Totally loving the universalness of the lyrics.

A Very Gilliam Xmas [animation]

Is Christmas just not weird enough for you to find enjoyment amongst the guise of Santa and CLEAROUT SALES!? Well black-sheep, the awesome Terry Gilliam may have your cure.

This director’s warped sensibilities translate well on film and animation to which he has his own trademark collage animation style – from 1968 here is Terry’s Christmas Card to the world a wrong address:

Chinchin Mr Gilliam for bringing joy to the world!

David Attenborough – Wonderful World

•December 23, 2011 • Leave a Comment

This is an amazing video courtesy of an amazing BBC series, brought to us by an amazing human being indeed. There are many covers of Louis Armstrong’s What a Wonderful World, but these words never sounded more true coming from Sir David Attenborough himself, the world’s most prolific natural history film-maker ever known:

To honor the 85-year-old national treasure who just concluded narrating his final series on the BBC; David Attenborough’s spoken-word recording of Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World.”

I love watching the mating rituals of birds, especially the diverse birds of paradise from home, Papua New Guinea:

So special, the bird of paradise even represents our country on our national flag. But my most recent Attenborough adventure further acquainted me with one of my favorite creatures on the planet — The Komodo Dragon:

Thanks David Attenborough.

“Sketchi” by Lily Sun [animation]

A little girl’s beloved old dog passes away, but the girl won’t give up on him just yet. A bittersweet tale by Lily Sun reminding us that those we lost can live on in our minds. RIP Sketchi.

Yesterday when I came to work at 10AM, there was a suicide on the train tracks outside Middlemore Hospital. Every time I heard someone elses eye-witness account today of how they saw the woman standing then laying on the tracks and waiting for a good minute to get hit, all I could think to myself was, why didn’t they help? Tragic. Long day.

Prepare to have your mind blown! Movie posters have to convey a lot in a small space, so designers rely on certain themes, layouts and designs. Here are a few tried and tested ones, collected by Christophe Courtois:

Crazy huh? If it makes money though.
