Monty Python and The Matrix LEGO
Senor-D writes "Shigeyuki Sandou, a LEGO minifig creator from japan, has built multiple scenes from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" using LEGO minifigures. it can be found here in English or here in Japanese. He also did scenes from "The Matrix", they can be found here."
Japanese movie special effects have come so far since the Toho Films days (Godzilla, Rodan et. al), haven't they?
Compared to them, these are absolutely stellar. Two thumbs up!

It's karmic payback for what we did to Godzilla when we did an American remake...

I'm thinking more along the lines of what Cartoon Network got the Lego company to do in constructing a life-size version of Scooby Doo out of Lego bricks. Plus, the jokes in the commercials didn't hurt.
"Guys, I don't think that's the right kind of brown." Lego technicians then look up, after laying the Scooby Doo groundwork of what seems like 1,000 bricks. "Some kid is going to be lucky. Really lucky." The guy who's designing the dog looks down into his coffee cup. Obviously he doesn't want to give away a creation that's taken them weeks to build.

...there are no black leggo-people! Hence no Morpheus.
Of course, there are no white leggo-people either. They're all yellow, which we might take for Asian, except that...let's face it, Asians aren't really yellow.
So I guess that means that leggo people are actually humanoid aliens. I guess that explains all their advanced space travel technology.
I think with all the heads and torsos they have for Legoland figs(there's even one of a thong: black waist/crotch & skin colored legs), I could probably make Lego CounterStrike skins in a few minutes.
Take a look at this:

This is quite unlike the Star Wars Lego project that was posted last week. Rather than building scenes out of legos, this artist mostly uses pre-built pieces to lay out suggestive tableus. Which is not to say it isn't a creative or amusing re-interpretation, but it's not such a show of mad devotion and arete. I am, however, reminded of the Screenshots project that depicted historical scenes in a Sims-like CG style...

I thought the Japanese would say, "Tlinity"
No. The r sound in Japanese is somewhere between an L and an R. Words taken from English that have an L or R sound get translated into the same "letter" in Japanese, one of the following syllables: ra, ri, ru, re, ro, rya, ryu, ryo.
(pronounce the consonants like they are in spanish, "a" is English short A, "i" is long E, "u" is long U, "e" is long A, "o" is long O. ah, ee, oo (as in "too"), eh, oh. A consonant can be one of the vowels by itself, or it can have a consonant in from of it: ka-ki-ku-ke-ko. ta-chi-tsu-te-to (as you can see, some consonants have irregular pronunciations). Some consonants can have a "y"-consonant blended into it, rya, ryu, ryo, kya, kyu, kyo, etc. "n" can be a consonant by itself after a regular syllable. Also, some consonants are doubled. And vowels can be made twice as long. to-o-kyo-o (in hiragana, a long o is indicated with a U, other vowels by adding that vowel. in katakana, you can indicate a long vowel with a straight line.) So what can we conclude from this?
Trinity in japanese is probably something like "TO RI N I TI" but the RI could sound somelike like "LI", it is 4 syllables long, and is written with 5 characters. The usual romanization of "ri" is with an R instead of an L.
Thank you.

The Matrix title lego...
The one with the four guys in it...
That would explain how the guy on goatse.cx got the way he did, wouldn't it?

Feh, this guy's in larval stage. The really l33t Japanese model otakus mold their creations in metal or plastic, and then paint them. For real.

The wooden grail image was conjured by protestants - namely Lutherans - since it fits their belief that humility, regardless of position, is virtuous.
:)
The catholic image of the grail is generally more lavish, being made of gold and encrusted with gems and all.
So, yeah, it's kind of offtopic, but the grail's material isn't actually known

There is no lego! You take the blue lego and the story ends. You wake in your lego castle and you believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill and you stay in Legoland and I show you how deep the legos connect.

Speaking of which... I didn't check out the Star Wars Lego project the first time around, and it appears that the URL has changed (poor guy probably got kicked off his previous hosting after the beating /. gave their servers...). I tracked it down by backing up a directory.. the english version appears to be now available at

One little comma, and a simile becomes a metaphor (as spoken by a valley girl).
Information wants to be anthropomorphized.
Although what can be done with a dozen or so pirates, a female diver, a Napoleonic soldier, a polieman, two coyboys, a red-indian with head-dress and a ghost?
Except reform the Village People, of course!
There is also a dobermann pardoy. I had no idea that this movie was know to anyone outside of France.
A nice piece of parody, mixed with delightfull stupididities and cliches. A Comics on screen. Loved it.
