I knew I'd seen it before, so I just did a search using 'jar jar' instead of 'jar jar binks.' Still, the Possible Duplicates function mostly sucks when submitting videos, so don't feel bad. It's happened to to us all, and usually several times at that. C'est la vie.

Argh! I even did a search for Jar Jar Binks before I posted it and Ant's video didn't show up! I bet this whole sifting thing was a lot easier back in the day

Hmm this thread did not explode into a Matrix discussion as I like to see happen. I guess the time of those movies has long past. Hard to believe the first one is more than ten years old. The Matrix is now older now than Batman 1989 was when The Matrix came out. That blows my mind. Funny, in my opinion, you still don't see effects looking better than they did in Reloaded and Revolutions. The volume and density of the effects in the Zion battle are unbelievable.

I think it's almost criminal the way the first movie could have taken a place alongside Star Wars as the globe's real shared modern mythology of choice. A piece of pop culture so accessible yet profound at the same time, that was successfully designed to give satisfying takes on many different levels. A fucking movie that changed the way people looked at the world around them by having actual ideas behind the fury onscreen. And then they make the sequels and it's like mitichlorians plus Jar Jar Binks to the nth power. Still some awesome shit in the sequels between pure action and the ideas that were so overpackaged. I mean damn were they hard to love with all the nonsense and goofiness (Morpheus' speech, lol).

Some of the video is deliberately jittery. Some people around the internets are commenting about how when the wheelchair guy gets off of the transport, it looks "so fake". Well, that's because the framerate is deliberately choppy. Compare that with other scenes later in the preview where it is silky smooth.

I think people are being overly critical with a video. I've looked at this with 1080p and my limited screens and yes, I would go so far as to say it's "photorealistic". There is a very hard line between what you call "realistic" though -- the alien critters convey some very real emotions and that might be the disconnect for some people. To say this is jar jar binks is almost insulting. Jar jar only conveyed his emotions through physical actions (jumping, hanging his head, etc) where you can actually see easy emotions on these aliens.

This isn't star trek either. Star Trek had the forehead-putty-alien of the week. These aliens are disproportionate, big eyes, foreheads that move, etc. And according to JC, this was all done in real time so the actors could really shine through much like Andy Serkis and Gollum -- but even that performance, he couldn't see his work done live.

And lets talk about James Cameron. He doesn't write the best dialogue in the world sometimes, but his stories are really solid. After Terminator, T2, Aliens, True Lies, The Abyss (his cut)... those are practically geek anthems, often imitated, truly unique.

This is a teaser, don't forget it. I see some true possibilities of continued greatness here. It is definitely not star trek or star wars .. no forehead alien or bland lifeless CGI.

I can't wait until December.

Looks like a full length Jar Jar Binks feature to me...

If there are any siblings, make them kiss each other! Classic SW

They could duel and whoever shoots first, is Han Solo!

"The jar-jar binks award for most annoying kid"!

Do you have a big dog? if you don´t, rent one and have Chewie rides.

I like the vader-choke idea, but add some invisible string.

Gungan Breath-holding contest on a bucket!

(what a fun party...)

I hate you like nerds hate Jar Jar Binks.

Does god allow cross-dressing Promise Keepers into heaven?

Jar Jar Binks would have also been a perfect fit.

Replace the voice with Jar jar binks, and then you will have something which is truly annoying.

OMG!!! i just realised...

Sarah Palin is Jar Jar Binks in a woman costume.

"Meesa gonna be da Vice-a Prez-e-Dense?"

...
I guess that makes John McCain Senator Palpatine. Watch out for that declaration of emergency powers.

Honestly Choggie is the fist Jar Jar that comes to mind. Just saying.

I might make a few more. I'll forward them to you if I do. I'm trying to think of someone that I can turn into Jar Jar Binks, but I don't hate anyone that bad.

Sweet, thanks for the images. I suck at photoshop but I'm gonna try and make a movie poster for SIFT WARS! (subtitle): A lost cause. The 4th movie in a 6 part epic. I'll go back 25 years later and make the first three an bastardization of the last half. Cause no one has done that before. That's all, Kilgo out.
