My roommate and I have conversations while I'm at work. Usually they're in all caps. Usually they're something like this.

This week's episode is the result of me going in for a spinal MRI a little while back because of a slipped disc. Everything is OK now, for the most part, so do not fret, caring reader.

thefoolishtook:
well teddy bear, tell jen to answer her phone
me:

but I'll tell her to answer her phone

colonel sanders 'I have seen things no man should see. you sent me off to find new flavors but instead i have discovered alien horrors the likes of which cannot be explained.'

camera pans away, syrup sprays everywhere

Note: The last part of this conversation references a script that Greg & I have been writing as an ongoing project. We might end up posting it here some day... when we feel it's finished enough to share.

Sam Raimi - Drag Me To Hell

2008-07-21T19:26:00.000-07:00

Another Comic-Con recommendation:
3:45-5:15, Hall H
Universal Pictures presents key cast members, filmmakers, and previously unseen footage from its upcoming slate, including ~~Summer 2008's The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and Death Race. Additionally, the studio will showcase talent and materials from 2009 films such as Land of the Lost and~~ Drag Me to Hell.

This recommendation is almost entirely due to Sam Raimi's return to his signature style of horror twisted with a bit of comedy with his new movie, Drag Me To Hell. Raimi is supposed to be there to screen footage from the movie. I can't tell you whether or not I worked on what he's going to show.

"In Radiohead's new video for "House of Cards", no cameras or lights were used. Instead, 3D plotting technologies collected information about the shapes and relative distances of objects. The video was created entirely with visualizations of that data."

Whatever, it looks cool.

A Children's Hospital, that's what.

To support the efforts of a friend who has actually been to the Detroit Children's Hospital, I am spreading the word to get them kids a Fun Center. What's a Fun Center? According to the website:

Fun Centers are mobile units that provide endless entertainment and help turn worry into laughter and weariness into delight! Fun Centers feature a flat screen monitor, DVD player and a Nintendo® Wii. The Centers roll right up to a child’s bedside to provide hours of game play and movie watching.

In the spirit of such wonderful charities as Child's Play, I am making a push for Detroit. You know how much I support the kids and their video games.

The Pagan Force of Santa Claus Shines Through This Season

2007-12-17T10:59:00.001-08:00

Every season, we see the central-most section of the local malls cordoned off to become the Official Santa Zone Photo Experience Spectacular. Every year I look at the lack of lines for the highly produced faux winter scene, harboring a lonely Santa with the want of conversation poised in his eyes. The photo staff usually keep their 10-foot distance, never venturing past the comfort of the camera lens, only to discuss their own affairs over a shining digital screen full of children's dreams and, too often, nightmares. This is the holiday slice that is present in every winter's mall visit. Tradition for tradition's sake is cause for question, so with that in mind let's answer that question before tragedies like these strike again.

What can we do to stop the Santa Sadness?

The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust

2007-11-02T15:39:00.000-07:00

New album from Saul Williams, produced by Trent Reznor. Includes a surprisingly more than decent cover of "Sunday, Bloody Sunday". Sort of following the Radiohead/every-indie-band-you've-ever-heard-of business model, you can choose to pay for this music (a more than fair $5) or get it for free. Paying the $5 gets you a higher quality mp3, but the free ones are already 192kbps anyway, so... you make the choice. I'm going to pay the $5 because Saul Williams is dope as hell.

Executive Koala

2007-10-30T10:26:00.000-07:00

My god. I have found new inspiration in this world. Who says there's no such thing as an original idea any more? Although movies like Executive Koala could be cranking out of Japan on a regular basis, for all I know. This movie gained a lot of popularity in Japan and Australia , which is far too stereotypical to be ironic. Unfortunately, the film is only available without subtitles, which may or may not make it better. Only first-hand exposure will give real results. It will probably end up being something like The Ring, though, and turn us all into murdering salary-man koalas.

Anyway, Executive Koala, final review-- March of the Penguins meets American Psycho. All of the fluffy homicidal action you could want.

It's exactly what it sounds like. And these are just the pictures that could be found at the time. Just imagine how many more of these moments are out there, or that weren't even photographed.

Fetish or quirk? Either way, there's phenomenal video game potential.

Saw this hoody from Kid Robot and pretty much decided that I should become a rock star so they would give it to me for free instead of spending the actual bones to get it. Unless you're reading this, Kid Robot... in that case, I am a famous man and people will see me wearing your clothes. Give.

Great if you like songs about being sick in someone's mouth because you're drunk and you love them.
