The Force Awakens - Fan Teaser Trailers

/

On November 28, 2014, the official trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released in theaters all across the United States. Did I say the official trailer?? Wrong… What I meant to say was the official "teaser" trailer was released. We still have to wait for the official trailer(s) to be released. 

Disney, Lucasfilm, and J.J. Abrams are working hard to keep us all in the dark on the newest installment of the Star Wars saga. I love the suspense!! 

I was a boy of 12 back in 1977 when the original Star Wars was released. That was back before it was Star Wars: A New Hope. That was back before anyone knew what to expect. That was back before Jar Jar Binks and Sith Lords with unlimited power…lol

I walked out of the theater that night different from how I walked in. I did not know how or why, but I knew, somehow, everything had changed. I was not alone. Star Wars became a creative spark for a whole generation. It is an inspiration for many today.

Do not believe me?? Watch the official Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser trailer above. Then… Pull your droids close, polish your lightsaber (or blaster), and enjoy the fan created parodies and mashups presented below.

This will be a day long remembered…

Have A Very Zombie Christmas!!

/

Christmas is upon us, but… Are you ready for a Zombie Apocalypse during the Holiday Season? I doubt it. I know I'm not. That's why I wrote this post and why you owe it to yourself and your loved ones to watch this video by the girl of Team Unicorn.

With the above public service announcement and information in mind, it is time to get prepared. Begin by putting together a bug-out-bag with all the necessary supplies to avoid being bitten or eaten during the Holiday Season. Don't worry if your bug-out-bag is lacking a few items. The good folks at Guns.com have your back with their Holiday Gift Guide for Zombie Fans.

Here is hoping you can survive until the next Holiday Season and remember the following:

  • Zombies can only be brought down by a bullet or blow to the head.
  • You will eventually run out of bullets. So, have a good blade at your side and at the ready.

The Slingshot Channel

If you have not seen Joerg Sprave from The SlingShot Channel on YouTube, do yourself a favor and checkout his videos and web site. Joerg and the folks involved with his projects are crazy insane (in a good way) and uber creative.

What do Joerg and his team do, you ask? They do anything and everything that can be done with rubber powered projectile launchers and weapons. From everyday slingshots to rapid fire slingshots to a slingshot canon, Joerg and his team design, build, and demonstrate some of the most outrageous and original inventions of rubber powered destruction I have ever seen.

Warning... Be sure you have ample time to spend before you start watching Joerg's videos. They are addictive. You will be watching for a while. 

Enjoy!!

More Noir Than Noir

/

This remix of the Blade Runner movie trailer, by Chet Desmond, is a superb example of creativity and vision. Blade Runner is Ridley Scott's film adaption of Philip K. Dick's classic science fiction novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Released in 1982 and shot in a modern film noir style, this trailer is a full-on film noir experience with dialog from the movie and music from the soundtrack.

To springboard off of Dr. Eldon Tyrell's moto for the Tyrell Corporation, this movie trailer is... More noir than noir. Not sure of the reference? This is your que to watch this classic film and then read the book it is based on. Time very well spent.

Enjoy!!
