Video Round-Up: January 14, 2015


"Your deepest fantasies meet your favorite fantasy game."

Welcome to The Geek Art Gallery's daily Video Round-Up, in which we collect the geekiest videos from around the web each day for your enjoyment.  Why slog through page after page of kitten and baby videos to find what you're looking for on video aggregators when you can cut straight to the chase here?  Comedy sketches, countdowns, movie parodies, nerdy music, science in action, and supercuts - we've got it all!






"Welcome to Earthling Cinema, where we examine the last remaining artifacts of a once-proud culture and try to understand what human lives were like before the galactic civil war that destroyed their planet. I'm your host, Garyx Wormuloid."


"These characters really, really know how to steal a scene. Join WatchMojo.com as they count down their picks for the top 10 epic movie entrances."



The geniuses over at 8-Bit Cinema have decided to finally give the people what they want! It's Guardians of the Galaxy depicted as if it were an 8-bit game from the Nintendo era. It's got everything from the chip-tune music to the perfect pixel representations of every character. It's sure to leave you wondering why this isn’t a real thing? Heck, there’s even a side scrolling space shooter stage. Doesn’t get much more retro awesome than that.
"CineFix presents Guardians of the Galaxy retold via old-school 8-bit (OK, 16-Bit - but still Old School!) game tech. No quarters or controllers required!"


"You've Simmed a city, a tower, an earth, and an ant. Now, EA and Maxis let you simulate the least interesting subject yet - you! The Sims.

"Get ready to cower in terror as you relive David Fincher's married-people version of Fatal Attraction: Gone Girl."



The music of Richard Strauss and Stanley Kubrick‘s 2001: A Space Odyssey are all but inseparable at this point, as the fanfare from Strauss’ composition ‘Also sprach Zarathustra’ became the unforgettable sonic accompaniment to the opening of Kubrick’s film. But the movie was originally going to be scored by Alex North. In fact, North composed an entire score for the film, which Kubrick ultimately discarded. If you haven’t seen it before, below you can watch a clip of the opening featuring the original 2001 score by Alex North score intact.
"Although [North] and I went over the picture very carefully, and he listened to these temporary tracks and agreed that they worked fine and would serve as a guide to the musical objectives of each sequence he, nevertheless, wrote and recorded a score which could not have been more alien to the music we had listened to, and much more serious than that, a score which, in my opinion, was completely inadequate for the film."
