Amazing Aliens Rap

Saw this while mooching about Nat Saunders Worm Hotel

The fan led campaign to bring attention to Sam Rockwell's performance as Sam Bell in Duncan Jones directorial MOON was cranked up a notch today by the release of a wonderful, tongue in cheek appeal video created by campaigner Chris Trevarthen


Spurred on by the lack of support from Sony Picture Classics when it came to sending out screener DVDs to Oscar Academy voters, fans from all over the world have met through social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook, joined by a common desire to see an actor who has delivered a stunning performance, be recognized by his peers at the highest level, by receiving a nomination for Best Actor in the 2010 Academy Awards.

Very basically, if the studio are not promoting MOON to the academy voters (all 5,777 of them) then the fans will. With only 10 days to go until Oscar ballot return deadline (23rd January 2010), time is of the esscence. So, if you have seen MOON, loved Sam Rockwell's performance, and want to help out you can:

  • Get more details on the campaign & MOON HERE
  • Share the video above on your sites / blogs / facebook pages etc

Bonkers...

You can make it yourself, but you'll need to be a serious tech-head with plenty of spare time. Click here for the schematics.
