Youtube Madness

Won auction for DVD rack for $2. Stoked.

Will be going to Auckland for the night to meet people, see people and hopefully watch 300 at a midnight screening or some other time asap.

There just seems to be an abundance of youtube videos being watched today, so I figured I’d post all about those for tonight. So without further ado…

Here is quite possibly, one of the coolest, sexiest short films ever called Tyger which just looks amazing…

A really twisted animated short called Rabbit that made me both smile, feel disturbed and still not so hungry for jam.

A really strange video of… I dunno what, but it’s a liquid metal fountaing thingee of some sort and it looks freaking cool and I want one.

A rather short short film by Dave McKean about… I dunno what, but the surreal images are very pretty.

And finally… um… Alanis Morissette covering “My Humps”…. yeah…

Again, posts getting infrequent. But then again, not much going on.

Some lovely bouts of drinking over the weekend. Had some ‘last’ drinks with some uni folks and got nicely drunk with Malcolm, who flies out next Monday, for quite an indefinite time. He shall be missed.

But the hangover was awesome and today is my third day off work and not much has been achieved. Editing on Spit-Takes became quite a scary task and though there is probably enough footage, at this point it’ll be debatable if anything worthwhile will be usable for Paul to take down on to Wellington. But in saying that, the current edit of Pictures of You is looking quite nice. I’ll be doing some basic colour corrections on the footage before its taken down tomorrow and hopefully be able to make it to a cheap Tuesday viewing of Black Sheep afterwards.

Also got caught with the consumerism whore bug and bought my first DVDs in a long time… actually, seven movies… Children of Men, Desperado, El Mariachi, Jarhead, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Sonatine and The Wild Bunch. Plus a random look on trademe and I’ve found an auction for a CD/DVD rack exactly like the ones I’m currently using. Which, like when the last one (the second) was purchased, it was due to a demand to get new shelf space for the huge overflow of guilty purchases. I’ve actually had this problem for about two years now and to actually find a third one is insanely good fortune (cause they were really cheap things to buy, but are reliably good for DVD storage) and by the looks of the pile that’s already built up, I’ll be need a fourth one really soon.

Who’s looking forward to 300, Pan’s Labyrinth and The Illusionist this week? The thought of all those movies has got me so turned on.
