Football fans

They were never like this in films like I.D, Football Factory or Green Street




Hmmmmm I wonder... Could you do a remake of I.D but as a musical?
That... could be interesting.

Either way, very clever advertising I have to say

Ahem

Only Fags smoke fags, would seem to be the jist of this spoof video from the Onion News Network





Hilarious, I love it

Cartoons.... now with added reality

Bugs: It's true, Doc; I'm a rabbit alright. Would you like to shoot me now or wait 'til you get home?
Daffy: Shoot him now! Shoot him now!
Bugs: You keep outta this! He doesn't have to shoot you now!
Daffy: He does so have to shoot me now! [to Elmer] I demand that you shoot me now!

Pop artist James Cauty's work Splatter repurposes classic Warner Bros. and Hanna-Barbera cartoons and gives them a Sin City-style blood spatter makeover, "presenting the viewer with unrelenting acts of bloody, cartoon violence, which, in cartoon law, ultimately cannot cause fatal injury."

The idea came from the Cauty's 15-year-old son who suggested his dad show the violence that cartoons leave out. "People have been saying since the ‘60s that cartoons should show the consequences of violence, or kids will get the wrong idea," Cauty told the Telegraph.


"Its very difficult to shock kids these days - you have cartoon characters being shot in the head and walking off cliffs, so we have decided to replace them with something more realistic."




This is the full "edit", which althought it has avoided the sounded being removed by WMG its doesnt have as much impact as the 1st video

Green Lantern

I do so wish this was a real trailer, but alas its not, but is this not one of the greatest movie trailers of all time?



Talk about throwing down a gauntlet for the director of the real film once it gets out of Production hell

When i was but a child

I read a book, a book I loved so much at the time, around the same time as i read the book I was watching TV one Saturday morning and there was an animated version of this book and I was amazed, as it was like my imagination on the TV. but for what ever reason it was, I forgot the book an its name for 20plus years. Only every so often would something tweak at my memory but i could never put all the pieces together in my mind.

Till sometime around 2007 i managed to see an episode of The Simpsons called The Girl Who Slept Too Little, during this episode Lisa visits the The Land of Wild Beasts which stirs ALL the forgotten memories again, there is the art style i remember, even the Beasts look the same

A little investigation online informs me that it was based on the book by Maurice Sendak called Where The Wild Things Are.

I did actually go away and find a copy to read again. this time the story did seem smaller than i remembered, but i may have been 6 when i read the book, but it did leave warm memories. I even searched online and thanks to the glories that is youtube i found the animated version:



Again, nice warm childhood memories floating to the surface.

Move on to January 2009, i discover there is apparently a live action being made.
This kinda worries me, as well over the last decade movie makers have been slowly destroying all the warm fuzzy memories of my childhood by remaking an sequels (Indiana Jones 4 end of argument).

A production still gets leaked on line.. is it real is it fake


Hmmmmm looks like something Jim Henson would have made back in the day i think to myself, and well id be right as Jim Henson's Creature Shop is indeed providing the effects.

Last week we got a look at the "official" trailer:


Its....well its.... its....

Its shiney and its got Arcade Fire - Wake Up, which really seems to suit the trailer

But, I look at the trailer and i have a slight worry, is this all about Max dealing with his parents divorce and moms new boyfriend? As well lets be honest that would suck mega balls
That and well the Wild Things look rather cute an fluffy, which some how doesnt seem right.

I suppose i will have to wait till the Autum to see if its something to make me wish i was six again or something that wishes i could keep the memories of my childhood safe from nasty grown ups a bit longer.
