<a href="http://www.lego.com/studios/screening/movie.asp?opt=wml">a silly place...</a> either someone has waaaaay to much time on their hands or this is the coolest thing i've seen for ages.
For those of you who want more explanation think <b>Monty Python</b> but in <b>Lego</b>. it's a movie - so time taken to view this movie is depending on whether your connection to the interweb is <b>butane</b> or <b>coal fired</b>. I've searched the archives and not found this particuar link - but it is a few months old, so apologies to any who have seen it before.
I've not been accused of anything for a while.post:www.metafilter.com,2001:site.12888Wed, 05 Dec 2001 02:32:06 -0800SpoonlegosmontypythonbrokenlinkBy: Summer

I laughed a lot Spoon and I usually hate 'silly' stuff. Lego is just very funny. I adored Lego Racers.comment:www.metafilter.com,2001:site.12888-185465Wed, 05 Dec 2001 02:39:55 -0800SummerBy: skyboy

If <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/comments.mefi/10926">memory serves</a>, there are plenty of Lego films out there.

i don't have sound, but knowing the film well, that looked like a very well made piece of animation.comment:www.metafilter.com,2001:site.12888-185489Wed, 05 Dec 2001 05:17:29 -0800FrasermooBy: niteHawk

Frasermoo, the soundtrack is straight from the film, so you could always just use that.
I must admit I have seen this before, but not on MeFi.comment:www.metafilter.com,2001:site.12888-185508Wed, 05 Dec 2001 06:16:02 -0800iainBy: ZachsMind

I couldn't tell if the sound is from the original or if it's a modern remake. It sounded too clean to be from the actual movie, but if it's a rerecording with new elements and talents, they did an impressive job.
I'm more impressed with the <a href="http://www.ericharshbarger.org/cgi-bin/photo.cgi?clock_5.jpg+lego/images/clock">Lego Clock</a>. Although a computer desk made of lego would be intriguing, <a href=http://www.ericharshbarger.org/cgi-bin/photo.cgi?clock_2.jpg+lego/images/clock>this contraption</a> is a little engineering marvel. I was fascinated with lego as a kid. Lost interest in my preteens. Good thing too, cuz had I kept at it I'd presently be living in a house made of nothing but lego. Driving a car made of lego. It was unhealthy. =)comment:www.metafilter.com,2001:site.12888-185509Wed, 05 Dec 2001 06:19:57 -0800ZachsMindBy: gen

Oh, and you're right. That kind of lego obsession would not be healthy. Plus the heat of the engine would melt the legos.comment:www.metafilter.com,2001:site.12888-185532Wed, 05 Dec 2001 06:58:44 -0800nprigodaBy: Brilliantcrank

"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it. Dear Daddy, Schopenhauer for tomorrow.

The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law.

Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends.
