What’s going on?

There’s an event that’s taking the Irish blogosphere by storm: The Be Kind, Rewind competition. The prizes are nice and all but most of them aren’t somethings I’d find personally exciting (but that magazine subsciption will be mine, oh yes) especially in comparison to the UK version: Home cinema system and a week in Hollywood- pfft, that doesn’t beat a spot on Popscene and rental vouchers. I’m doing this for the craic anyways plus it gives me something to blog about with updates on my progress.

Terms and conditions:

Rules specify that entries must be shorter than 2 minutes and not include copyrighted material- music can be sung though which will give me a chance to show of my patented rock yodelling skillz. The entries must be recieved by Friday, the 29th of February but I’d like to have mine submitted on the 28th.

What’s the point of this post?

I’m asking for suggestions as to what Irish made or Irish themed movie should I swede. I’m aiming to do it in the medium of Lego but am open to making a fool of myself if needs be. I’ve done stranger things on film before. If there’s a special scene you can point out on YouTube, even better.

In the meantime, here’s every single Irish competition entry so far:

• Angela’s Ashes
• Rawhead Rex

Some good sweded clips for inspiration:

• Die Hard
• Star Wars
• Total Recall
