LOST fans, you guys have GOT to check out this series of imaginary character designs by my friend slaterock, aka Michael Blaine Myers Jr.. They are SO MUCH FUN, and my face goes like this ( :D ) every time he posts a new character.
I love Lethal Weapon. I love Die Hard. I've been watching all 4 Lethal Weapon movies on TV today while I work, even though the DVDs are sitting right next to the TV. I made a chart. Nobody cares.
I just realized that tomorrow will mark the one year anniversary of the "I Can Read Movies" Series. Yowza! I can't believe it's already been a year. I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has enjoyed and supported the series all this time. Thank you so very much!
You know what? I think this celebration calls for a delicious Mrs. Fields cookie cake. Who wants a frosting piece?! Raise your hand! :D
I want to see Her Gaga-ness in Detroit so bad, but I missed out on tickets because I'm a maroon. I should take a cue from Zack and Screech and just spend the night in the mall next time.
Speaking of which, you've got to hear this totally 80s disco remix of Bad Romance like NOW- if you're into that sort of thing. If there was a gay nightclub circa 1985 in my dreams, the DJ would put this record on right after Rene & Angela's "I'll Be Good", and I would nearly spill my drink trying to make my way to the light-up dance floor before all the good lookin' ladies were taken.
"Hollywood vs. New York: Four decades of celluloid New York annihilation distilled into one musical montage."
Not only is this montage of movie destruction more fun than a barrel of exploding monkeys, I think the genius of it was setting the whole thing to Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue". See if you can guess which featured movie is my favorite!
I've been thinking that it would be really fun to design some imaginary pictograms for the 2086 Futurelympics- like Otl Aicher's legendary designs for the 1972 Munich Games, and Nikolai Belkow's smoother updates for the 1980 Olympics in Moscow- so I'm gonna give it a try! You might even be able to tell what sports I had in mind with these cruddy sketches, if you squint really hard.
Can you think of any sci-fi movie sports that need to be represented or made up for the occasion? I definitely think Mecha-Basketball is in order. All the action and excitement of the NBA, mixed with the total radness of Robot Jox.
Ahh, yes! Christmastime is in the air, and you know what that means. Jingle bells and merriment abound, a thousand little lights bring their magical glow to every snow-covered neighborhood street, and Spacesick's totally electrifying "I Can Read Movies" art inspired by the movie Blade Runner is available as part of the second annual Nakatomi Invitational!
That's right! This is the first time EVER that art from the "I Can Read Movies" Series has been made available anywhere. And the T-shirt and art print are limited to 100 each, so get em while their hot!
This moldy old book has seen better days, but boy what an awesome movie! I couldn't tell you how many times I watched my copy of The Wizard as a kid... on Betamax... taped off TV... but knowing that number could help scientists explain why I am the way that I am. Such a great cast! And as far as hour and a half long toy commercials go, I don't know if it can get much better than this.
