Sweding is where you take something that you like, such as a movie, and remake it yourself using whatever comes to hand.

Above is a brilliant example (I especially like the x-wing fighter attack on the death star sequence)

The phrase “sweding” was invented by the writers of the upcoming film ‘Be Kind Rewind’ starring Jack Black & Mos Def, where a video store owner decides to remake classic films, after all of his tapes are wiped by magnetism, for the benefit of the store’s one regular customer. The length of time it takes for the movies to arrive is explained to the customer, a little old lady played by Mia Farrow, by the tapes having come from Sweden. Hence: When the 2 guys are making the films, they are ’sweding’ them.

Search on youtube for swede, you’ll find loads of great clips like the one above; and for more info on the film some google ads should have popped up over there on the left, heh heh.

update: Except they haven’t, heh heh
