"Gushing Eye-Blood"...FX.

Sometimes (most times?) I wonder if I'll EVER get to do (read: get paid to do...) a scene with "gushing eye-blood" fx.
I can only hope... *sigh*

"Throwback Thursday" @ NiceKicks!

I'm definitely feeling the "Throwback Thursdays" over @ NiceKicks!

Last Thursday's offering of the "Nike Air Flight High" (..."Air Flight '89" to da kiddies!), brought back some fond memories...



Waxing nostalgic every week over the "butter-back-in-the-day", puts not just a little smile on my soul (...um...sole?).
Aah good times, good times... *sniff*

"The Furry Nazi (...or "Yezi") Experiment!"

At last! Photographic evidence of the, (and I'm supposing here...and don't feel the need to correct me if I'm wrong...), ambitious, yet short-lived experiment...and a pre-cursor to the "Man-Panzee".

Treeson x Mimobot...."Wired!"

Treeson and Mimobot's latest offering has just been featured in WIRED...

Bubi Au Yeung's Treeson

"...the design of this treeson mimobot is not easy than i expect, esp the implementation of those irregular spikes on a smooth mimobot platform. Maybe this is the reason that treeson look a bit special."
--Bubi (milkjar sketch blog)

...a "bit" special? I say it looks TOTALLY special!

And just on a side note, I seriously ask myself sometimes, how many Mimobot flash drives do I really *need*?
And the answer? Prolly not that many...
But how many do I *WANT*?
ALL OF THEM!!!

The only way this could get awesome-er (I KNOW that's not a word), is that if it was in the same scale as the "Ultimate Collector's Millenium Falcon".
But perhaps that's asking too much.

R.I.P. George Carlin.

Iconoclastic comedian George Carlin,
"...Who Chafed at Society and It's Constraints, Dies at 71." --NewYorkTimes

Pictured here is Carlin's (in-?)famous arrest (and mugshots) in 1972 after a performance of his monologue "Seven Words You Can't Say on Televison"...which led to the subsequent FCC, Supreme Court rulings...

"So my name is a footnote in American Legal history, which perversely I'm kind of proud of." --George Carlin

Here's a 1978 performance of:
"Seven Words"
*Warning: The following video contains explicit words...seven of 'em, in fact. (...well, nine if you count 'fart' and 'turd'. Which I don't.)

R.I.P. Stan Winston...

I just heard...
...and I'm *still* in shock.

The Oscar-award winning special effects guru passed away on Sunday after a battle with "multiple myeloma" (a blood-cancer). He was 62.

Stan Winston's special effects has definitely had a profound impact on my celluloid experience over the years, as I'm sure it has in countless others who've ever seen *any* of his films.
(...CG? SCHMEEGEE! I've always loved it when Winston kicked it "old school"! Respect.)

Stan Winston, you will be missed.

Demotivator.

Ok, ok...I'll stop playing silly-buggers with the "Automotivator" .
Soon.
(...or, at the very least, do it right.)

Our 4 y.o.s. has just gotten into "Lego Star Wars" on the 360, and I started to explain to him the allure (...um...to some folk...not to me of course...ahehe...) of "Slave Leia" ...and promptly stopped.

Perhaps letting him watch the flicks will provide better insight...when he's older.
