Just a toss-off for today. Been pumping out all that weekend booze with extra exercise.
Heh heh... I don't remember these as a kid.
(Originally from this site)
Did you know we just passed the 30th anniversary of the release of Star Wars?
That stuff used to mean a lot to me. Still does a bit. But not so much.
...
A few quick relevant flicks to pass some time.
First, one just to show how a simple editing job (no computer enhancements or even added sounds) can still make me chuckle.
(What a dick!)
But then, of course, there's Robot Chicken. And those boys KNOW their Star Wars!
(That's... very unlikely)
(BTW, that's Mark Hamill - he does tons of Robot Chicken)
(I love you, too)
And the George Lucas Approved "Star Wars: Robot Chicken" (Airing on Adult Swim, June 17th). THIS I'm looking forward to...
And finally, if you can spare 13 minutes and low-budget 1970s movie making... The classic sci-fi spoof "Hardware Wars"
(I can't understand you. Are you talking to me?):
Yah... you think that's a long drawn-out trailer spoof? Low production values?
Well take a look at this. It's the real thing from 1977:
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Cripes! And people got excited by this? Man were we lame in the 70s or what?
For the post
above this line:
Come on! in the 70's this was GOOD STUFF!
Just cause it looks cheesy now is not important!
Can you imagine what it would have looked like if they were it do it now?
To be fair, everybody at 20th Century Fox thought the thing was going to tank -- big time. It was a surprise to them that we all flocked to see it in 1977 (Though, in my case, I kept making my father take me to the bathroom -- I didn't really feel the love until Empire (then it I became a Star Wars slave (Until the Ewoks killed it again)).
Annnnnnnnnnyway -- The Robot Chicken Cloud-City scene is my favorite of all time.
Star Wars + Robot Chicken = Cheesy Goodness.
GREAT post! And all I did was write up a silly little post about going to see Star Wars with my dad.
We watched Hardware Wars until it wore out.
Okay, have you seen Closet Encounters Of The Nerd Kind? By the same people and I've never been able to find it.
Oh, geez I forgot that Luke Starbucker drove what looks like Speed Buggy! Hahahaha.
Okay, it's called Closet Cases Of The Nerd Kind and I found it!
It's posted on my blog. :)
I love Robot Chicken
