All Things Patrick - Working Hard to be Lazy!

Granted this has been out for a couple weeks now (literally), but I figured it was time to post my support for it. Normally I may watch fan made stuff, but a lot of it I really don't find all that exciting. However, this is an exception. I've not told much of anyone about any of the fan made stuff I've seen since I came across Maboroshi Studios' stuff back in 2000 or 2001 - 4 or 5 different videos, each matched clips from a single anime to some music (e.g. Record of Loddoss War to John Williams: Duel of the Fates, Escaflowne to Megadeth: Sweating Bullets, Nausicca of the Valley of Wind to Legend: Loved by the Sun).

WormyTV posted a Thundercats: Sword of Omens trailer on YouTube that is absolutely amazing. Even if you absolutely hated Thundercats growing up you should get a kick out of this video. It has clips from other movies and tv series that have been photoshopped to look like Thundercats... Here's a list:

• Lion-O: Brad Pitt (Achilles from Troy) [Mel Gibson is also given credit, but I don't recall any clips with him being Lion-O, maybe audio?]
• Panthro: Vin Diesel (Riddick from both Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick)
• Tygra: Hugh Jackman (Wolverine from X2:X-men United and X-men:The Last Stand)
• Cheetara: Gigi Edgley (Chiana from Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars)
• WilyKat: Daryl Sabara (Juni Cortez from Spykids)
• WilyKit: Alexa Vega (Carmen Cortez from Spykids)
• Snarf: Garfield (Garfield from Garfield)
• Jaga: Robert Eddison (the Grail Knight from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade)
• Mummra: Richard Cetrone (from Underworld)

Movies (and a TV Mini-series) that are credit are:

• 10,000BC
• Masters of the Universe
• Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
• Lord of The Rings: Return of the King
• Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars
• Pitch Black
• Chronicles of Riddick
• X2:X-men United
• X-men:The Last Stand
• Troy
• Star Trek6: The undiscovered Country
• Space Hunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone
• Stargate
• Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie
• Garfield
• Enemy Mine
• Spykids
• Underworld
• The Mummy
• The Mummy Returns
• Galaxy Quest
• John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars
• Planet of the Apes
• Aliens
• Mortal Kombat: Annihilation
• Reign of Fire
• Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome

I think the timing on everything from audio to video is absolutely fabulous... The actors and clip selection are supurb... And seeing Brad Pitt (as Lion-O) talking to Garfield (as Snarf) is pretty funny... Probably the best footage I liked were the Vin Diesel and Gigi Edgley clips which are barely modified.

The story telling audio (which I'm guessing is a very good version from the tv series) played over the top of the planet explosion, ship burning up entering atmosphere, etc is fabulous.

I could keep going, but I'd just be keeping you from watching the video if you haven't already. I think the only down side to this fan made trailer will be that everybody that watches it will find the real CGI movie due to release in 2010 a big disappointment.
