Fandom - Star Wars Uncut

A little while back I heard about this project and since then I've heard and watched a bunch of clips from various 'filmmakers'. Its basically an indie/home movie version to scenes from Star Wars. The idea was to get hundreds even thousands of fans to remake/refilm a certain scene that reflected the original. Over the course of many months, the organizers have cut a sequence (below) that resembles the original's sequence starting from the lightsabre fight between Darth Vader and Obi Wan Kenobe through to the escape of Millennium Falcon fending off Tie Fighters in the wake of the Death Star. This is the fans version of that sequence. Enjoy!

Internet Gems - Party School Texts

Its everyone's responsibility to share and sharing the internet is amongst the must. I fell across an article on Huffington Post about the Best Party Schools in America. The URL they cited, http://partyschooltexts.com is pretty much what it sounds like - drunk texts only identified by their schools and not by senders. A good thing for the senders I think.

If you're interested in this kind of silliness check out http://failbook.com/, another site that posts sometimes fun (perhaps some unauthentic) facebook wall posts.

Clever photography/graphic design

Every once and a while I'll bump into some smart photography on the web and lately I've bumped into a site that's got some quality photography.

My Modern Met is interesting site reviewing and bring into view cool pictures, architecture, restaurants, etc.

Even though they have some really good fashion and sexy NSFW shots, this one series labelled 'TrustCorp Rebranding Project caught my eye. In most respects, a lot of photography in general is designed to look slick and smooth. Its bound to get, well, boring. When the visual pun is used like when a verbal pun is used in writing, it brings something new and exciting to the table. The pictures are pretty much self explanatory but if you didn't catch it its the rehashing of branding, bringing the blunt truth to what the product does or ultimately what they can make fun of.
