Wonderfully entertaining, kitschy trailer.
For more stuff quite like this, check out Channel 101 and its New York sister site, Channel 102.
For an example of how brilliant zero-budget filmmaking can be, check out their winner for this month's contest: House of Cosbys.
If you don't laugh at this, you're probably Bill Cosby. And even then.... well, just click.
Cool!
But I just hope in Terry Gilliam to find the budget to start Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman's "Good Omens"!
Wouldn't that be great?

Along with the standard computer warranty agreement which said that if the machine 1) didn't work, 2) didn't do what the expensive advertisement said, 3) electrocuted the immediate neighbourhood, 4) and in fact failed entirely to be inside the expensive box when you opened it, this was expressly, absolutely, implicitly and in no event the fault or responsibility of the manufacturer, that the purchaser should consider himself lucky to be allowed to give his money to the manufacturer, and that any attempt to treat what had just been paid for as the purchaser's own property would result in the attentions of serious men with menacing briefcases and very thin watches.
