Dodo Ogopogo Quagga Cadbury


Ok so here we go...
I hate to re-iterate but it's all down to economy of time... mostly laziness; but then sleep IS important... more important than anything I know, although some things do drip through into one's conciousness. Whilst others evade it completely.

Some though, no matter the construction or origin, deserve better than this.

Crop circles again


And worse than being a repeated subject it is a repeated picture with only the slightest modification... but again with the lazy... Go figure.

Anyways... on with the post...

Recent(ish) news from a 'crop circle expert' opens new conspiracies...

Whilst revelations from the KGB Files finally made public do nothing to solve the issue either way.

Resolving my own issues however I have included in this post two other possible posts without creating new pictures or story links... which I know are tenuous at best, but this way I needn't care for even that tenacity...

And so on with the post...

Let's dip into the scientific community seein' as how we are almost there already; there has been a marvellous breakthrough in the world of geek technology... when they make one of Ben Cohen I'll be there...

Sorry where was I? Oh yeah... Science stuff some of which can be deemed useless by personal need and some of which exceed all lifestyles.

Some of which are just car-crash news, some sympathy votes, something I should've posted a wee while ago and some things no-one can escape.

Whilst finishing on something that should worry/cause riotous laughter to anyone reading it.

Long Holiday season


Am I the world's laziest blogger/person? It has been a month almost since my last post but what can I say? I have had plenty to blog about, but now I have thrown most of it away as old/uninteresting news due to the lack of desire to work hard... I apologise to my regulars but learn now that I am a lazy bastard and forever hold your piece...

Anyways...
I welcome myself back with enthusiasm as I always enjoy seeing myself...
And I would like to introduce my faithful followship to the delight that is Max Cannon, I'm not sure how often the work is updated but there are some real fucken gems in there;

Red Meat

My favourite character (and it is hard to pick) has to be Milkman Dan.

Check 'em out tho' some are piss yourself funny.

X-men 3


I have been storing information ever since I first read the script leakage way back in June on aint it cool news.
I have diligently kept track of all the false leads and red herrings strewn on the path to this production, and I am happy (now that the teaser-trailer is online) to finally present my thoughts on the up and coming X-men 3.

I am slightly disappointed that the mutant Leech will not be the small green mutant that we comic readers are familiar with... we have already seen Artie in the second film and he wasn't pink with big eyes (which is a real fucken shame - it's probably the best thing about the pair) but then I was slightly pissed when they played with the storyline and destroyed Rogue... in fact I've gotta admit I don't think the first two films where what X-men films should've been but hey ho...

Anyways, on with the links the title of the film appears to be the last stand, and I understand it to be the last of the X-men films if Halle Berry is to be believed... there is a small and unsatisfactory image gallery here. The official teaser trailer is here.

There is a cast gallery here although not all characters have been disclosed; Angel as we know is to be played by Ben Foster, Kelsey Grammer as the Beast and Vinnie Jones as the Juggernaut.

I was sceptical at first about Ben Foster but after seeing the trailer I have no more doubts, I was enthusiastic about Kelsey Grammer as I felt he really had the voice of Hank but on seeing the pictures and trailer I am not convinced: he looks like a bad wookie dyed blue, they should have given him ebony black skin or a very dark blue so as not to make him look like a joke... which he does.

As to Vinnie Jones as the Juggernaut... I thought it was laughable and it is... he is way too small even though he's bigger than I thought he would be.

So according to the spoilers cyclops gets fried and then Xavier (seemingly) follows... judging by the trailer, I would say this is true... check the funeral scene... no prof X. Maybe cos it's his funeral.

According to some sources Wolverine takes charge, according to others Storm does. Either way I really hope they don't have the pair of them shagging cos that would just be WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!.

There are some hints as to what may be seen in the third movie in this article of things left hanging from the second movies production pieces; the danger room for instance and maybe Archangel (Angel after dark manipulation) will make an appearance in this film as some pieces have already reported.

Finally there are these two small spoof movies.

UPDATE:

There is so much out there that it's hard to remember what it is I'm blogging, needless to say further revelations have come to light and others I had forgotten to post the first time, will now be disclosed.

We got a cutie playing multiple man (which is probably how it should be - something intrinsically cute about a boy named Jamie) we have Omega Red and Gauntlet, a possibility of Dazzler, Avalanche and the Scarlet witch.

Ok so I'm getting excited again.

The holidays are coming


So what do you buy for that special person in your life?
How about the ultimate accessory?
The perfect(?) alarm clock?
Or the ultimate soft toy?
Planning ahead you could always buy them the most techno-headed pest control system I have ever encoutered... and I fucken want one even though slugs can't actually reach my balcony.
Again with the Go Figure...
Well it has been a while.
x.

Animals


There has been some glee displayed over the recent discovery of a new animal species in Borneo, but as this article and my own previous posts have pointed out; discovered by science and known about are entirely different things...
Although there are always freak occurences of all kinds, and hey it keeps life interesting.
Just pity the poor Kangaroos.
Go figure...

How to build an igloo


Who wouldn't wanna build an igloo?
Well, you can thank me with money, blond boys and money to buy blond boys when you see what I have for you here.

Loosely related I have this great article on inuits suing America... and in a world not controlled by the corrupt, they'd have every chance of winning... Oh what's that? God WANTS America to steal the world's oil and destroy mankind along with possibly all life on this strange experiment of Earth?

Good for fucken God... or do I mean the American economy?

I mean... here is the sort of violent incident caused by rampant global capitalism... shocking, I'm sure you'll be forced to agree.

Whereas here we have further proof that magic/religion is nothing more than a lack of scientific understanding.

Science found this and hopefully science will find a way to deal with it before God does... unless of course God will, then we can all just sit back on our fat arses and do nothing... Yay religious ideaology...

Finally on this post I have a strange and funny story that has absolutely nothing to do with anything else in this post but I had nowhere else to put it so it is going here and that's the end of it...

right?

Science bits


The picture above relates to the first story purely as it was a nice piece of photo-manipulation, and I love a decent faked photo.
Apparently they have now found that Viagra cures lung disease!
Giant Camels, cures for baldness, robot helpers (Soo want one of these), teen deterrent, star trek door, the science of swearing and the ULTIMATE paper plane.
Don't say you never learn anything from my site...
Finally though is an article that I came across ages ago and I think is really interesting though it may be a little long for some people's taste.

Happy


I came across this small animation and although it's quite funny I wasn't overly impressed, what did grab me was how similar to a happy tree friend the little bunny is; Happy tree friend shop (UK).
How about human transforming Transformer suits?
Get yourself a personalised trauma.
Find a new conspiracy theory.
Which superhero are you?
Wanna see Buffy doin Britney?
How about Tom Cruise coming out of the closet?
Maybe I need to change tack and blog daily or change content if I'm ever gonna make it onto the top 500 blog list...

Odds n sods


A little bit of a fortean type post for this one...
Let's start with this strange article about killer wives in a small village.
Which bleeds nicely into this odd occurence of killer squirrels... (first crack squirrels in Brixton and now organised gangs... keep an eye on the squirrels guys - something aint quite right).
And giant worms don't make me feel any better I can tell you.
Finding out that Britain is full of fraudsters comes as no shock to me but if I spontaneaously combusted I would have to admit surprise.
Lastly is a link to a quirky little website called post secret where people do exactly that, some are quite heavy, and some are really funny.

Short film spot


Most of you will no doubt be aware that the teaser-trailer for Superman returns has hit the net, and if have already seen it, you'll know how fantastically unspectacular it is... I hate to say it but this film looks like it could be really dull... and whose decision was it to go with the leather-look cape? Wrongness of an unimaginable scale
I'm praying it's better than it looks otherwise Bryan Singer will single-handedly destroy my entire childhood... like that bastard Lucas tried to do with episodes 1-3,

Still, I survived that...


In other super-powered escapades I recently blogged about the Spiderman 3 villains (Thomas Hayden-Church (Sideways) as Sandman and Topher Grace (that 70's show) as Venom reportedly) that Kirsten Dunst let slip, well the first photo is out and it's the Sandman alright...

The rest of this post is filled with short films and that's all that holds them together...

Bill Hicks tackles creationism,

Cartman tackles the issue of ginger

and finally this piece is actually kinda rubbish... but what does impress me is that it was made entirely without a camera, which makes it something else.

Talk about your ultimate obstruction.

Odd sods


These links are related by no other means than I found them interesting, cool or just plain strange.

Firstly the BBC have unveiled the new Cybermen, although the legs look really odd and clunky to me...

Someone is turning Hunter S. Thompson's send off into a film, which will either be ubercool or quite, quite strange.

Strange but not inexplicable is the case of the green puppy... what is inexplicable is how I think I can just link those two stories together...

Having read the article, I thought the idea of a portfolio life was for me until I realised you needed at least one skill in order for people to pay you, unfortunately most people don't count high drug tolerance as a 'skill'.

Maybe I'll launch a toy-line...

And I think to myself...


...What a wonderful world...

Strangely enough this post isn't about the new King Kong movie; the picture is of King Kong because a study has recently discovered that giant apes once (fairly recently) roamed the Earth.

Other strange science has soldiers following odours...

Who'da thunk that Fruitflies were so aptly named?

Who doesn't love a cool invention?

Although I love it more when science tells us good stuff and sucker-punches small-minded moralists, who think they know better.

I do not like it when corporate powerplay impedes learning.

Finally on a barely related note, I took a geek test after finding it on another blog, if you want to find out how geeky you are you can find the test here. If you have any desire to know how geeky the test rated me then you can find my results here.

Angry kid


A while ago when Angry kid was first unleashed there was a little hype that failed to ignite any great fires and on watching most of it you would be hard pressed to describe it as outstanding in any respects,

But,

today I saw this and I can safely say it is quite outstanding, if only for it's use of the word butt-plug.

You can find out more on Angry kid over on his website.

And it never hurts to link to Aardman animation's home page.

Inventors' corner


Who doesn't love a good idea?
I'm all for innovation and the advancement of humankind and I would like to draw your attention to this rather perfect little idea.
Anyone who's had to deal with a squeaky toy and a dumb dog will recognise this to be directly from a higher power, you can order them here.
Whereas, do a lot of new discoveries lend themselves to anti-terror applications or is just an indication of the times?
Judging by this fear is the new black.

Most rubbish show... ever.


It's a shame that the most watched programme on the Living channel is Most Haunted/Most Haunted Live, as it is really shoddy and ANYONE who returns to it after one viewing should be boiled in their own bum...
The 'medium' is thick as fuck; he researches the locations beforehand and STILL flails around repeating the same rubbish time and time again and he's totally the worst actor you have EVER witnessed and you know it's all staged, but it is EVER so satisfying when someone who works on this sort of show exposes it for the sham that it is.

But then the truth is often far from the stories told.

Tinternet Rocks!


Ah who doesn't love t'internet, as old Betty on Emmerdale (northern soap set in t'rural countryside farmlandy place) says, t'internet is takin over the world...
Shame Emmerdale's scriptwriters can't extend themselves to callin it the 'net which would save time AND Betty's reputation at being able to speak the English language... think on and look sharp is all I'm sayin... oh no that's Coronation Street innit?
Anyways as we all know the internet has saved our lives, for many many reasons.
Reasons like this.
For stories like this.
And finally because it gives us all magical powers.

Stardust


I'm not sure about Matthew Vaughn; I have never seen Layer Cake, and he did nothing more than produce Lock stock, so I can honestly say I know nothing of his work... he recently left the X-men 3 production and now he is working on the adaptation of Neil Gaiman's novel Stardust.

Note to self: bombard casting company with showreels and make overt passes at the casting director.

Apparently he is also married to Claudia Schiffer... who knew?

Does she?

You're havin a laugh intchya?


I am obliged to post these short films for many reasons: firstly coz they are funny, secondly because one of them features gratuitous nakedity and thirdly because it's a kids in the hall sketch and I liked the kids in the hall...

Happy Hallowe'en


I love Hallowe'en, I love scary shit,
I love kitsch scary shit too lets face it if I didn't then I wouldn't like much about Hallowe'en...
Anyways on with the festivities; you can send a question to the 'Other side',

Or see questions other people have asked, you must check out Shirley Ghostman anyway you can... the guy who plays him is on his way to godhood in my book... not that that's any real endorsment for anybody.

And you may wonder where this is going but stick with it to the 5th round and all will become clear...

Ya gotta love the Evil Clown Generator

Or ya can carve a pumpkin which is a particular favourite of mine... shame non of my friends think so.

They're dead now.

And we must campaign hard to keep Hallowe'en pure of this evil.
