Video Monday

Holy copyright infringement, Batman! It’s Turkish Star Wars (Complete with ripped-off ANH footage, and keeping with that theme, I think I saw an old-school Cylon as well.) Also on Youtube, a very painful training scene And there’s a sequel! More information on the films at Cinematical, with more video at iFilm. (Video via Bonnie)

Songvid alert! Captain Jack is bringing the sexy back. Aspect ratio is off, but I don’t care.

Futurama returns! It’s in ur house, drinking ur beers.

Remember the Vector Prime commercial? Ha ha.

G4’s X-Play hits Star Wars again with an Imperial Press conference and the Rebel shopping network.

Filk Friday

Wednesday was Denis Lawson‘s birthday (yay, Wedge!), so to honor everyone’s favorite GFFA supporting character, this week’s featured filk is an excerpt from the stage extravaganza Star Wars: Musical Edition. Set just after the Rebel briefing in Return of the Jedi, Wedge’s Lament is a heartfelt tribute to the friends Wedge has seen come and go as the only non-main character to survive all three movies, and a hope that he will lose no more friends by helping to end the war.

In other filk news, “Weird Al” Yankovic’s new album released on Tuesday. The video for his new tune “Weasel Stomping Day” was produced by Seth Green and his cohorts over at Robot Chicken and aired on this week’s episode.

What is the melting point of a gorilla’s head?

Weird Al’s ‘White and Nerdy’ video has been sweeping the internet lately. (We first blogged it last week.) But I know you yearn for more, and thanks to CJ’s Phil, we have links!

First, the frightfully extensive Wikipedia entry for the single. Miss a reference? It’s probably here.

Then, the White & Nerdy quiz. Do you make the cut? I, sadly, am only 44% nerdy. (It’s because I suck at math.)

And finally, the MySpace profile featured in the video. It is not, thankfully, pimped out.
