Swede yourself! - 30th September, 2008
09.30.08 (8:36 am)   [edit]

Pretensions knows that the movie Be Kind, Rewind, starring Jack Black, Danny Glover and Mia Farrow was shown ages ago, near the beginning of this year. However, she recently discovered the show's Sweding site which is still a lot of fun - view a sweded version of Google and swede yourself onto various video covers!

For the uninitiated, the film's premise has Mos Def working as a video store rental attendant, when his friend (Jack Black) comes in and accidentally erases all the tapes with his magnetised body (long story, watch the film). Mos and his friends then embark on a project to remake all the movies in the store, using an old VHS camcorder, bad acting and cheesy effects. The resulting movies were described as being from Sweden, hence the term Sweded.

Sweded movies have now taken off somewhat and a number of fans have been producing their own versions of hot movie scenes. Check out the Jurassic Park and Aliens videos below - the effects make the '60s USS Enterprise look state-of-the-art and the overacting is pretty hilarious.

For more sweded movies, check out www.swededmovies.org, swededcinema.com and swededfilms.com. Check out the Lord of the Rings sweded edition here too - it's great!
