Viral Video Round Up: The Dark Knight Rises, Star Wars, Jim Henson, Samuel L. Jackson, And More! Zach Oldenburg, January 29, 2012 The Internet is full of videos related to movies, whether they be fan made, studio made, or somewhere in between. We regularly bring you the best, most interesting, or just plain weirdest, and today we do it again. Check out the latest viral videos after the break. This fan made opening titles to The Dark Knight Rises is utterly amazing. Do you agree that this is how Return of the Jedi should have ended? Will someone please explain how this short film, titled Archetype, was made on a zero budget? It’s very impressive. Did you see The Walking Deads new opening credits? I would listen to the Shit Samuel L. Jackson Says all day, every day, because it makes me laugh. From the vaults, I now present you with a 1956 short film by Jim Henson, “Robots”.
