Wow. I mean, just… ‘wow’.
Even better, you can see it in motion. Try either the divx or horrid wmv version. (When I tried the divx cut off before the end and the wmv jobbie had blue wobbly lines in it, weird). Between the two you can make out the majesty of the project.

Ahhh, movie concept art. The stage of pre-production where everything looks incredibly cool and gets you all excited. Right before they feebly try to put it on screen and you’re sat there in the cinema wondering why the alien queen just gave birth to some weird yellow thing. Take this pic for example. It’s the [...]

Today, I became aware of a truly great name. It’s certainly the name of the month and is contending for name of the year. I shall dither no more. Simply sit back, relax and behold the sheer brilliance of the name that is…
Adam Frontal-Gay
I rest my case, your Honour.
PS – Thanks to the Feisty Kim [...]

The HitchHiker’s Guide to the Galaxy — Douglas Adams 85% (102)

A while back I sat and ate my lunch with some friends from work. At the time the TV show ‘Ant and Decs TV Gameshow Marathon’ was being aired by ITV1 and the conversation was on this. Very basically, the premise of the show is that Ant and Dec, a pair of Scousers who used [...]

Ah, finally. It’s good to breathe in some stale, rancid randomlinkage air. Yes ladies, gentlemen and those who are sort of inbetween pending surgery, I have returned from the digital wilderness and have my Internet connection re-established.
I see Mr Trench has been performing admirably, keeping the articles flowing. He’s also been doing a bit of [...]

Well this is reassuring. Simply give average Americans a map, ask them where the US should invade next and then point a camera at them.
This actually makes George Bush Jr. look pretty damn sensible.

Like Music?
Like Beards?
Then why not listen to excellent music selected by a man with a beard? The Apparat Podcasts (subscribe via RSS linky here), courtesy of master of all things writery Warren Ellis, are really jolly smashing.
Why not listen to them?
Why not stop Warren hitting me across the shins with his cane until his audience [...]

North Korea may have inadvertantly created the best named television series in the history of the universe. Those lucky enough not to live in the sickeningly democratic South can tune their state-approved gogle-boxes into:
Let us trim our hair in accordance with Socialist lifestyle.
Marvellous.

Witness the madness that is Space Cadets.
Luckily the British public rarely let us down on the ‘general fecklessness and gulibility’ stakes.

The rather smashing Xbox 360 launches in 16 days, or something around there if I could be bothered to research further. Some lucky swine has bagged one early thanks to a competition and has posted a brief review. Low and behold, Microsoft have completely half inched the XBMC concept and turn the thing into a [...]

Excellent news, given that Tom Baker is probably the bestest thing about Little Britain. Take that incredibly sucessful program!

Okay, so I may have sunk to stealing links from the excellent b3ta already.
But this pic is so good you’ll forgive me.

I can’t decide what’s more appalling and the reduces my faith in humanity more.
The fact that Oliver Stone is directing a movie about 9/11 starring Nicholas Cage, (as someone has already suggested, the trailer will end with a shot of cage diving toward the camera as flaming wreckage lands behind him).
