Sweded Tron.

First I should probably explain what "Swedeing" a movie is for those out there who aren't familiar with the term. It all comes from Michel Gondry's film "Be Kind Rewind" which is about a couple guys in a rental store who find themselves with a store full of erased tapes (that they caused). They decide to re-create the films on their own, and rent them out to people like nothing has changed.


Wikipedia


The tapes are described as having come from Sweden as an excuse for higher rental fees and longer wait times.


In light of the theme of swedeing, director Michel Gondry swedes a version of the trailer of the film, starring Gondry himself. On the official website, users can engage in swedeing, which puts their faces on the VHS cover of a movie. The Be Kind Rewind YouTube minisite also encourages filmmakers to swede their own versions of popular movies.


With that out of the way you are all ready to see the most amazing thing ever. Sweded Tron, Sweded-freaking-lightcycle-scene-from-Tron. I should probably admit right now that I love Tron, it's the best film Jeff Bridges was in that isn't called "The Big Lebowski", and I cannot wait for the anniversary release.
