Awesome “trailer” for George Lucas Strikes Back:

Behold the “trailer” for George Lucas Strikes Back, which tells the tale of the director’s 20-year imprisonment and the subsequent takeover of his sci-fi franchise by an evil force.

The inspiration for the clip’s premise comes from Korean imprisonment-and-conspiracy film Oldboy, said Mike Litzenberg, who wrote and directed the clip with his Slick Gigolo cohort Bridge Stuart.

Cassini Mission from cabbas on Vimeo.

Filmmaker Chris Abbas created the beautiful short film above, and explains:

I truly enjoy outer space. It’s absolutely amazing that we now have the ability to send instruments out into the void of the universe to observe all sorts of interesting things. Asteroids! Moons! Planets! Dark matter! This is the perfect opportunity for a Carl Sagan quote: “Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." The footage in this little film was captured by the hardworking men and women at NASA with the Cassini Imaging Science System. If you’re interested in learning more about Cassini and the on-going Cassini Solstice Mission, check it out at NASA’s website.

On Saturday, the Washington-based band of brothers, Hays and Ryan Holladay, will release what has been dubbed the world’s first location-aware album — an app designed for smartphones that uses Global Positioning System technology to trigger different swaths of electro-pop based on physical location. Titled “The National Mall,” the app-album can be heard only in Washington by iPhone-toting listeners strolling around the monuments and museums.
