It did not scare me.

^ Not even Lumpy. Wow you're made of stronger stuff than me;-)

Like something out of a 90s straight-to-video horror film about a Teddy bear possesed by a serial killer.

No, it's a quote from North Norfolk's premier Digital disc Jockey, Alan Partridge. He mentioned on his radio show that he rates Geoff Love's version of Abba's 'Knowing me, knowing you' over the original.

He also said that...

"Wings were the band The Beatles could have been"

There's a documentary about his life coming out soon

^ "Recorded by the Jeff Love Orchestra, which I have to say, in my opinion is superior in essence to the actual original"

Some more I found by other people...

^ Thunderstruck

^ Love the simplicity of this one

^ Just wow...

^ Obvious really

Big fan of the Mozfather. Had to...

^ There is a Lightsaber that never goes out

Thanks for the acid flashbacks!

Fear and Loathing in The Star Wars Holiday Special (A TM2YC FanEdit)
 

 
I was scanning through the SW holiday special (Never watched it properly before 'cause I couldn’t stand it) for my Workprint project and noticed that some of it comes off like a terifying acid-trip nightmare.I decided to make a mad rambling mix of the most disturbing shots and sounds of this notrious disaster.  It’s quite short, a little funny, a little scary and a lot crazy.

Here it is space cadets, in all it’s incomprehensible glory…

(^ Click on the image to go to the video on Vimeo)
 

^ It’s about 15 minutes (Not including intro and credits) of only the most baffling footage from the SWHS. I suggest pouring yourself beer* (Or something stronger or stranger), turning off the lights and taking a voyage into Director Steve Binder’s “Vision” of family entertainment. A vision so trippy and demented that even George Lucas couldn’t top it when he came to make his Prequels (God knows he tried!).

I have not…

• Added any sound or visuals (Outside of the opening titles and credit music)
• Added any slow-mo
• Adjust colours
• Re-dubbed any audio
• Or applied any visual FX
  … i.e. if it looks crazy here, it looked crazy when it was first broadcast on an unsuspecting public in november 1978.
   

Obviously the visual quality is limited by the VHS source material of this never-commercialy-released car-crash TV show.

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE FUN WATCHING IT!

(* I laughed my ass off watching this back with a mug of Ale last night 😄).

Ich bin sehr zufrieden damit, wie es stellte sich heraus ...

^ Wir sind die Sturmtruppen!

And another...

^ Art imitating art imitating art imitating art imitating art imitating life.

I suspect you have to be from the US to get the 'Rube Goldberg' reference. I've never heard the name, pehaps something like 'Raoul Silva' or another movie reference.

^ It's an old gag but all the best ones are...

I'm on a roll today...

^ First album I ever bought.

Another LP I did...

^ In the name of the Father and the force Ghost

I did another couple of quick LP mashups...

^ Higher than the twin suns of Tatooine.

^ Kessel Run? Go your own way.

Did a quick one...

^ Nice work. Wonder what the emiter was made out of. Looks kinda like the tray out of a printer sprayed black with a Casio watch glued to it.

Lets slightly expand the topic to include LP cover mashups. As I've spotted a few good ones and I've also done this spoof for a FanEdit I'm planning...

^ Requires no editing lol

I did another cover...

Good clips but very low-res. Don't want too much low quality stuff

Downloaded that version of the Holiday Special. Quite decent quality thanks.

Anybody noticed that Chewbacca's house has got a modern flat-screen TV in the kitchen? It looks exactly like something you'd buy in the shops now! (Even got HDMI ports down the side). Easy to miss as you are probably concentrating not on the TV, but on the actual TV program featuring a deranged old drag-queen in blackface telling you how to cook Bantha steaks?!!?!

Were the makers of this program mentally unstable.

I suspect you don't want to go back over the first 70mins but I had an idea to insert a shot from a making of documentary into the mos eisley scene, its probably too harsh a shot to look nice but it would be the zoom shot onto the jawas at around the 12.42 mark in this doc., inserted in place of the still shot of the exterior cantina, right after the cross cut to luke after ben's dialogue "..weak minded".

Great suggestion... think I'll use that Frank.

As for the unusable footage, there are several fairly high quality copies of the Holiday Special available that are better than what you see there (Zion's Hybrid I believe is best).  You can just splice those clips in if you wanted.

I'll give that version a go. Never made it through the Holiday Special. It's so bad that it can't even be enjoyed on an ironic level.

^ The cartoon section is tolerable. Not good as some say but it did give us the brilliant Droids cartoon...

^ Anyody else have the Droids Dairylea VHS? I practically wore that sh*t out.
