Movie Geek: A Star Wars "What if"

A Little vulgar but still very cool. i'm all for a re-write.

Music Geek: New Flight of the Conchords

It has been three long years since Flight of the Conchords graced our television sets on Sunday nights with oblivious, self-deprecating pop songs, but now Brett and Jemaine have finally reunited to rally behind a good cause. In support of Cure Kids, a New Zealand-based charity that researches childhood illness, the pop duo has released a one-off single, “Feel Inside (And Stuff Like That).”

Check out the extended video above, which features a typical band meeting with Murray, and watch as Brett and Jemaine interview kids for their thoughts on how to fundraise for sick children and then cobble together an entire charity song from their ideas at the end. It’s adorable, and potentially even economically viable. And if the video puts you in the giving spirit, you can find out more information here, at the Cure Kids’ website.

New Hobbit sneak preview release

Oh, hey, another production video from Peter Jackson on the set of The Hobbit was released this weekend, with more shots of the spectacular locations and a look at the logistics of shipping massive amounts of equipment and people to remote areas. You get lots of looks at a village and folks in costume. And the Prime Minister of New Zealand drops by, too. And livestock. Lots of livestock. It’s pretty interesting to see how they create Middle Earth out of rolling countryside.
