So this just happened
I don’t use FTW often, but Star Wars Uncut FTW. Congrats guys!
My name is Aaron Valdez, I grew up in Texas and now live in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I make videos about the internet and television for Wreck & Salvage. I like old film, worn out VHS, digital glitches, Precious Moments statues, Tootsie Roll Pops, warm bus rides, long sleeve shirts, and pull-ups. All of my work is available here.
Join Erik Nelson and Adam Quirk, two thirds of the Wreck & Salvage video collective, as they lead you on a journey of personal discovery and corporate freedom, through the backyards of the Internet and networked televisions, into a land of media refreshment rarely seen in today’s news and meme cycles.
Watch as one full uninterrupted hour of Wreck & Salvage brand media resurrection flickers and flashes on a full-sized King George projection screen!
Afterwards, join Nelson and Quirk for another hour of fair and balanced intercourse on “media” , “art”, and “modern society”, and the ways in which they painfully interact and sometime dissolve on contact.
Finally, Nelson and Quirk will administer an experimental homemade hallucinogen to a live donkey, and drinks will be served for the last two hours of the evening. Students are advised to bring their favorite pair of welding goggles and an unused sponge.

Bruce Willis (by wreckandsalvage)
This is what I meant when I said I was working on a Bruce Willis video.
A couple of my videos will be playing here.
Celebrity Workout Video Introductions (via resetcounter)
Hard Stars is pretty much done. There are a few more videos floating around out there that I know about (Carnie Wilson), a few I need better copies of (Herbie Mann) and probably a few more I’ve never heard of (does the Pat Boone workout really exist?).

The all-new 2010 Star Wars: Uncut website is now complete and available for your viewing pleasure!
We’re releasing this overhauled version of the site with lots of fun features. You’ll be able to find and sort content more easily, connect and comment on other users’ scenes, and there’s a great new viewer that lets you pick how to play the movie.
Many thanks to the Star Wars: Uncut Team — Annelise Pruitt, Jamie Wilkinson, Chad Pugh, Aaron Valdez, and Bryan Pugh.
Also thanks to Malcolm Sutherland and Patrick Moberg for their art contributions.
Check out the new site and come back to participate in a new Uncut film this summer!

Brief moments of our visit out West.
I’m Bruce Willis - Kevin Bewersdorf
I’ve wanted to make a video of this song for so long and I think it needs to happen this summer. I’ve stopped and started two or three times trying to figure out how to go about it without making it just a meaningless re-edit of Die Hard or highlight reel of his other rolls. Bruce Willis is John McClane is Bruce Willis. He peers around corners, he is beaten senseless, he leaps from exploding buildings, he slowly looks up and into the camera, turns slightly with a smirk. The song keeps with my own fascination with Hollywood heroes, the gray area between man and pop culture icon, swirling around the Die Hard narrative and the Bruce Willis narrative.
