LOVE this photo of some young heavily inked guy (check the lightsabre on his side) fucking his AT-AT
it comes from this post as an extension of the tracker map shown below
I recommend in the Katrina Blows post you check out the Star Wars original cut...
is funny.
Just for those of you who have questioned my blog's reaching capabilities recently here is a map
that shows who-ish and where and when people have accessed my blog... (I can only use this feature by the way cos my blog receives less than 50,000 visitors a day... or is that 5,000 I can't remember) anyways check it out... people all over the world have read my blog is that exciting?
or should my pants still be clean?
UPDATE:
this site seems to picking up a few readers (I reckon they prolly only fell in here by mistake) but excitement levels peaked when I noticed my first Australian visitor from Melbourne!!
I have arrived.
Love this:
But at the same time I cannot think about cheese without thinking of dear ol' Wallace
and how excited I still am about the forthcoming
Gotta say ...LOVE the bionic man sound effect when they spring off of those boards...
Love bein a geek as well.
Fashion is such a lucrative business I thought I'd grab myself a slice of the cow bum...
This site
lets you 'design' your own t-shirts and then sell them from your website (or others) for whatever price you deem fit which would be cool only essentially it just seems to be a site where you can load a central image for printing on the centre (ooh musn't forget to mention the back TOO...) of a plain t-shirt usually just white too, which all seems slightly dull to me...
the picture above is just one of the designs I would like to unleash upon the fashion world but I cannot do it through this website...
However what I can do is print lots of naked men or gay porn onto baby-gro's... I wonder how well they would sell.
Wanna know what was number one on the day you were born?
Who wouldn't?
After you have visited this site you may think otherwise...
I only say that because the song that was number one when I was born was:
I love you love me love by Gary Glitter...
Being born in this week of this year marks me as a pervert apparently...
Alternatively in America it was Photograph by the fabulous Ringo Starr who I just recently (and for the first time) watched in The Magic Christian with Peter Sellers and a whole host of names and I was completely blown away by the whole thing; it was bizarre and funny, preposterously dated but it still totally stood up and I enjoyed the shit out of it... I might just have to buy it on DVD.
Even though
rips it to bits he does understand it and if you can understand this guy's stance and watch the film and find it funny anyway then come on over to my house for an acid-bong part-ay...
cos it's also a good review of the brilliant Batman Begins... the first link that is not the second.
Glad to see this site is still going...
thought I would check it out after being thouroghly disappointed at the inexplicable demise of pinstruck.com,
Dunno if any of you are familiar with the Channel 4 programme Nathan Barley but it started on this website as a T.V. programme called Cunt.
And it is beyond fabulous... the website that is.
This particular issue has some delights, in particular Medieval Coronation Street in which Les (one presumes Battersby) is run through with a pitchfork after being caught sodmising a pig in the forest... and buboes?? answers on a postcard please.
Lovin it.
Go Figure.
You can no longer catch the new video for Starsailor's new tune here:
so don't bother trying...
have changed their website all around AGAIN and they do insist on people registering and logging in and it's one huge inconvenient pain the fucken ass... but if you want to watch music videos online or hear albums before they have been released then you like me will register and login every fucken time.
You can however still catch the audio for the Starsailor track that was linked to above at NME's website and they do now have Bloc Party's new video which is pretty cool (can't wait for their remix album to hit the shops) only the new and 'improved' NME website has a media player that doesn't, play any kind of media that is... it has a small disclaimer underneath it saying it will be available soon!!!
Bunch of rank fucken amateurs running the site by the looks of things then... who in their right minds? I mean knowing you are about to overhaul your website and that the media player is a pretty heavily used piece of your website then why would you implement the new website without the features that people regularly used on the old website?
fucken rubbish.
Ok it's up and running now but still only the audio for this tune...
UPDATE:
you can also catch the video for the fabulous Arcade fire
and I imagine this was pretty special: Wish I was there.
This is amazing news:
More for the point if you take into consideration the few that would never get to go and see this sort of thing in it's original setting due to many factors can now experience a wonder in their own backyard so to speak...
Lascaux
I'd love to see the original thing but as I can't I will be going to check this out when it hits town, not quite the same as camping out for the weekend and exploring caves but fuck me dead how exciting to see something so primeval in a place as 'culturally' advanced as London... a place that hides it's true vitriol in polite conversation, ironic then to experience this 'primitive beauty' in such 'advanced savagery'.
This has to be one of the best things I think I have ever seen the net being used for, strange to think that a technology that is reasonably new and an application that is pretty revolutionary in a capitalist economy could possibly create real communities where thousand year old religions that claim a social good do little more than divide... and ultimately conquer.
Freecycle London
I have to say though this service has far more potential than getting hold of useful stuff for free:
people are using it to ask for volunteers, instruction and advice.
I am stunned at the potential of this service, Crybaby in particular take note of this service as it has MANY applications in connection to your film project: props, location shoots and possibly even extras, equipment and staff...
Also for this service in particular I would possibly recommend a whole new e-mail address cos if you sign up you will get tonnes of emails daily, whereas one necessity is that you will need a yahoo account and profile, but then hey if you don't have one you can also get a free email account with yahoo that you can then use to deal with all the email you will be receiving.
And trust me I cannot believe the stuff that has been offered this week alone: cars, computers, a rocking horse, Gothic lightbox and old stage make-up and more than that, plus its ALL free!!
Fucken excellent
P.S. anyone outside of London should prolly start searching for their community here:
On the left is a menu to search for your location if you aint listed try the international link...
and happy trading.
This site (sight) is so fucken cool for so many reasons, it doesn't do much per se but the work that has gone into this and the idea behind it just warms me cockles it's a bit like a thesaurus in colour.
IMHO.
Usually these things have to be taken with a very large pinch of salt but...
a few months ago someone had reportedly caught and killed what they think could be a chupacabra... and the photo above is the result of that but then someone else traps another 'chupacabra' just like last week or so...
Click on slideshow for pictures
which is either a HUGE coincidence or these things finally want their piece of the media pie.
Shame they are dead then.
Or is it just another Henson workshop scam?
You know what those buggers are like for public deception.
Fucken muppets... they're not real you know...
UPDATE:
this is either cool or stoopid and I can't really make up my mind... yay for recycling boo on the disposable culture
Yay for flowers boo for companies wasting precious resources just to pump new products into the market every fucken 'season' sweetie.
Don't ya just hate a sell-out?
If the answer is yes then feel free to hate Phillip Pullman: author of 'His Dark Materials' trilogy; Mr. Pullman originally wrote his trilogy as a response to C.S. Lewis's
novels or more specifically to the Christian ethos that Lewis invests in his stories, at least thats what Mr. Pullman himself said on a South Bank special all about his trilogy.
So he wrote the trilogy (which for the first two books is amazing but he does cop and sell-out in the third mess - doesn't deserve the title book) specifically to address issues of faith against knowledge, he doesn't entirely succeed but the first two books are beautiful.
Anyways now they are making a film of the first book 'Northern Lights' and I will watch it purely because it is a great story but... the rub...
Well in order to pull in money from the American markets (where I believe the film is being funded) all references to God are being removed???
WTF?
what is the fucken point??
and slightly insulting to the members of the American populace who can cope with people holding different views on faith and sit through their argument without thinking it sacreligious or worth imposing fatwas over...
DEAR GOD!!!
...
They are doing a similar thing with the Davinci Code - not a book I have or will ever read but it's stoopid to adapt a book for the big screen if you are going to change things so fundamentally...
why not just adapt a story that doesn't deal with God and leave those stories for people with courage and vision to adapt, people who are not accountants... cos let's face it the reason this shit gets changed is viability for it's market... in other words, money.
The worse thing about the Pullman tragedy (being called the Golden Compass - dumbing down much?) is that he is on board working on the film version that isn't about God which his books are and he is said to be HAPPY with it????
What a cunt.
This is truly big brother gone mad:
I know since the whole terrorist shite that we have recinded an entire shit-load of our civil liberties voluntarily,
which is scary enough on it's own but
This shit
is beyond terrifying, if true.
Thank god SOMEBODY in the hip-hop community has finally come out and said it:
had anyone else said it they would prolly have been accused of racism but
at the end of the day both communities need to wake up to the division.
And I for one praise the man.
And I don't like his music but hey, I'll try a little harder from now on...
Now I feel like it was a marketing exercise to gather pink pounds...
Only I don't really.
This article just reaffirms for me that I am a woman mentally...
I have just spent the past twenty years in denial...
Really though this sort of crap bores me but there are a few good ones in here:
numbers: 9, 11, 19, 21, 24 and 37.
The best though (IMHO) go to numbers 27 and 32.
This is a really cool site that gives you some idea into the distance of the stars between other objects in the galaxies.
Cosmic Scales
And even if you have some idea of the vast scale involved you can't help but learn from these pictures that show the distance invovled in relative terms... which is always helpful to the small thinking brain that is the humanoid creature.
Why can it never be the ones you want?
always the bloody uglies...
Still even if it was the one you wanted guaranteed they'd already be going out with another boy-band member.
Cunts.
So has Atlantis finally been discovered?
Or does it remain nothing but a dreamers' paradise?
sitting on the fence hurts your balls...
All a man needs apart from sex??
All a man needs...
As far as I'm concerned anyways.
But I will agree with helping me dance although only since 1986...
and that is just the pictures; the stories are slightly different:
Why does this sort of shit never happen to me?
And I mean being near a train that crashes full of beer not being robbed of a shipment of my finest produce for the year...
not like I feel sorry for them (the producers who are insured to their shit!)
I really don't... just myself: cos it was in South Africa and not South London and I got no free beer... there is no justice in the world!
Or maybe there is?
Ya GOTTA love the South Park Boys;
offending EVERY sensibility they can get their hands on.
I hate to say I have a slight crush on Trey Parker; check him out in rubber in Orgazmo: beautiful boy...
Which brings me neatly(?) onto this link which is Matt Stone's character (I think he's the Dave the lighting guy) espousing his totally straight credibilities and 'offering advice' in the little known (and not so vastly underrated) Orgazmo.
I can't help but love it when there are such choice lines as 'soul-soliciting pig-fuckers' and more too numerous to list here without detracting from the film's appeal.
Ah! If my 'friends' could see me now...
They'd prolly guess that I'd been drinkin.
No surprise on the difference in perspective between cultures; but kinda interesting to have certain parts of those differences defined:
East meets West and complimented it on it's outfit
Who'da thought that greed was pursued by goal-driven westeners?
Amazing revelatory stuff...
well credit where it's due (and sarcasm aside):
some hicks might never be privvy to this sort of revelation so maybe there is no stating of the obvious; because not everything is obvious to everyone...
Anyone who read the JLA in the 80's would understand that Fire and Ice are a team but in the world of physical reality who'da thunk it?
Kinda cool and any survival tips in front of the pending nuclear holocaust are always handy...
The things that you're liable to read in the bible...
They aint necessarily so...
But I love the angle this guy is taking: complete in your face challenge of the 'truth' of the bible;
Unicorn turds indeed
I wonder if anyone has bought any?
This is all rather strange; if as might be derived from the second link some of this shit is true then thank god for simplicity.
However unlikely it may seem, some of it blatant propoganda but if true who will be credited with the 'discovery'?
Russians claim on Crop-circles
But did the weathermen or the Japanese get there first?
It'll end up like the whole lightbulb/penicillin thing: Thomas Eddison didn't invent the lightbulb it was a German; penicillin is credited to Alexander Fleming when it was actually discovered by a scientist who liked to watch young (male) horseriders who would rub the mould from the saddles in between their thighs (I would be watching but missing the scientific discovery I'm sure - my hormones have a lot to answer for) to appease riding sores (they had been doing it for hundreds of years). The scientist in question actually sent his findings to Fleming but apparently they were never read and Fleming actually re-discovered penicillin himself, the scientist who originally documented the healing properties of this mould? To me now nameless and to history (almost) also.
I love to present real facts with conviction and no proof...
I'm on a mission:
Convert to Whoozee he'll give you what you need.
Fuck what you want.
Ok... I submit
here is a tint of proof:
although this only shows that Fleming was accepting input and writings and that there were even MORE people who had realised the moulds' properties before he had.
Okay...
this a response post:
Crybaby I only just read the post you pinned up on the creationist post I put up way back when and I'm sorry I hadn't followed your progress closely enough to respond sooner...
I am as you say a lazy blogger.
Anyways I can't believe you know of The Onion! (all hail foot!)
I remember these from way back I have a book of collected publications:
'Loved ones recall Local Man's Cowardly battle with Cancer'
'Tenth Circle Added To Rapidly Growing Hell... the expanded inferno... Oprah Viewers Patiently Awaiting Instructions'
'Terrorist Extremely Annoyed By Delayed Flight'
'NFL Star Thanks Jesus After Successful Double Homicide'
'Homoerotic Overtones Enliven NRA Meetings'
2001!... god seems too old for my recollection am I really getting that old so fast?
Who knew they were still going?
Only the faithful, the wise, the informed, the dull? or the old? who could say?
All I can say is not me... and I could be some of those things... and I could not be the others...
Ha!
Maybe there's something I could re-offend with in it...
'Graphic Designer's Judgement Clouded By Desire To Use New Photoshop Plug-In'
it's in there; I wish I were insightful enough to script it myself, alas no.
interesting...
>snigger<.
The most exciting movie event in recent history!
For me anyways.
When I read V for Vendetta as a young lad it blew me away: it was my first introduction to Alan Moore, not to take away from David Lloyd at all, but anyone who is anyone knows Moore is a genius and praise the lord for him...
although admittedly he hasn't had much success with adaptations to screen and tends to take nothing to do with them before, during or after.
I am hoping that; with Natalie Portman (beautiful in everything I've seen of her except Padme - Star wars - who was really good in the sweet little film 'Garden State' recently), she so purdy, and Stephen Fry on the job, the script is up to scratch. Pray for good post production because this is one story that deserves to be treated well.
you can find the trailer here:
I'm so fucken excited.
Another exciting prospect of a film if ever there was: Philip K. Dick's A Scanner Darkly.
The very nature of the novel is schizophrenic and the way the filmakers have chosen to represent these elements is with animated scenes, more precisely the scenes look like they've been painted over with some software program rather than animated in any sense.
Any Terry Gilliam film is going to be an event; the man is a god to me.
But how exciting that the subject of his next film (I don't mean Matt Damon) is the fabulous Brothers Grimm.
This is one to see at a cinema.
A cinema that sells beer obviously.
Who says lightning doesn't strike twice?
Is he lucky to have survived or unlucky to have been hit so often?
14 million to one my arse! I even know what the numbers are... would it be worth playing them myself in the british lotto?
Lighting is as habitual a creature as the rest of us apparently...
Go figure.
This is a funny little site asking you to put in your body weight and your particular choice of poison, to deliver the proposed amount of lethal caffeine.
I have to say what really made this site for me was the comments page (which due to it's popularity has had to be moved to another page so as not to compromise the first pages' bandwidth), check out the comments page man people are hateful!
I say that like I'm surprised.
I'm not, but it is funny how most of the people on-line use any opportunity to slag off other people with such limited knowledge and little real information.
Some of the statements are hilarious and it is interesting to note how many people drag the arguments down to points of punctuation and grammar but my favourite has to be Scott a young American telling other people to learn to use English properly; a language the man himself has less than a passing aquaintance with.
Although it does go everywhere and the old favourites are all there: WWI & WWII, Imperial Vs. Metric, American ignorance and Delusions of superiority and the good old small-minded xenophobia displayed by people with more bandwidth than intelligence.
Is it funny or really depressing?
All a matter of perspective I say.
And funny.
Go figure.
So one of my favourite writers (Neil Gaiman) and a script-writer from pulp fiction (Roger Avary)! Have collaborated to give us a screenplay for a new film based upon the poem of Beowulf; Ray Winstone as Beowulf should be fun if nothing else, the suitably creepy Crispin Glover is to play Grendel but even more suitably is Angelina Jolie playing his mother... how fitting? John Malkovich in a so-far undisclosed role, interesting cast-list to say the least.
Anyways it's being filmed as a performance capture animation piece and I for one am extremely interested to see how it turns out.
2007 seems so far away right now.
Funny little short
with really good graphics...
check the highlights and shadows on the blue man.
Trying hard to place the reference tho'
This is a REALLY cool site; you can't beat information in pictures for the MTV generation...
Basically it's a site showing various bits and pieces of information on globes.
World views
Thing about something like this is it only makes me think that someone should put all these sorts of information databases into an actual model of the world and I bet it would provide more answers to economic/food/dogma problems than all the sociologists/theologians and politicians combined.
But then having the answers doesn't automatically mean that the holders of power in our ever-increasingly corrupt society would allow them to be acted upon.
How long before people truly realise their power and emancipate themselves from their strange aspiration to oppression? (and how long until I stop blogging pissed?)
Another thing about this particular site is that you can't help but be amazed at some of the statistics in display concerning Japan; I particularly like the satellite shot and the colour of the electrical light buzzing off of Japan as opposed to somewhere like India where you imagine most of the light on display may be firelight...
Fascinates the shit outta me.
Sweet little animation basically re-affirming the charge that children are scary:
watch it twice.
I like the style in this short animation piece; nice colours, some of the compositions are beautifully and thoughtfully shot and the idea, problem and conclusion are all divinely simple:
It is a bit sad tho'
Some bright spark has synched Sun-Ra and his Arkestra doing the pink elephant song from Dumbo over the sequence from the film; one of the best sequences of any Disney film.
This was way back when they were innovators obviously and not the cynical mass-marketing machine it is today.
Maybe someone could synch Belly Doing Trust in me over the top of the sequence with the snake in Jungle book, and then who knows maybe a whole website with covers of Disney tunes synched over the original clips from the films.
Nick Cave sings when you wish upon a star from Pinocchio...
ah... that one I just made up.
But it would be funny.
Italy is nice this time of year I hear
Do you remember when
Crack was cool 1989 apparently.
And with the news that the loophole which allowed people to buy 'magic' mushrooms legally has now closed and that the war on drugs is failing
Isn't it about time drugs were legalised?
then the tax revenues could help to pay for the health problems drug abuse inevitably delivers.
This website offers some help to those parents who think their child may grow up to be a raving homo:
With tips on how to reinforce gender stereotypes.
What a bunch of short-sighted bigoted cunts, to quote the film Chasing Amy:
"what is it about a gay man that sends the world screaming?"
slightly inaccurate quotation but I don't have the film to hand
Although it is one of the things left in modern society that offends the bible bashers and the wannabe-macho without either the bible bashers realising that the bible is a POLITICAL document and NOT written by 'GOD'; the whole man shall not lie with man was an inclusion of a pope (I'm thinking Gregory) to stem the rampant homosexuality in the decadent Roman Empire and to promote procreation as the Empire's numbers had started to dwindle upon the recognition (amongst the citizens of ancient Rome) that each sex can pleasure it's own better than the opposite; or the macho bearers of masculinity recognising that by objecting so whole-heartedly they put in question their own reasons for such vehement opposition, as it tends to be a case of methinks she doth protest too much; pure projection upon their own insecurities of sexuality.
People are being killed for this belief and I think it is about time we had a gay vigilante killing the ill-educated and battering the bigoted, riot-poof was the name Tori Amos attributed to this idea and I for one would be glad to assume the mantle.
I mean this is even without taking into account the religious stance being taken against evolution.
The idea that gayness is an answer to some evolutionary blindspot has barely been touched upon, all things in nature have a reason for being there; explore the avenues don't block them off as dead-ends.
Although I still can't see a reason for wasps!
Allegedly they are cleaners of crap, I still don't buy it.
Go Figure.
From first hearing Munich I knew I was gonna love this band
and they have not disappointed
This album is ALL I am listening to right now:
A lot of bands replicating that Joy Division atmospheric right now with limited or no success
The Editors along with Interpol have IMHO captured the essence (check out open your arms).
Highlights of this album (according to me anyways) are
obviously Munich;
much more so than the second single Blood
Lights is a good track
All sparks is cool
but Bullets is easily the best track.
I Love the Raveonettes
Who wouldn't after last year's stonking 'Great Love Sound' which contains the immortal line:
"changing your strut when you know I'm behind you"
Fuckin A-1 class...
well here you can hear the newest offering from them
This is a funny little clip on the 'church' of scientology
probably putting the guy doing it right in the firing line for their 'Fair Game' policy
and I have to say
Beck I am surprised at YOU!
Fair enough John Travolta and Tom Cruise are avid followers but then they are scared the truth about their sexuality might creep out without the protection of their 'church',
So what do they have on Beck?
Well what can I say?
I had the most intense experience last night...
Obviously I didn't go to bed as I would never have got up out of bed even had I woken in the morning...
No I decided to sit it out from the other end...
It was amazing even with all the light pollution in London the sky was ablaze last night, the clouds kept a respectable distance between each other to allow the spectacle of the meteor showers through.
and the hours flew by with plenty of strange shaped clouds to fill in the gaps between meteors.
I felt like a kid camping out for the first time sleeping under the stars and it was utterly exhilirating seeing the first meteors streaking through the atmosphere.
Next year I am gonna see them from a mountain top miles from any light pollution...
A couple of planes flew over during the height of the display and I couldn't help but wonder what if anything could be seen from the plane...
I imagine it was spectacular.
I love being a geek.
Found this silly little clip from
It comes from an old Canadian show called Kids in the hall that I used to watch when I was young, I wonder where the other three who didn't get a part in Will and Grace or The Larry Sanders show went to... guaranteed one's in gay porn coz he was a really bad actor but kinda geeky cute.
If proof is needed
that the human race is evil and greedy:
poachers have been overworking the ivory stocks so much that all that is left are the tuskless few who then by breeding actually start a new line of faulty-gened elephants with no tusks... it would be slightly gratifying knowing that they (the poachers) have effectively destroyed their own resources if it wasn't for the price paid by the elephants themselves.
Someone should book this guy...
Richard and Judy where are you?
Seriously though what is this guy under???
I would love it to be true only then here I am slagging off the Aliens' representative on earth... which may not be good when they get here...
Unless they are watching me right now!!!
This is what I like to see...
Hateful vigilantism
Power to the people
I like the bit where it says that the guy saw it as his right to spam people 'That's what e-mail is for' I think were his words
Yeah and just as much as it IS his right to invade people in such a relentless and aggressive manner
It is also someone else's right to take offence at his actions and bash his fucken head right in...
the world aint all bad then...
I love reading up on all the latest findings of studies on drugs like cocaine cos it is interesting to know why it affects people the way it does...
The last report I read told of how Cocaine abuse affects the reward centres in the brain and heavy users effectively lose their sense of wrong and right
This report tells how cocaine abuse can prevent adaptation and where the cocaine-fuelled rats in the study had responded quicker in the first trials and got the food first; when the rules were changed they took longer to understand the change.
Half the fun with blogging this sort of report tho' is the serendipitous finding of what can only be described as a plethora of interesting bits and pieces, try putting cocaine into google's image search and you will be presented with all manner of advertising from long long ago:
Coca-cola for when you feel tired,
Cocaine drops for toothache etc.
Then there were the Bush photos, LOADS of photos of George Dubya with a heavily powdered nose and links like this:
Beam me up Scotty...
Ya cannae change the laws of physics
I know this happened last month but I felt it deserved a blog;
The first scot in intergalactic space travel has reached his final destination.
