As opposed to Fin’s rather cruel post, this PG Porn video is awesome. I mean, for one, it’s got Nathan Fillion and ain’t nothing he does is not worth watching… I’m so tired I can’t tell if that last sentence means what I meant it to mean. Christ I need sleep. Watch the goddamn video!
Can’t post anything properly today. Drank too much last night.
A two faced kitten was born in Australia and I immediately thought of Transmetropolitan. Should really send the link to Warren Ellis, reckon he’d dig it.
There’s a listing of 40 Exquisite Independent Film Posters and its a pretty good selection. Definitely a couple that I’d have on my list. There’s also an ever changing list of 100 Greatest Movie Posters which is also pretty neat-o.
A great New Scientist write up of why the universe most likely is teaming with extra-terrestrial life here.
Forgot to mention the second Hamilton screening of It Came From the Swamp was on last night. There will be an Auckland screening tonight at the Wine Cellar, so if anyone isn’t up to anything and in the area up there, head on over and check out some quality films.
Alternatively you can check out this new Microsoft Zune ad. We don’t have Zunes in New Zealand and its pretty doubtful we ever will, but that doesn’t matter. Just watch this video and be amazed… hehehe.
Last night MSU, Hamilton’s greatest band ever, played their last gig ever and it was great. So great I woke up with a ringing in my ears that even now, still hasn’t gone away. I also woke up with a retarded number of photos on on my camera that has now been uploaded to my facebook, viewable here and here (cause one album just wasn’t enough). The photos also helped me remember other things that happened last night, including getting kneed in the balls and getting wacked in the head and twisting my glasses. Both by girls. Both quite, quite painful. What I can’t quite remember is if I actually had it coming… hrmmmm…
Anyway, it was the end of an era and the end of Mobile Stud Unit and it was great to see so many familiar faces there to party and help sending them off. Shine on you crazy diamonds. Shine on. Me and my ever sore balls salute you.
Meet the new website. Incorporating elements from previous site designs and a new site code, this is pretty much just a prettier version. Most notable is the return of the random banner, which people missed most with the last redesign and I did too.
So far the code has worked for everywhere except this bloody blog part where the archives sidebar is interfering with the goddamn blog itself and I’m too tired right now to figure out why the hell that’s the case. So for now, unfortunately, you’ll just have to put up with this really strange gap cause I need to get myself a drink or twelve.
Still coding in new website design. Still taking ages. I hate coding.
Here’s a video of my personal hero Christopher Doyle being Christopher Doyle that’s kept me a little happy tonight…
…birds are chirping outside. I’m going the fuck to bed.
Kick off screening of It Came From the Swamp went very down very well last night with tickets being sold out and a second screening planned for next week to accommodate futher viewers.
I got there late myself and forgot to grab a copy of the DVD, something I’ll probably have to pay for, but from what I hear, apart from being on sale during the tour, the DVD will eventually be available in stores like JB Hifi, which is pretty exciting.
Part of last night was also the first time I had sat down with an audience watching Spit-Takes and though I was nervous to begin with, people started laughing from the first gag and kept laughing in almost all the right places which is great. There are still bits and pieces which I wish I had spent a little more time polishing and shortening to really get the laughs across, but ah well.
Just to note about Spit-Takes: the version that’s touring is actually the ‘clean’ version. Where the one on youtube at the moment is full of dirt and film artifacts, the one thats on the DVD is free of all that due to the fact I couldn’t complete all the effects in time before it had to be in for the DVD mastering. This I don’t mind, I’m still half and half if it should be either clean or dirty, but I must point out that the countdown timer appears to have been cut from the start of the short which is a little miffing as it sets up the whole ‘educational film’ format, but them’s the breaks I suppose.
But anyway, It Came From the Swamp will be playing in Raglan tonight, not that anyone I know from Raglan will be reading this, but I actually wouldn’t mind being there right now as the weather for the last few days have been ridiculously hot and I’ve got a feeling I’m not looking forward to summer this year.
Been ‘listening’ to a lot of music videos while I’ve been web building and figured why the hell not post some of my favourites by Chris Cunningham…
