Because we know how crabby you get without your daily mash-up.

The other day when we posted this fun little bit of nonsense in which the characters of Star Trek cavort and dance to the tune of Monty Python’s “Knight of the Round Table” ditty, we were sad and despondent that the video embed from YouTube.com didn’t work. Cursed technology! So, naturally, we’ll try it again and expect a different result. Because we know that you have come to appreciate the Burbanked style of solid, rational thinking.

We wouldn’t so brazenly tempt the Internet Gods of Non-Loading Content if we hadn’t come across yet another well-made bit of trailer-editing-foolery in which The Ten Commandments meets All the Conventions of a Modern-Day Teen Comedy. Fun, well-edited, and absolutely worth the view for the brief - but insanely appropriate - Cameo By the Almighty. Enjoy!

Oh, and by the way - this is Burbanked’s 100th post. Happy Blogbirthday to us!

11.20.2008Dedicated screenwriting 101 here: From an interview with Harrison Ford on the MTV Movies Blog in which the inevitability of another Indiana Jones movie is mentioned:
MTV: Is the ball in George’s court at this point? Ford: It is. That’s the process. With some general input he goes off and searches for the MacGuffin and then stumbles into a story. And at some point we have a chance to take a look at and give some input.
Now granted this is Ford’s opinion of Lucas’ “creative process”, yet still: when one of the three principals of the Indiana Jones legacy classifies the story creation process as a haphazard, one-man effort that only superficially seeks outside input, it’s hard not to feel frustrated. Not surprised, just frustrated. Dear Mr. Spielberg: please put your foot down and either demand a coherent story or walk away. Just do us all a favor, could you? Maybe? (found via FilmDrunk)

11.19.2008Okay, I need your help here. Sonny, Michael Corleone and Tom Hagen keep bringing up the fact that they want to go see Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa.How do I get out of this? I love going to the movies with my boys, opening up their minds to the great pleasures of cinema and all that, but this is a hard one. Please help me: do I suck it up and just go, or can anyone out there provide me with a plausible, kind-hearted, permanent way out? (10)
