Whoops. I just didn't get around to it, folks. So here's some weirdness:
:: Lynn has what is either the greatest T-shirt in history, or the evilest. It's printed with spoilers. Don't believe me? Check it out -- but there may be spoilers there.
:: Pound for pound, the best source for pure strangeness is Warren Ellis, who today has a link to the most appalling idea for a reality-TV show ever. Sooner or later, all Monty Python sketches come true, it seems.
And three bits of video weirdness in honor of Star Wars. First, two of my favorite fan-made parodies: Emperor Palpatine receiving a call from Darth Vader after the Death Star's destruction, and a spoof trailer for Episode III (made before the real Ep. III came out).
After that, here are a couple of actual original theatrical trailers. First, here's how audiences were tempted to see the original Star Wars:
"Lightyears ahead of its time!" "Somewhere in space all this may be happening right now!" Oy.
And then there's The Empire Strikes Back:
Does the voice in the TESB trailer sound familiar to anyone?

Interesting that there are two brief scenes in the Empire trailer that never appear in the final version of the film. Suffice to say that Luke and Leia weren't yet siblings...
I'm not sure about that -- the shot you refer to clearly happens at right about the same spot in the film as the similar shot that did make it into the film.
