OK, taking on Star Wars: Episode 1 is like killing trade droids with a lightsaber: no challenge at all. What is a challenge is doing a 70 minute complete deconstruction of the movie, completely eviscerating it from both a critical and emotional standpoint, and making it completely hilarious in the process. Plus, there’s random digressions, a completely bizarre narrator, and a startling basement scene that you won’t see in an Ebert review. Well worth watching: the first part embedded here, the other 6 parts linked after the jump.

A pivotal scene in the Matrix, recreated in stop-motion with Legos.

Inq. of the Week: Video Formats?
We seem to be at an interesting crossroads when it comes to movies and video formats, with Blu-ray beating out HD DVD I assumed everything would transition over pretty quickly but it still seems that regular DVDs are the primary format for people watching movies at home.
YouTube Tuesday: We Were Googled Edition
Because I’m so excited that it’s finally been released to the public, I present to you “Googled”, a short film based on one of my short stories that previously appeared in the Welter literary journal. Even though I wrote it, I still get chills at the end. I hope you enjoy it.
YouTube Tuesday: Obi-Wan Uncensored Edition
NSFW language. Real quick but great.
YouTube Tuesday: What Would Gordon Freeman Do? Edition
What happens when video game characters come to life, giant sized, and terrorize the city (and in particular, a group of video game fans)? You get Cloverbrawl, this 20 minute film that is amazingly made and combines horror and comedy. Part 1 up top, Part 2 below the fold. (via Offworld)
YouTube Tuesday: I Am Super Lucky Golden Iron Man Edition
Test animation for an Iron Man anime, the final of which is to be written by Warren Ellis. Below, a similar test animation for the Wolverine anime, also to be written by Ellis, but that doesn’t look nearly as good.
YouTube of the Week: Hey! Edition
Pretty self-explanatory. (via @betterwithmayo)
