I hate to get all indie rock on your ass, but isn't it kind of lame that everybody is going apeshit over Sweding when the whole meme was invented by the marketing team for Be Kind Rewind to get people interested in the movie? I'm not saying Be Kind Rewind was a bad movie, nor that the spirit behind Sweding is bad either. I like the idea of people making cardboard light cycles to parody Tron, or making fun of Predator with an all-female cast like the Swede I've got for you right here. And I think it's great that people are figuring out that it isn't some kind of crime against copyright to create silly versions of their favorite movies. But every time I see a new Sweded flick, I feel like the person doing it is just advertising Michel Gondry's flick rather than making a new cool thing. More »

Be Kind Rewind, Michel Gondry's new movie, is a thematic sequel to his best film, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. In Eternal Sunshine, a mysterious brain-editing machine can erase your memories of a shitty relationship, leaving you free to reinvent yourself. In Be Kind Rewind, Jack Black gets magnetized and then erases a whole store full of videotapes, allowing him and Mos Def to reinvent those stories. The only difference is, Be Kind is a slapstick comedy. And it's about 10,000 times more sentimental. Spoilers await! More »

By now you've probably seen a few commercials for Michel Gondry's Be Kind Rewind, where Jack Black accidentally magnetizes the movies in buddy Mos Def's store.

However, now the director himself has gone and "sweded" the trailer for the film on his own (with Swedish actors), opening up a meta-reference that might cause the universe to implode. Check out the video above, but just hold onto something in case a freak wormhole opens up near you. More »

(The son being the dictator.) Turns out celebrated indie comic book writer Daniel Clowes ("Ghost World") is writing the screenplay, and it may be based on Rudy Rucker's novel Master of Space and Time. [Slashfilm] More »
