STARLORDS

I'm not normally one for posting too many outside links; but there are those rarities for which it would be a crime against the very essence of my geekhood not to do so.  I'd have to hand in my card.

STARLORDS is one such.

Try to imagine, for a moment, the awesome juxtaposition of two of the very pinnacles of modern-day geekishness: Star Wars and Lord of the Rings.  How exactly do you combine the two in such a way for the human brain to come close to accepting the possibility?

You set the whole thing to a six and a half minute disco dance video, that's how.

I suggest downloading the very last file on the bottom right of the website.  It's a 25 MB Windows Media file and the smaller of the Windows options.

It starts out almost normal-ish, but things get weird when Yoda starts spinnin' the vinyl.

That was crazy. Gollum and Luke had the best dance moves, and the synchronization with the music was the best for that part. That takes a lot of grueling effort at the computer (at least until I learn better how to use Adobe Premiere Elements).

I liked the blending of the two films, visually, but as I was watching, I couldn't help thinking how vastly superior LOTR is to Star Wars. Great source material is hard to beat, and then Jackson lucked out enough to get a huge budget and three epic films. Lucas' writing, on the other hand... oy vey! That's some weak stuff.

Still and all, I'm a big Star Wars fan. It's just that the two speak to vastly different areas of my brain.

Have a nice weekend, Si-mahn.

wow, simon, you only got one comment. i wonder why?

[marian]

two. three, that is.

[marian]

four. you know i love you, right?

[marian]

sorry, five. a very large mexican beer is to blame.

[Simon]

Marian, I am giggling like a little school girl right now. More at the thought of a mature woman trying to blame a Mexican beer for something than a sudden inundation of comments by that same woman.

[marian]

honey, i'm old, but i'm not mature.

[Simon]

Yeah, well, I'm still giggling. It's degenerated to a chortle by this point, but you get my drift.

[rick]

She may not be mature, but she's not all that old, either.

Hey Simon.

That video rocked. I Loved it!! Gosh, who knew Yoda could scratch. To think, all those deaths and ruined lives when a horrible interglatic war could have been solved by a simple break dancing challange.

Thanks for the link. Your geek card is safe.

ROTFLOL I was just going to tell "Geogirl" about this link! Seems like she's already a lurker here :>)

OT, so you have to wait for one more game to celebrate, eh?! Go Oilers :>)

My grandson, Poopy and I watched the video and howled. Thanks for that.
Marian, you're funny. I'm old and immature too. It's cool to be like us...
Nice new picture of you and Tav, Simon :-)
