It's just a movie and it doesn't really happen but it would be cool though to picture it

It's the OMG feeling that you have when you hear an enormity like "I have deleted the Internet!" Usually that kind of statement is associated with a blonde beautiful woman with pinkish nails and big round breasts (/drooling mode on) that has the best laptop found on the market and doesn't know what to do with it.

Nevertheless it's what presumably happens in the upcoming movie "Be Kind Rewind" where a terrible accident erases all the tapes in the video store owned by Mos Def. I'm not sure how that could actually happen but he and his friend Jack Black who is supposedly magnetized (could this be the reason and if so, how magnetized do you have to be for that to happen?) go about recreating all the movies on their own in what the movie calls "sweding".

The nice and funny part, well except for the movie, is the homepage recreating the movie which is a mock-up of the Mountain View based company's own Search homepage that looks like a kid drew it. Apart from the obvious reference to Google and the association via the movie's message to the biggest thing on the Internet I'm rather surprised that The Great Search Engine went through with giving the OK for its brand being used for commercial purposes although as of recently it began withdrawing AdSense accounts and banning them for illegal usage of the name or of anything related.

An interesting idea, that of the site, not original, but I'm not sure many have thought about recreating Google; most of us just take it for granted (not that we should thank it for that matter, it knows how to get its cut without our necessary input so it doesn't dwell on a "thank you for being there"). If you think it's worth it, check out the movie, it's coming in a theater near you on the 25th of January.
