Seen 'The Road' Yet?

Finally. I feel 'The Road' has dominated this blog and my circle of friends' lives for the last two years . . . and now that everyone in the world has read the book we have the movie to contend with! What are your thoughts? Obviously it doesn't/can't hold a candle to the book, I tried to separate the two.

While too sentimental sometimes, some of the images were really moving (cheeseball, I know). Because of the book I felt very removed and outside of the experience, but it was still really emotional . . . maybe because it just reminded me of it. Had anyone read 'No Country for Old Men' before seeing it? How was that experience?

I liked it, but I don't think it was great. And I hate to be that guy, but two of my favorite scenes weren't in it! Viggo didn't make the fake bullets and the gnarly army with slaves and pregnant women doesn't march by!

Berserk

So, yes, I'm guilty of once in a great while reading manga . . . but it's rare and they are always the exceptional ones. Here is such a comic, Berserk.

There's an anime of it I haven't seen, but I doubt it can compare, because it's the sheer detail of the artwork that blows me away.

The story is set in a dark fantasy Medieval Europe type place and in the true Japanese tradition it is obsessive and fetishistic in its depiction of Medieval badassity, made all the more intense by the fact that one guy writes and draws the whole thing . . . which has been ongoing for something like twenty years.

There is incest, rape, molestation, murder, lots of homosexual under/overtones, extreme violence . . . it's a trip. When the badass antihero of the series is sodomized at 11 years old, I knew I was dealing with something extremely grim and nihilistic, but it really pays off. I highly recommend the series, but I don't know where one would find em online, and buying them obviously gets pricey . . . but seeing as how the incredible art has me going back and pouring over them again and again, I'm glad I have.

Blog is an Awesome Blog is He

Here is a rad blog I often check out of old illustrations from magazines, journals and books . . . the name is a bit misleading, Golden Age Comic Book Stories.

I don't have any real ideas of my own at the moment, so here are other peoples!

YO!

we need to reinvigorate the mag!

I was lucky enough to work with Trevor Paglen back in SF and his work now defies an easy definition and has been called "experimental geography"

There is an acapela rendition of the original shitty keyboard solo, apparently canadian rap has seen the rain down in africa.

Lowborn Stuff

You guys have already received this e-mail probably, nonetheless . . .

We finally got around to getting ‘The Lowborn’ on IMDB and Amazon. Check it out, give it a rating or review it if you want to. It’s a little pricey ($ 16.00 ) considering it’s a bare bones DVD-R of a totally amateur production, but we only get a small portion of that. I want to do a special version with the soundtrack and other goodies someday, but I’ll probably never have time or money to get around to that . . . so this very well may be it.

Once again, the DVD is strictly chapter stops and the movie itself, but it’d be rad if you bought a copy . . . It’s definitely the most competent and interesting movie we have made and all the proceeds will go to funding our next project, the untitled Viking movie we plan to film in early January!

Here’s the links:

Thanks a lot, enjoy the movie, Matt

This is kind of crazy. It even got Alf.

Bug flight

This would be pretty cool if it wasn't edited so much like a commercial.

Methguys

Some of you dudes may have seen these already, we plan to wrap up the incredible saga soon. These are the methguys from our other short Coolduder13, you've seen that one. It's pretty puerile and utterly retarded, so if you thought this was an affecting and powerful look at substance abuse . . . these are not the droids your looking for. They get better as they go along, so don't give up after number 3. You can link seperatley or just click on the 'video response' to each installment, that'll be the next movie.

Funny Bears

Ok, we have here some amusing bear portraiture.

The one after the one I linked to reminds me of an old-time painting of a fox hunter or something.

How's this for an ad campaign?
