Taylor Swift meets TOS:

[Via MetaFilter]

It turns out that combining Nine Inch Nails and Carly Rae Jepsen gives a really strange result.

I honestly can't make my mind up whether this is epic or embarrassing, or possibly just a little from Column A and a little from Column B.

Hit By A Bus* – The Supercut is mesmerising.

I was surprised at how many of these I knew – and about how frequently it happened to characters in Lost.

Also, so good to see Buffy in there; helpfully warning Glory just a tad too late to actually help.

They Might Be Giants' Fingertips meets Star Wars…

… and Buffy…

So, so good.

Ms. Attribution has all sorts of fun melding history and pop culture:

Sun Tzu (544-496 BCE)

Or possibly Warrant Officer Ellen Ripley. I'm always getting them mixed up.

Sounds of Aronofsky. Nice work.

Walt Disney's Taxi Driver. Watch it soon, before it catches the attention of the lawyers whose clients either don't know or don't care about Fair Use.

For some strange reason, reading this list of the five most pathetic female film characters of all time prompted me to watch Buffy vs Edward: Twilight Remixed again.¹

1. I know I've linked to that video before, but it really can't be linked to too often. I really must rewatch Buffy some time soon. ↩

Marty McFly, Bruce Lee, Morpheus and Lt. Frank Drebin (and a few others) are all channeling Lionel Richie: they want to say Hello.

Filmography 2011 is a terrific montage of big moments from the films of 2011.¹

1. Albeit one that serves as a stark reminder of just how little time I've spent inside a cinema this year. Unlike Stu, who appears to have more than compensated for his retreat from the big screen by way of his LOVEFiLM subscription, I'm afraid I'm just getting lazy in my old age. I dread to think how many films I have queued up on my DVR, forlornly waiting for me to give them a couple of hours of my time… ↩

Walt Disney's Sin City: the best trailer mashup I've seen in ages.

Dougal and The Wicker Man might just be the most British¹ mashup video I've seen in a long time. And possibly the weirdest.

Just be sure to watch until 3 minutes in, when it goes from amusing to downright inspired.

1. Yes, I know about Serge Danot's role in the original version, but I choose to regard this as a mashup of the Eric Thompson version of the series. ↩

@Peanutweeter matches images from Peanuts cartoons with text from tweets.

It's sometimes quite funny, but I'm not sure how long it'll last before the estate of Charles M Schulz send a cease-and-desist notice, so if it sounds like something you'd enjoy you might want to follow that link sooner rather than later.

Anatomy of a Mashup.

For the record, I prefer CollegeHumor's Galactic Empire State of Mind to the Jay-Z/Alicia Keys original.

Shaun of the Dead – Done in 60 Seconds (à la Brian Lee O'Malley).

Girl Walk // All Day is the first few minutes of what is intended to be an hour long music video based on Girl Talk's album All Day.

I defy you not to have a huge grin on your face after watching that teaser video.

The Beauty of Pixar: a mashup of scenes from Pixar's films, complete with appropriate musical accompaniment. Nice work – though if it were me, I don't think I'd have inserted the clips from The Shining and Goodfellas.¹

On a personal note, can I just observe that when I read the list of sources used in making that mashup I realised that I've only seen four Pixar films. Four² out of eleven: that's a really pathetic score, isn't it?

Pardon me, I just need to go and surrender my geek credentials until I've done some homework…

1. I see why they made sense in context, but to my mind their presence mostly detracted from the spectacle of all those perfect pixels. ↩
2. Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Finding Nemo and The Incredibles. Though I do have Toy Story 2 on the DVR, waiting for me to get round to it. As it has been since … [checks timestamp on recording ] … July 2010. ↩

Doctor Who Meets Star Wars. Lots of fun bits, some not so much.

• The Doctor wielding a lightsabre? Surely not.¹
• If only they could have segued from Nine permitting Vader to strike him down to a post-regeneration Ten getting to put his "fightin' hand" to good use…
• Nice to see everyone showing up as a force ghost at the end. Except that the Doctor's previous regenerations aren't actually dead, are they?²

If there's got to be a Who-Star Wars crossover, I reckon Darth versus the Daleks would be a much better fit. The Empire and the Dalek Empire would either get on a like a house on fire and proceed to conquer the entire universe, or else they'd annihilate one another so thoroughly that you'd think there'd been another Time War.

1. On the other hand, River Song wielding two lightsabres: I say hell yes! ↩
2. Yes, I know. This is no place for logic. ↩
