Wall-Painted Animation using Stop-Motion Recording

17. June 2008

For those of you that saw this a few weeks ago when it originally dropped, you can skip this post… but for those of you that didn’t see it, it is pretty amazing. Rick Saldana sends in a link to MUTO, which was a wall-painted animation by BLU recorded using stop-motion over the period of god-knows-how-long. [...]

NetFlix Roku Streaming Movie Device Review

Matt Young has been kind enough to send along a mini-review of the Roku, NetFlix set-top-box streaming media player used to stream the NetFlix “Watch it Now” library directly to your TV over the internet. I had originally been concerned at the size of the NetFlix Watch-it-Now library as well as the picture quality, but Matt [...]

The Secret History of Star Wars

22. May 2008

0 Comments

Are you a Star Wars fan? Then I’m about to drop some atomic shit right up your ass… How exactly did George Lucas develop the script for the first Star Wars? Why were the prequels so uneven when the originals were so good? Did he really have a masterplan for six, nine, or even twelve episodes, and why [...]

Tokyo Gore Police Trailer… or something

16. April 2008

0 Comments

Saw this over on I Watch Stuff, it’s the “trailer” for Tokyo Gore Police, which is a ridiculously over the top 80/90s-style cheesy Japanese gore-fest… sort of like Riki-Oh, if you ever saw that or to a lesser extend the original Toxic Avenger from Troma. So if you like movies like that cause you are curious [...]

DreamWorks Snags Ghost in the Shell

16. April 2008

It seems that DreamWorks has snagged the rights to the Ghost in the Shell movie… one of the best animes out there. They described the movie as a 3D (yay!) live-action (booo!) hybrid and said that GITS provided the perfect story to be delivered on that platform. Having just watched Appleseed: Ex Machina, and thinking it was [...]

Trigun Movie In the Works (for 2009)

I ran across this new somewhat by accident… but then again I tend to do awesome things by accident. One time I accidentally grew 3″ taller… and another time I accidentally smashed a tiger and a lion together so hard that I made a Liger. Anyway, if you are an anime fan or even have just [...]

We’ll hopefully make that early next year for the summer of 2010,” said Godfrey. If you haven’t caught it already, there has been massive [...]

Interesting… it looks like there is going to be a Live Action remake of Akira in 2009. So far the two rumored roles for the leads (for the main guy and his friend that gets sucked into the government experiment) are: Leonardo DiCaprio: Joseph Gordon-Levitt: both actors I love (DiCaprio after The Aviator and The Departed… he really [...]
