Star Wars Uncut “The Escape” from Casey Pugh.

I’m not the biggest Star Wars fan but both those nerds I do the podcast with certainly are. They turned me on to this extremely clever and funny collaborative idea for a low budget re-imagining of the epic film. Here’s the simple plan:

“The entire movie is split up into 15 second scenes. Claim a scene, film it, and upload it! When it’s all done, it’ll be stitched together so we can watch the magic happen.”

Love the flying sandwich, the fat Han Solos and the ladder scene. Nice work everyone, you should be proud of this technological terror you’ve constructed.

Word Nerds: Which geeked-out continuity editor has the better job Cheryl Klein or Leland Chee? If knowing which Jedi were still alive during the Clone Wars and the best directions to Dagobah, then you’ll probably want Chee’s sweet gig. If you are incensed that Marcus Flint, who is the Slytherin Quidditch captain in books one and two, appears again in book three even though he should have graduated, then Klein is your gal.

Looks Promising: Wow, I actually like every single person in this film: Role Models. It’s also nice to see a new comedy that doesn’t have “Judd Apatow” as a writer, director, producer, actor or key grip for once (we all need a break, you too Seth Rogen).  Role Models is the work of Paul Rudd and David Wain and as expected, it’s full of some of our favorite “Wet Hot American Summer” campers plus the future star, Bobb’e J. Thompson. View Trailer:
