Thanks Jonathan
More people should be visiting this mans site; but if you decide not to, I have a feeling he won't give a fu#k either way!

Captain Planet Saves Belfast



Truly educational!


And in addition:

Sometimes the comments section are actually funnier than the piece itself(though in fairness not really in this case...)However the vid below is certainly worth checking out:

If Bosch did movie posters...

I was in awe when I first came across these African movie posters some time back (thanks Johnny) So you can imagine my joy when I find a site that has a bundle that I had never seen before...





Still my favorite has to be this one:


Now if Cujo had have actually looked like this in the movie I would have shit my pants! Imagine that monstrosity lumbering towards you; it's the size of a horse for fu*cks sake!

The rest can be enjoyed over at Robot Nine

Mary and Max



As Mary and Max chronicles Mary’s trip from adolescence to adulthood, and Max’s passage from middle to old age, it explores a bond that survives much more than the average friendship’s ups-and-downs. Like Elliot and Coombs’ Oscar winning animated short “Harvie Krumpet”, “Mary and Max” is both hilarious and poignant as it takes us on a journey that explores friendship, autism, taxidermy, psychiatry, alcoholism, where babies come from, obesity, kleptomania, sexual differences, trust, copulating dogs, religious differences, agoraphobia and many more of life’s surprises

I have just sat through this little master-piece and believe me when I say that it is one of the best animated features I have ever seen. In fact, I go as far as to say it is one of the best movies I have seen this year, animated or otherwise.

Highly recommended!

Lady on red...


About to take down the evil ChrisdeBurghlar with her anal hook gun.






After typing the word "gun" Colin immediately realized how truly unfunny that attempted play on words really was!

But having reread the ChrisdeBurglar part, he did snigger a little.

John K


If your interested in cartoons and your not following John K's blog...you should be! He's like a one man animation college with some excellent tips and pointers for anybody who hopes to (or for that matter, already does...) work in the "wonderful world" of animation.

A couple of his more recent posts in particular certainly struck a chord with me:

Beer Run

This was floating around the studio yesterday. Stick with it, as around the 1 min mark it really kicks into gear...(Or all his gear really kicks in- one of the two!)

REDRUM

Two months later...

Here are some of my Stanley Hotel pics for your viewing pleasure. I should mention that you may find some of these images rather disturbing...

You have been warned...


That's the hotel.


Flag blowing in wind.


Leather armchair(s)


Elevator


Stupid guy in blue T-shirt, not only deciding to get into my shot, but looking at me while he walks! Idiot!


Piano.


Car. Apparently it runs on water. Genius!


Chairs.


Balls. They say they move by themselves.


Tables and chairs. All dolled up posh looking because there is probably yet another wedding taking place. So I can look forward to the house band playing "Wind beneath my fu#cking wings" ...AGAIN.


Back of the gaff.


Kubrick letter. That is also my first experience of an orb. No! It is not a camera flash!


Miniature house where seventeen dead dwarfs all reside. One of them is called Chris.


Typewriter.


Entrance to the bell tower. I swear I would slap that kid so hard and ram that crayon so far...


Table and chairs sat against a wall at the end of a corridor.


Another corridor.


...


Music room. Orbs.


Billiard room. Orbs.


Dust my ass.


Same room.


Purple orb; this one appears to be wearing glasses and smiling.


This one appears to be wearing glasses and smiling.


Fuzzy orb.


Saved the best for last: My only encounter with "Nobby the ghost." He's a cheeky one that Nobby, pissed in my ear he did.

Carry on Zombie

Who would have thunk it eh!? The "Carry On" movie is back and helmed by a director called Jake West.

Seriously...

The movie in question? Well, it's this one:



It has Danny Dwyer taking the role of the late great Sid James:





Lee Ingleby as the irrepressible Kenneth Williams:





Stephen Graham as Kenneth Connor:






God Almighty! It even has Hattie bloody Jacques...

The Legend

When passing by the company Lululemon Athletica on my way to work this morning there seemed to be a lot of activity going on, which I had thought was due to perhaps an outdoor party to celebrate another line of their fantastic sports wear: A self replenishing yogurt hat perhaps or a line of sports wear for dwarf athletes?

So anyway, I didn't pay it too much attention and continued into work.

Then at around noon my fellow co-worker Johnny arrived and informed me that I should go up to the roof because someone of major stature was across the way at Lululemon (He didn't actually announce it quite like that, I'm just playing it up for added drama...)

So when I got to the roof, this is what I could see:



Centre stage a lone figure sat as the audience stood around clapping and cheering.

And that person happened to be MUHAMMAD ALI!!!!!


The pic below is probably a better choice(But believe me in 1976 that toy was one of my most prized possessions!)

So yeah...

MUHAMMAD ALI!!!!!!



Apparently he is in town for a screening of the new film Facing Ali at the Vancouver Film Festival.

To be in the man's presence, if only at a distance is still quite a nice way to start the weekend!
