rewind kindly!

If y'all have a chance, you might head over to Filmmaking Frenzy and check out some of the brilliant entries into Alamo Drafthouse's "Rewind Kindly" contest. The low-tech special effects are frickin' INSPIRED. I've not watched them all yet, but favorites include Blade Runner, Die Hard, Speed, The Princess Bride, Terminator 2, Tron, and the completely awesometastic Beastmaster. I LOVE THEM ALL.

LOL, that's pretty good.
Like, funny and painful at the same time.
I like that everyone is wearing long underwear in the Tron remake. Everyone has a little illuminated pee flap!
The Terminator one was pretty great too. The Mouth metal opening music and then the hand signal he gives at the end instead of the thumbs up. Awesome.

I think my favorite effect is from the Blade Runner swede. The city shot, and the quick 'fwoo!' of a grill lighter. It's so PURE. Though the tinfoil shotgun-wounds from T2 are a close second.

I dunno, I really enjoyed the self aware bad acting in T2 as opposed to the just . . BAD acting in Blade runner.

Ha, but that guy's Rutger Hauer voice is AWESOME!

If you awesome you mean . . the worst ever?
Then yes. Totally awesome.
