Return of the Jedi Set Footage of the Day

Back in 1982, a group of young Star Wars fans trekked into the California desert to crash the outdoor set of Return of the Jedi, and this seven-minute video of scenes from the Sail Barge, featuring Luke Skywalker, R2-D2, Slave Leia and Boba Fett, was the result.

Movie Trailer of the Day

Danny Trejo as Epic Beard Man in a movie called Bad Ass that co-stars Charles S. Dutton and Ron Perlman? Good news, guys: Christmas came early this year.

Movie Trailer of the Day

The first official trailer for Illumination Entertainment’s big-screen adaptation of Dr. Seuss’s eco-friendly children’s book, The Lorax.

What’s In A Wes of the Day

Ross Everett, Dave Gullman, Frank Muniz, and Will Goldstein imagine what it might look like if the Wes behind Screamwas Anderson rather than Craven.

Movie Trailer of the Day

First official trailer for Jesse Peretz’s Sundace-screened dramedy Our Idiot Brother.

Feast For The Senses of the Day

Can you think of a better way to start the day than with a brand new slice of fried magic from dice-master Pogo? His latest, “Wishery,” chops up Disney’s Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs into fine slivers of scrumptious whimsy.

Mashup of the Day

Brazilian post-production-enthusiast Leandro Braga spent 13 days watching nearly every film directed by Messrs. Quentin Tarantino and Joel and Ethan Coen. He then selected 500 stand-out scenes and mashed them up into a fine powder.

The result? Something rather wonderful and tripy, rather like a visit to a Brasilian casino while on mushrooms.
