Muppets: Bohemian Rhapsody

I know this clip is on every site on the internet right now, but I had to post it anyway. This is awesome on about ten different levels. I love the web.



Beeker: "Mee mee mee mee!"
chorus: "Galileo!"

This almost makes up for the fact that I never got to see Queen in concert. Almost.

Worst. Song. Ever: JLo's "Louboutins"

I'm not even going to link to this pile of crap, because once you realize this isn't a discarded SNL digital short, well...just the nasal, whiny "Ah'm throwin' on my Loobatons, Ah'm throwin' on mah Loobatons" over and freaking OVER. GOD. Good for you, you put some shoes on before storming out in a grand, trampling exit. Now stay gone, you humpy hoor.

Supernatural superfans at work

At left: Plastic Winchester Theatre! I love the caption: *fight is on* [Sam, naturally, is the one taken out early in the fight, as we all know he majorly sucks at hand-to-hand combat.]

Oh god, I am wiping tears from my eyes. Just discovered "Plastic!Winchester Theatre" a massive collection of hard/demented work a Supernatural superfan has done.

and totally unrelated to Plastic Winchesters, YouTubey goodness: "Supernatural - Do You Like Waffles?"

Hee. Oh, my sides hurt.

damn, October was fun

at left: the bourbon rack at Memphis Blues BBQ. Wound up October with vampires [Let the Right One In @ VIFC], roadside food [aforementioned bbq joint] and classic rock [Paint It Black] = a very Supernatural night.

I've been too busy having a life to actually write about it. I'd like to feel bad enough about it for a longer entry, but I don't. Let's just say that EVERY month should include two weeks holiday, your birthday and Halloween. And a three-paycheque month. And a huge-ass iMac!
Coming: reviews of the 20+ films seen in October, mostly festival fare. Woo.

-edited because I cannot spell today.

VIFF 2009 "Subtitles"

One of the funnier trailers running at this year's VIFF.

And so true. "Maybe." Hee.

make a wish...

At left: dream a little dream.

An evening walk on Saturday went from a milk run, to cream + brussels sprouts + of course, a digital camera. My own fucking fault for shopping on an empty stomach. When asked what my first picture would be [never owned a digital camera before], I was utterly stumped. I mean, ideally it would be a candid photo of Daniel Craig in my bed with a massive peen tenting the sheets, but whatever.

Walking home the long[ish] way round brought us to the part of the street completely duded up in full-on Halloween mode, thanks to another film crew. We stopped and watched a few takes, and then all of a sudden, all the film crew standing about looking Very Busy and Important suddenly looked up, waaay up, and even busted out digital cameras to film a very bright white light going very fast directly over us that turned out to be the International Space Station.

Oooh, pretty.

Then they quit fucking about and got back to work.

Here's a link to a cbc.ca story about a 400-strong group of University of Calgary students who used LED lights to flash the word dream in Morse code at the station as it flew by carrying UCalgary alum and Canadian astronaut Robert Thirsk. Then, they spelled it out in letters and finally created the shape of an eye that winked. Check it out on tonight's Daily Planet on the Discovery channel! The students plan to post their own clip on youtube and the univeristy website, so I'll update with the link to the no-doubt amazing video.

Okay, here 'tis: http://www.ucalgary.ca/news/utoday/september21-09/liftup

Awww.

Speaking of the Discovery Channel, here's a link to "The World Is Just Awesome" commercial [you know, the "boom-de-atta, boom-de-atta" one?].

"What's a Winchester sandwich?"

Oh, and the day you say, It's OK, I don't hafta wash my hair tonight, I'll just ponytail the ganky mass back and get one more day out of it? THAT will be the day the Supernatural crew comes to your 'hood to film. Trust me on this.
