Is it a coincidence they were both Star Wars related? First up, a simply staggering recreation of Echo Base in LEGO. The complex required well over 20,000 lego tiles and 160 lights. It is over 6'x12' and takes up an entire garage. Mark Borlase, you have my infinite admiration. Next up, a site devoted to recreating shots from the original trilogy using the original old-school figures. As someone who still has a few figures from the original trilogy lying around somewhere, I have to admire the artistry in the photography, the excellent use of depth of field and lighting, not to mention making cheap-o figures look like a million bucks.
One: Road to Sectionals Kings - Season One Weeds - Season 4 Ain't it Cool (52) It's Funny, Laugh (37) Stop what you’re doing and take a moment to wish the brilliant, cross-dressing comedian Eddie Izzard a “happy birthday.” The man is a British national treasure, and I’m flabbergasted that he hasn’t been knighted already. Eddie is like a super-combo of Monty Python and Tim Curry in Rocky Horror Picture Show. Even if the Queen isn’t a fan of his stand-up, she’s got to tip her tastefully conservative hat to how good he looks in a Chinese silk qipao. It’s a crime that he isn’t cast in more movies. Oh, you never saw it? Better rectify that mistake tonight, because it is the best movie ever. But I’ll save that rant for another time. Today is about Eddie. Since everyone is so jazzed about Legos right now, what with The Lego Movie premiere, it seems only fitting to celebrate Eddie with his top three best stand-up routines as played by Lego people.
I don’t know what it is about Lego people, but they are side-splittingly funny — kind of like animal voice-overs. How can you not laugh at that? (Wishbone, Homeward Bound, Milo & Otis…) So get ready for the laugh of your life, because I’m treating you to Lego people and Eddie Izzard, you lucky dog. 1. Death Star Canteen: “There must have been a Death Star canteen. There must have been a cafeteria downstairs — in between battles — where Darth Vader could just chill. I will have the penne all’arrabbiata.” 2. Tea and Cake or Death?: “You can’t say, ‘You must have tea and cake with a vicar or you die!’ You can’t have extreme points of view. The Spanish Inquisition would never have worked in the Church of England. Oh, sorry, loosen it up a bit will you?” 3. James Bond’s Gadgetry: “The jam trousers were f—ing useless.”Saisissez les caractères que vous voyez ci-dessous Désolés, il faut que nous nous assurions que vous n'êtes pas un robot.

It's a status cemented by last year's wildly successful The LEGO Movie, the wealth of pop-culture-licensed toy sets flying off shelves, and a wealth of goodwill toward the company. The new documentary film A LEGO Brickumentary (out July 31) attempts not only to celebrate these iconic bricks' history, but also to chronicle their ever-expanding legacy, which nowadays includes providing inspiration for architects and artists alike. This makes for a breezy info-dump of a documentary, but too often it also feels like just a feature-length LEGO commercial.Brickumentary is a team effort between two acclaimed documentary filmmakers: Daniel Junge (who won an Oscar for his 2012 co-directed short, Saving Face, about the local phenomenon of Pakistani women being attacked with acid) and Kief Davidson (who was nominated for his 2013 short, Open Heart, about impoverished Rwandan children seeking life-saving heart surgeries).
Their pedigree for hard-hitting, socially-conscious exposés doesn't really surface with Brickumentary, which has a thoughtful but lively bent, and an animated LEGO figure voiced by Jason Bateman serving as our friendly narrator through the film. The movie isn't interested in exploring the appeal of LEGO so much as assuring us that it exists.Initially, we're treated to a quick history of LEGO's formation and evolution. Told partly through animated segments starring the familiar bricks and posable figures, Brickumentary explains how Danish carpenter Ole Kirk Kristiansen established the company in the early 1930s, and how the toy become into a global enterprise in the 1950s when LEGO's brain trust hit upon the interlocking design that made building possibilities almost endless. The film introduces us at one point to Soren Eilers, a professor of mathematics at the University of Copenhagen, who has dedicated himself to calculating just how many different designs can be created from a handful of LEGO bricks.
The answer is in the millions.From there, Brickumentary expands to illustrate the impact this ostensible child's toy has had on the culture, whether it's the legions of AFOLs (adult fans of LEGO) who frequent LEGO conventions or the child psychologists who have had breakthroughs with autistic kids thanks to LEGOs. Artist Nathan Sawaya, who fashions three-dimensional works out of LEGOs and re-creates classic paintings with the bricks, speaks to the toys' creative properties, while city planners discuss how LEGO models help them rethink traffic patterns.Junge and Davidson move effortlessly from subject to subject, the film always lightly entertaining and mildly informative. But there's not much substance underneath the cheery sales job. This isn't to say that the filmmakers aren't critical at all of the venerable company. For instance, Brickumentary makes brief mention of LEGO's long embrace of boys at the near-exclusion of girls, through which the company unconsciously reinforced narrow-minded gender stereotypes.
But it's telling that even here, the film operates on a feel-good wavelength: The directors spotlight Alice Finch, an AFOL who has won several audience awards at conventions for her inventive designs, becoming an inspiration to young girls who, in previous generations, had been persuaded to think of the toy (and its promotion of problem-solving skills) as the domain of their male peers.As the narrator, Bateman is more jolly tour guide than compelling, authoritative presence. He delivers the corny jokes with professional polish and drops into a more compassionate tone when the situation requires it. But his likeable work, like Junge and Davidson's, is really in service to promoting a brand in a low-key yet insistent way. Brickumentary doesn't make any outrageous claims about the genius of LEGO, at worst arguing that the toy has become a universal language so beloved that it's now a common vernacular for people of all ages and backgrounds. (Even the segment on autism doesn't suggest that the bricks are some sort of miracle cure.)
