If you hadn't already guessed, the joke is on you ;) This is the final installment of the Sword Fight Club franchise, and we wanted to go out with a bang (the actual sword-fight starts at about 1:00): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb0mNj79YM0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb0mNj79YM0 As...

Hey all! It's been a while, but I finally got around to finishing my next video, Sword Fight Club: Origins. You can watch it here, and read all about it below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQEPWYUnPdk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQEPWYUnPdk I made the other two Sword Fight Club videos...

"Originality is undetected plagarism." We all borrow from outside influences, so as long as you're not directly (and overtly) copying someone else's work, you're just fine.

Is it a coincidence that swords (and in this case fingers) are phallic symbols?

Dangit, you're right! Forget I posted anything, people. Nothing to see here...

I decided to make an official page for our (really) stupid series of youtube videos (the first two are released, and we are in the process of making an "origins" series as well as a culminating Sword Fight Club 3). The amount of shameless self-promotion that my friends have done for these...

They made that movie with full awareness of how close to the actual incident they were. Greengrass stayed away from most of the sterotypical "dramatic" shots and dialogue -- it's all underplayed because the reality of the situation is more important than stylistic flourishes. They could have...
