How Awesome Is This?

An Old Spice commercial featuring Bruce Campbell singing a lounge-lizard version of Duran Duran's "Hungry Like The Wolf".
Brilliant.

End of the Year Mix

There were a lot of good albums that came out this year.
I made a mix of some tracks from my favorite releases from 2007.
Unfortunately, iTunes doesn't have the new Radiohead album "In Rainbows", which is one of the best things to come out this year. So I had edit my selection of songs. If you have "In Rainbows" this mix should start with the song "Weird Fishes" and you can add it yourself.
Anyway, check it out over at iTunes:

2007 Mix

Picture Day

They say a picture's worth a thousand words.
I want to know this guy's tale.

Early Gilliam

Two animated short films by Terry Gilliam:

Storytime (1968)


Miracle of Flight (1974)

Early Kubrick

Stanley Kubrick made 3 short documentary films before turning to narrative with his first feature film "Fear and Desire". I've always wanted to see these four films but they're not readily available. Thanks Youtube.

Day of The Fight (1951)


Flying Padre (1951)


The Seafarers (1953) Part 1


The Seafarers (1953) Part 2


The Seafarers (1953) Part 3


Fear and Desire (1953)

New Orleans to New York

Signing Off

Check out the WGA's blog with all sorts of interesting tidbits about this strike.

I read an article yesterday about entertainment bloogers going on strike as well, in support of the writer's strike. I thought that was funny. But then I thought: "Hell, no one reads this blog anyway and I'm hard-pressed for a reason to actually keep it going. Why don't I say that I TOO am striking in solidarity to cover up the fact that I really don't feel like writing on here?"

Good idea.

So yeah. That's where I'm at.
Maybe when the strike's over I'll have something new to write about. Maybe not.

Adieu...
