired the whole album).

45 minutes long, supposedly shot in 8 days on a meagre budget and a carton of Marlboros. Go on, press play and watch it like the dirty hipster you are!
