So, last year’s VW Darth Vader ad was a crazy success. What was the plan for this year? A fat dog. While the fat dog who gets back in shape was very cool… Surprise StarWars ending! Oops. Hope I didn’t give that away.

And for good measure, the making-of video.

Now, is it just me, or do the actors playing those two guys (the smoking guy and Dr. What’s-His-Name (“I’m a wanted on eight systems.”) look a lot like they did back in the 1970′s? Great job!

I’ve been sitting on this video for a few days. I don’t know why, there’s a previously un-heard George Harrison guitar solo hidden in the Here Comes The Sun master tapes. If for some reason you don’t want to watch/listen to the whole thing, it probably won’t matter to you that the lost Beatles guitar solo can be found at the one minute mark of this video. Probably because you won’t even know that it’s not the original. In which case, why are you even here?

Gosh, I sounded nasty up there, didn’t I? My appologies.

I stumbled across the Star Wars Uncut project a couple years ago, then forgot all about it. Well, it’s alive and well and there’s some fantastic stuff being made for it, including Malcolm Sutherland’s great animated bits.

So, while you should go and watch the entirety of Star Wars Uncut, I heartily recommend that you spend some time at Malcolm’s site and check out his videos. I really dig his style and wanted to share a couple highlights here.

Some of his Star Wars Uncut stuff…

The Astronomer’s Dream trailer…

Seriously, how could I not share this recipe? It would be a crime to not share it. C’mon, Bacon Candy!

I noticed this morning that there was a snowflake button on the YouTube video viewer this morning. It appears to be on videos that don’t show advertisements. Click it, and let it snow! Below is an image of one of my Unfriendly Giant cartoons. It’s just an image so that when summer rolls around and YouTube removes the snow button you can see that it was there. Click the image to go to the video and then click the snowflake to see what happens. Merry Christmas!
