Kaboom!

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in five seconds…



And the first three films being dealt with (in five seconds as well) by ThatGuyWithTheGlasses:

Lookalikes (4)

Similarly:



I love this series!


Hey, someone just had the same idea as me!




Haha, I loved Fievel's cartoons.






(This is the gargoyle from Ghostbusters.)


Brilliant finding!


I'm not the only one thinking that.


So, Darth Ratzi is the lookalike of both Uncle Fester and Palpatine?

HPHBP

A new trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has been released:



Although the trailer announces "THIS YEAR", the movie is to be released on 17 July 2009.

Lookalikes (3)

Our lookalikes tour continues! Let's start with some stars bearing an uncanny resemblance with dictators:


Brilliant.






Yet another (quasi) dictator…


Scary!


Take that, ugly old fascist!




Actually, it was (our "extremely diplomatic" minister) Karel De Gucht who suggested that first…


Perfect!


"Wicked!" (as Ron said in Harry Potter)


Always posing for the photographs…


ROFLOL


Wall-E really plagiarised our beloved Johnny Five!


Bravo!


Now I truly realise why I found Alf so weird: he had a combover just like Donald Trump!


Obvious.

A very topical lookalike indeed.

Haha!

And because I'm never tired of telling you that pope Darth Ratzi is evil:

The Pope is the monarch of the kingdom of Vatican (which is essentially his palace and his backyard) and over the minds of his horde of catholic followers, who are gullible enough to put a old senile pensioner on the throne.

Becoming pope

In 1939, Ben was in the Nazi German SS. And so, one day, while walking through the Warsaw, suddenly a filthy Polish beggar grabbed his leg begging for some money. Benny naturally pulled out his Walther to do some point-blank target practice, but suddenly heard a voice from the sky: "Don't kill this beggar!” Ignoring the voice, he aimed again, but the voice repeated: "Don't kill this beggar!" Annoyed, he aimed again and this time the voice said: "Don't kill this beggar - he will be a Pope one day". This time Benny did some thinking and finally returned the pistol to the belt grumbling - "OK, but only if I am to be the pope after him.”

"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" Trailer

Yup, it's finally been released about a dozen of days ago, and I completely forgot to check it out. Now that it's done, please have a look at it as well and enjoy it.



Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is scheduled for release in November, apparently.

PS. I started reading the last book yesterday.

Harry Potter is the Dark Knight

Some funny stuff, as usual: someone edited clips from the first Harry Potter movie so that they correspond to the Dark Knight second trailer:



Another try, but with fragments from all the HP movies:



I prefer this one, though:



A bonus: a Harry Potter version of the Indiana Jones 4 trailer:

Movie posters

The official poster for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has just been released, so have a look at this great piece of artwork by Drew Struzan—who also made the Star Wars posters, but also those for Harry Potter and the Back to the Future trilogy, among others.


(This picture was retrieved on TheRaider.net.)

By the way, a Frenchman compared the French and the American trailer of the movie, and noticed a dozen of differences due to the censorship of the MPAA. Unbelievable and outrageous! "Big Brother is watching you", it seems. Just a bunch of hypocrits.

Indiana Jones 4 : Comparaison des teasers
envoyé par Rialeb

Talking about movie posters, here are two parodies that I found on Uncyclopedia (where else?):

This one is a spoof on the Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones poster. The following replaces, respectively, Leonardo DiCaprio by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Tom Hanks by George Bush, a parody of Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can.

Starry Potter and the Philosopher Hope

Before starting (well, in fact, this is already the start…), I signal that this blog entry is (again) only suitable to people who have already seen Star Wars. Those who haven't not only need to get cultivated and watch them asap, but shouldn't waste their time watching and reading what follows, because otherwise they'd understand nothing at all.

First, if you did see Star Wars, it might be interesting to watch the original trailer of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (released in 2001).



Great music by John Williams. And very good film, though I prefered the third and fifth films in the Harry Potter franchise. Now let's watch this video showing clips from Star Wars to correspond the trailer's text:



Brilliant montage — just like what I featured the other day, namely the crossover between The Departed and Star Wars.

The line I like most is that of Snape (Alan Rickman), but here "said" by Emperor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid)… "Mr Potter……… our…… new……… celebrity."

And whenever I'll watch Episode IV, I'll always have that "Troooooooooooll in the dungeon!!" quote in mind…

"Not all wizards are good…" --> It reminds me of that crossover between the dialogue Vader/Luke from Empire Strikes Back scene and the confrontation Voldemort/Harry in The Goblet of Fire, which I featured several months ago.



If you know both Star Wars and Harry Potter, admit this is great!

Christmas Week: Miscellaneous

I'm sorry to say that it's the sixth and last instalment of the Christmas Week on this blog. I hope you enjoyed the videos I had favourited on YouTube; next year I'll do the same — but with different videos, of course!

Here are some goodies that I had forgotten in my favourites:

The song "It feels like Christmas" (from "The Muppet Christmas Carol") applied to Harry Potter…



And, if we follow the same logic, Severus Snape is Ebenezer Scrooge! Watch this video. (Embedding was disabled.)

And oh yeah, I forgot this one: Batman's Christmas Carol, Panique au village style!!!!



Brilliant!

PS. I posted the account of the first day of our trip to Amsterdam.

Celebrity Deathmatch

I discovered this show during the summer, while I was watching TV at the seaside. The match I feature today opposes Stephen King to J.K. Rowling. Enjoy!



Maybe I'll post some more fights in the future…

Brokeback… to the Future

The other day, J.K. Rowling stated that the character of Professor Dumbledore was in fact gay. I don't know what she decided to mention that—it's going to give strenghten the anger of those who criticize the books for being anti-christian (even if there are lots of Christian elements in the them, like Christmas celebrations…). So then, Dumbledore is gay, but if we take a closer look on the films, there might be several other "gay" characters:



Remus and Sirius too:



Well, it's just silly. But this shows you how you can make a totally different film just by putting the pieces in another order.

As long as we're in the middle of a series of Brokeback Montain related parodies, I was also stunned by this secret relationship in Back to the Future:



Brilliant montage!

In the Lord of the Rings, too:



Lloyd and Harry from Dumb and Dumber:

What If The Simpsons Had Magic Skills?

Tomorrow I'm gonna go and see "The Simpsons Movie" at the cinema. So I decided to show you this sketch, which was part of a "Horror Show" (the episode that's broadcast on Halloween).



Silly, wasn't it? I like it because of the monster. And other puns like: "Head Zepplin!"

Harry Potter V: Order of the Phoenix — Official Long Version Trailer

Finally, we can get rid of the short trailer and watch this brand-new one till the film release on 7th July (07/07/07).



Yes, for once, the video doesn't come from YouTube.

Harry Potter is Luke and Voldemort is Vader???

When things get mixed up – and in this case Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire with voices from Star Wars – Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back – you get little gems like this:
