Apparently there was a running joke on the set of Inglourious Basterds, whereby if a crew or castmember was caught sleeping, they would get their picture taken with a giant purple dildo, and that giant purple dildo was named Gerry:
Nice to know no matter how successful, famous, or creative you are, dildo humor never gets old.
Achuta …I love minimalism 😉
Why is HE the King of Crayons you ask yourself? Because it’s like Photoshop without a computer, and that takes royalty:
And because his artwork is crayolarific! [can I patent that word?] Also your Majesty, I think the general consensus about your work is “Funny, and too few.” My younger brother might even overthrow you 😉
Power Rangers is a long-running American entertainment and merchandising franchise, built around a children’s television series featuring teams of costumed heroes.
The Power Rangersconcept originated from the Japanese tokusatsu Super Sentai Series. Rather than making an English dub of the original, the American production team put together a “new” production with English-speaking actors spliced in with the original Japanese footage in varying ratios.
Looking back at the teenage superhero fantasy, of course it’s laughable, (None of these kids seem to question the fact that they’re getting instructions from a gigantic, incorporeal face floating inside a large smoke filled bong) but man what a golden lightning strike of genius The Power Rangers were, to last 16 years since 1993!
FYI the new episodes were filmed right here in New Zealand, and my mum played one of the creature goons on it. Uber awesome huh, actually it’s kind of ironic as she didn’t let me watch the show when it was aired… Ah sweet poetic justice. Love you internet!
The robots and fight scenes which none of the actors really did, are of course the coolest things about Power Rangers.
IceIceBabies has posted an intriguing ‘Where Are They Now’ look at The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. To give you a brief run down; one has become a successful TV drama actor, another is a paramedic, one died in a car accident and one was recently pulled over for DUI [drunk driving]. [click image]
After school TV was the best. Depending on your age, you’d get a healthy dose of cartoons, Saved By The Bell, and/or Power Rangers.
Since starring in a kid’s hit series isn’t exactly a sign of future success, let’s take a look at what became of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. [iceicebabies]

Bravo! A totally awesome video game Quintet with cosplaying, interpretive dance and homages to Zelda, Pokemon, Tetris, Super Mario and even Pong! PS: Epic Halo solo at 1:55
Order of performance: The Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, Halo, Tetris, Kirby, Pong, Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario World
A live performance for Seattle’s Marrowstone in the City program. The music was arranged by the genius Lennart Jansson (Link) and myself (Ash Ketchum). I choreographed all the extra bits behind us as we play as well as sang the Halo theme, of course. The Tetris bit is a tribute to the old a capella group that did game themes. Lennart is playing an ocarina there, and I’m drumming the top of my violin. Hope you enjoy ~ twitter.com/XxGenjaminxX
Go Gramps! Here’s a fun reminder that the best part of getting old is not giving a shit:
I’d like to quote a few good comments from Reddit:
This is approximately four kinds of awesome:
1 He is up on the technology enough to use the web = awesome
2 He is horny enough to find an escort = awesome
3 He is thrifty enough to find his escorts for free at the Apple store = awesome
4 He doesn’t give a fuck who sees him doing it = awesome
If you aren’t doing that at his age, you are doing life wrong.
Can you blame the guy? Its a sausagefest in there!
You’ve seen an F-22 go supersonic, but have you seen an FA-18 emerge from a concentrated cloud of blue vapor!
You have now. What kind of atmospheric conditions would lead to such an apparition? National Geographic has the answer:
Photographer Kirk McMenamin, who submitted this image to National Geographic’s “Your Shot” writes:
“This is a shot of an FA-18 performing a high-speed pass that resulted in a vapor cone forming around the back half of the plane. When viewed head-on, it made the plane appear to be coming out of a porthole. The photo was taken during the 2009 Gold Cup Races on the Detroit River.”
Cool huh. I did some research, and by research I mean I just used Google image search, and found a much clearer image of this phenomenon:
And this easy to understand diagram:

I saw some amazing films last year at Auckland’s 40th International Film Festival. The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters was an awesome viewing pleasure, but by far my favourite outstanding film was The Orphanage:
A woman who, with her husband and adopted son, returns to her hometown to fix up the orphanage where she grew up, only to find her son befriended by the ghosts that haunt it.
Normally such news would have me regurgitating past rants about remakes and prequels, but this might will be good …For anyone that has no interest in watching the original and reading subtitles at least, “America”.
The Spanish-language horror hit The Orphanage is getting a US remake, with Guillermo del Toro as producer and low-budget horror veteran Larry Fessenden at the helm. But why remake such a recent and critically acclaimed film?
The Orphanage earned ten times more abroad than it did from its US release, and New Line probably hopes to replicate the film’s foreign success at home.
So why not simply give these foreign films a bigger marketing push in the first place and avoid the cost of remaking them? It’s likely another example of studios playing it safe with stories that are already hits instead of taking risks on fresh scripts. As Bayona himself said after his film’s release:
“The Americans have all the money in the world but can’t do anything, while we can do whatever we want but don’t have the money…The American industry doesn’t take chances, that’s why they make remakes of movies that were already big hits.”
The project is in search of a lead actress.
Even Oldboy is getting an Americanization – Is nothing sacred?! At least with del Toro attached it will be ok.

You’ll pay for this photoshop hoaxers! This maybe just nostalgia talking, but I would LOVE to see a Captain Planet movie, in 3D!
The above image is making the rounds on the internet lately along with claims that a Cap’n movie is on the way, possibly in 2010. Now let us crush your dreams. First of all, the location of said poster is allegedly at the Comic Con WB booth. We certainly didn’t see it and neither did the hundreds of fans and journalists all on the floor. What we did see that the WB booth were these posters:
Notice the lack of Planet? Even if they did post this mysterious poster after preview night, I’m pretty sure someone out there would have noticed. [

Did you know, that as well as there being an established Captain Planet Foundation charity, it boasted a number of celebrity guest actors with the likes of Jeff Goldblum, Sting, Tim Curry, Martin Sheen and Meg Ryan voicing the villains. Whoopi Goldberg played Gaia, the Planeteers’ mentor and Spirit of the Earth, and was apparently replaced by Margot Kidder midway through the series.
Definitely one of my favourite opening sequences EVER – and just listen to that theme song!
Make it happen Hollywood – I mean the chrome-skinned guy had green-mullet-hair, come’on! And it would be more entertaining than say, talking Hamsters or Aliens in the Attic/Jonas Brothers shit.
Now and forever, no one will ever dispute that this man isn’t Awesome! Just read that Awesome header. And he’s only 20! Awesome!
20 year old Chinese farmer Wu Zhongyuan built himself a helicopter using only what he remembers from middle school physics lessons and “relevant knowledge [found while] surfing the Internet via my mobile phone.”
Well, sure looks like things worked out. His single-seater conveyance has blades made from the wood of an Elm tree, a frame reinforced with steel pipes and uses an engine from a motorcycle — all for around $1,600. Wu claims the ‘copter can get him as high as 2,600 feet [800 metres], though it seems he’s grounded for the time being as the Chinese government has forbid him to fly because of safety reasons.
Wu Zhongyuan, whose father Wu Xizhao, pegs him as a gadget lover who would always take things apart, says that he “had this dream from childhood of not needing to climb mountains anymore. I wanted to go to school in my own flying machine.” [Dvice]
Talk about dream killers; Let the man fly!
FPS “Call Of Duty: World at War” is graphically impressive, but I didn’t care much for the old war style gameplay. Although once the main campaign is clocked, a new mission is unlocked:
You’re trapped and cornered in a small room as zombies slowly advance. You’re armed and meant to kill them before they tear down the barricaded windows and enter. Survive the first wave of zombies and you move on to the next wave, hopefully with more money to buy more ammunition or a new gun, and enough time to barricade the windows back up again.
You can unlock three other sections of the house once you have killed enough zombies and earned enough money, but beware; more space to ‘run and gun’ means more windows and ledges for zombies to enter and surround you.
I think it’s a bloody great WWII zombie occult angle…
And I’m TOTALLY FUCKING ADDICTED!!!
You may be wondering what zombies are doing in a World War II game, well Executive producer Daniel Suarez has your answer:
“It was one of the pet projects of one of the designers. The seed of the idea came out of casual [tower] defence games online. It was something that they [developer Treyarch] had been working on for a while and went back to when they had time.”
“Nazi Zombies was sort of this rumour, and everybody would be like, ‘Nazi zombies? What Nazi zombies?’ The designers would sort of chuckle in the back corner and be like, ‘I don’t know what that is.’ And then one day it all of a sudden appeared in a build and it got so much traction internally.”
“All of the QA guys, the marketing guys, even the PR guys became big fans. So we decided to save it and announce it [the week of Halloween on GameTrailers]. It was a project of love that a lot of guys had a hand in.”
