the other night i woke up with the sound of banging sheet metal in my head.
and i often experience strange digital flashes of light, colour, and pattern in my sleep, or while falling asleep.

it's harmless, but quite unnerving.

eye candy!

Main Hoon Na

(that's a movie)
(have no idea what the title means)
(one of the weirdest movies i've ever seen)

Mike saw 5 minutes of this film on TV, and it looked like a Matrix inspired movie shot in India. So he added it to the ZipList so that we could watch the whole thing.

Indeed, the first few minutes were drama and action and a few Matrix-y moves. (i said that this was the Kmart version of the Matrix) Then there was the dramatic deathbed confession. Then the army major got sent to school to play a student to protect a girl and find his long lost brother. So now we're watching Indian 90210 / 21 Jump Street? Then a big musical number busts out... reminded me of Grease. (holy squid - watch for the long haired leather jacket guy with the plastic guitar who looks like Chong's son) Okay... and the lead dude looks like Ray Romano. And the punk ass kid is inspired by Van Wilder. One of the teachers is so gorgeous that her hair blows around all "Dreamweaver in Wayne's World" style... she's the eastern Catherine Zeta-Jones. There was a bit of Ferris Bueller, a bit of She's All That, a bit of drama, typical teenage stuff like the nerd crushing on the hot girl, a few more Matrix-y shots here & there. A whole bunch of other unintentional reminders of other movies. Damn, I should have made a list at the time.

Big musical numbers pop up at any time for no apparent reason. One of them has flashes of 80's video sets, and shampoo commercial classics.

There are English subtitles, but sometimes they break into english here & there, and it doesn't always quite match the subtitles. amusing. plus there are a few hilarious typos. Does he really want to untie the two countries?

Yes, the hero runs away from an explosion, all backlit from the orange flames. You're not an action star until you leap off a roof toward a helicopter.

To top it all off, this film had possibly the best ending credits ever. The cast danced around (another big musical number) holding signs (or t-shirts or newspapers) with their names on. Then we see the crew with their signs. I really like seeing the crew. It's easy to forget how many people work on a film, and they bust their asses too.

In short: Weirdest Film I've Seen This Year, and Totally Awesome.

Believe it or not, I've not given away much of the movie. please rent this. it's a blast!!! even if it's fully 3 hours long. those musical numbers add up.

can't breathe... laughing too hard...

Worst Album Covers EVER

scroll through and note the covers with the many armed drummer, the mullet king, the glitter... is that a track suit? and much much worse...

once again, lack of budget forces creativity

No money for a camera crew? No worries... a Manchester band played in front of surveillance cameras, then through the Freedom of Information Act, requested the footage. It's actually quite an interesting video, and very timely.

I find it fascinating that some of the most creative projects seem to evolve from lack of money, lack of time, lack of resources. It forces people to rethink everything they've ever thought. To reconstruct and cobble bits together. To blend old fashioned and new fashioned in seemingly odd ways.

Restrictions are food for your creativity. Like being forced to eat your broccoli.

Online Graffiti

This is far too amusing... go to paintthatshitgold.com then enter whatever website you like.

It lets you use gold (or silver or black) spraypaint or marker to deface the website.

Childish? Yes! Hilarious? Yes! Something funny to leave on coworkers screens if they leave their computer unlocked? Muah ha ha haaaaaa...

apparently, it's not illegal to deface money

...in Canada.
