Hamlet in 5 seconds

Not really a 5 second movie, but rather a 5 second play…

Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson) meets William Shakespeare (Hugh Laurie), telling him he's most unsatisfied with the pace of the action in Hamlet



Please also watch this fake trailer for a film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as Hamlet — as he did in a mise en abyme in Last Action Hero.

George Lucas in Love

About ten years ago, a fan of the first Star Wars trilogy decided to make a short film that would depict how the "holy creator", George Lucas, got his inspiration for the different events and characters of his space saga. Please watch George Lucas in Love:


"It's about a young space farmer…"

"Ahhhhhhhh! My hand!"

"Hey George! Check out my new duck: I named it Howard."
The title of this short film is of course a spoof on Shakespeare in Love.

If you're interested to see what Star Wars looks like in German, here's the trailer for Revenge of the Sith:

I believe in America --> One of the best opening lines in the movie history.

That I cannot do. --> My foot!

Bonasera. Bonasera. What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectful?

Be my friend? … Godfather? --> I think he shit his pants…
Second scene: Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) has to go and kill Captain McCluskey, a corrupt policeman, in a restaurant:

Maybe we should ask Statler and Waldorf (I mean the original ones) to comment on that:



A pot-pourri of some of the many comments they made during The Muppet Show:
