First Place, Last Place

So I have a strange love of the fifth element. It ranked high among my favorite movies for a long time. It’s kind of losing it luster for me in recent years but i still really love how creative it was. It seemed like every piece was new and unique.The world is artfully crafted and truly adds to every second of the film.I could have done without Chris Tucker. Everybody could have. And the Cg parts are falling flat these days but they are few. At least we see the hot milla jovovich scantily clad for most of the movie. I had a thing for orange dreadlocks for a loooong time.. Never could get anybody to wear them but a nerd can dream. Anywho this girl is pretty awesome… replicating the opera singer in the movie perfectly. Its insane and filled my brain with geek nostalgia juice.

Stephen hawking is afraid of aliens coming to kill us all. This may be his cause for alarm… is this a first place or a last place? I dont know lol.

hehe its late but enjoyed this so im posting it…

Check it out. Real unicorn meat! Finally you can put those holier than thou bastards in their place. They think they are so great running around with glitter and Tom Cruise. I’m gonna eat it in front of orphaned vegetarian 5  year old girls! A whole lot of them!

I feel I should mention that the F-Unicorn is too much of a dick to be hunted down and turned into meat. Your probably sitting their hunting him and bam. Not only has he kicked the butt of your gun into you face but he’s also conviced your boss to demote you and convinced your girlfriend to ” try women for a while”. So Dickish! Anyway Unicorn Meat!

The work of Iain is awesome! it pops, its surreal, its detailed and cartoony and amazing. It has a tinge of “Superjail” style but more refined and and bolder use of line work. Im sure you could stare at it for hours. Im so envious of his control over his line work and sheer patience. Enjoy!

At the SpicyDonut household we can often be heard drunkenly yelling. “Give these people air!” which is a totally random total recall quote. Although im sure most of these have made it into the repertoire from time to time. Incidentally, seen the new trailer for the expendables… looks badass!

We have been passing this around since our friend Matt showed us this video. There’s layers of humor to this. Initially its the game glitch of the goat, but thats just the icing. The  cake is the guys narrating and laughing. So infectious! I love those moments when you truly just lose your mind an laugh your ass off. The game is Call of Juarez, so it might be worth picking up out of a bargain bin someday just for that moment. All hail the mystic powers of ladder goat!

Awesome video showcasing some amazing video/ 3d combo work. I love Donkey Kong on the empire state building. That was genius! I’ve always been interested in learning more about camera tracking and marrying it to 3d animation but I’ve never been quite able to pull it off. I’m sure these kind of projects require some expensive specialized plugins to make it work. Hopefully they’ll post a behind the scenes type thing to see how they did it. Thanks to Russel for pointing it my way.

I dont know which i like better. the song or all the eighties ninja fighting. I’ve been talking to a friend about revisiting the american ninja series and im sure hilarity shall ensue. I mean 1 part all american white guy ninja, 1 part low budget 80s action flick, mix them and you have to get the elixir of the ironically hilarious gods.

I have an Interesting history with horror movies. I was absolutely terrified of them until i was probably 13-14. I remember my parents taking me to see total recall in theaters and us having to leave 20 minutes in. Which I dont know if it really is a horror film but that just gives you more of an idea of my fear. But i eventually grew up and in to horror. It became a thirst for a while, renting the backlog of the video store and spending summers watching everything i could. I realized there aren’t that many great horror films. Or maybe that there are too many bad ones. Wading through “976-evil” and “slumber party massacre 2” (which is amazing in its own way. Drill guitar ftw) I only came across a few that really stuck with me. Personal favorites like the shining, poltergeist and the thing to name a few. Anywho these posters are cool redesigns and I hope we see more on these on theater walls in the future.
