We kind of deserve this

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

Not as much effort

[Fervent]

It doesn't seem to be as much effort to construct these scenes out of already available (and sometimes highly similar) minifigurines as it would be to construct them out of actual lego blocks.

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.

He is the 1x1.

Not so insane...

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...

Re:TORINITY???

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?

If you like this kind of thing...

You should check out Smurf Slaughtertown. It's an epic poem about good smurfs going on an insane killing rampage after finding an ancient artifact!

On second thought, let's not go to Slashdot. It is a silly place.

Re:Legos rule

[Kiss the Blade]

I used to build intelligent cyborgs made entirely from Lego, but they got ambitious and developed a strange philosophy that involved Materialism and the Atomic nature of Matter, and when they had sex it was messy. Plus, they got jealous of my mechano set. So, after a struggle, I disassembled them.

Lego Bullet Time

[Sawbones]

If only Keanu "whoa" Reaves had massive indentations on the bottom of his feet that handily latched onto the floor, bullet time special effects would have been a dime a dozen :)

But now the witch _will_ float!

How will Sir Lancelot figure this one out?

Actually

[Christ-0-Geek]

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 :)

New Matrix Quotes

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.
