Don’t take to heart what the artzy jaded elite say about this. It is LOADS better then the 3rd and stands up on it’s own. The mixture of polished CG and practical effects makes for a movie that has been lost in the digitally over cooked action movie (see Wolverine). Check your contrived deep thinking mind at the door and think back to the bad ass nature of your 15 year old self. Bottom line: Robots v. Humans. Come on.
It is no secret that I’m a colossal fan of Harry Potter. However, I’ve taken a nice break from the world of wizardry and have indulged in a few other books; Little Brother and The Road, and I’m listening to Stephen King’s Cell again. However, the hijinks at Hogwarts are never far from my mind and I aways welcome the subject. That said, I wanted to show off some of M. S. Corley’s work. Corley of Kirkland Washington decided to redesign the Harry Potter book covers as vintage Penguin Books. I love this kind of design. Its alot like Olly Moss’s incredible re-imagined movie posters.
My friend Mr. Andy Foltz of “Old Man Foltz” brought this little internetz nugget to my attention when we where having fun with Matts Joke. Anyrate, I thought it would be worth while to revisit the Christian Bale tirade with Shane Hurlbut (now made famous for being at the stinky end of Mr. Bale’s half British half John Connor philippic) this time with a special touch. Enjoy.
Full Frame ended last Sunday. For most of the documentary film goers it ended with a late night re-screening of an award winning doc. For my self and Corey, it ended a bit differently…
Rewind to the day before. Corey, Kenneth and my self were heading to the corner sandwich shop and Kenneth got pulled away by a friend. Corey and I went on to eat. When Kenneth showed up he told us a story. Kenneth and friend were sitting in the hotel lobby when a man walks in with a dog. With surprise Kenneth said “What?” and his friend replied “Yeah, I know what’s with the dog??” “No, that is Orlando Bloom!” Kenneth corrected. After telling us this story I realized that same morning I was rushing to the box office because I didn’t want to miss out on films I wanted to see. As I came up the stairs, there was a dog tied to the railing. It was Orlando Bloom and his black lab…I walked right by. More…
Friday, day two of Full Frame. I’m kind of upset at how they did tickets this year. Seems they didn’t set aside tickets for passholders, and allowed online single tickets. This made for films selling out staight away leaving nothing for passholders. So I won’t be seeing “Bitch Academy”, piss.
Anyrate, I’m in line waiting to see “The Kinda Sutra” and “St. Misbehavin’: Wavy Gravy”
I was telling Kenneth last night how great it is that this years festival isn’t festuin (no spell check on iPhone) with preachy films about the Iraq war or Katrina or W. It’s nice to have space for films about ineresting people and wonderful stories.
Case and point is the film I saw this morning about a film maker in India who makes a Indian Superman. Ruddy brilliant!
Seems the line is moving. Check back later. Cheers.
