DEAD FANTASY


Not the latest Romero film. (Sorry, Kyle.)

What if my girls from Dead or Alive went up against the chicks from Final Fantasy?

Get on the Frakin' Ship!

This must be seen to be believed.

Frak Yeah!

What would be great is if along the way, a rag-tag band of smaller boats fell into line behind the cruise ship, and then at somepoint, a whole fleet of like a hundred guys on Jet-skis attacked, dressed-up as cylons, and everybody on the cruise had to hop on their own jet-skis, and Dirk and Richard have to lead the charge to protect the fleet!


Yeah...

...that'd be Sweet.

Harrassed by Aliens.

It's actually not me that's being harrassed. Some poor guy in Belgrade has had 5 consecutive meteorites hit his house since November.


"Man 'targeted by aliens'
----------------------
A Bosnian man whose home has been hit an incredible five times by meteorites believes he is being targeted by aliens.

Experts at Belgrade University have confirmed that all the rocks Radivoje Lajic has handed over were meteorites.

They are now investigating local magnetic fields to try and work out what makes the property so attractive to the heavenly bodies.

But Mr Lajic, who has had a steel girder reinforced roof put on the house he owns in the northern village of Gornja Lamovite, has an alternative explanation.

He said: "I am obviously being targeted by extraterrestrials. I don't know what I have done to annoy them but there is no other explanation that makes sense. The chance of being hit by a meteorite is so small that getting hit five times has to be deliberate."

The first meteorite fell on his house in November last year and since then a further four have smashed into his home. The strikes always happen when it is raining heavily, never when there are clear skies.

He said: "I did not know what the strange-looking stones were at first but I have since had them all confirmed as meteorites by experts at Belgrade University.

"I am being targeted by aliens. They are playing games with me. I don't know why they are doing this. When it rains I can't sleep for worrying about another strike."

-------------------------


It's either that, or God just hates him.

Linked-In...

So, I had this weird thing happen to me last night...

When I checked my email, I saw that I had a Linked-In request from Sean Rourke.

?

I'm Sean Rourke.

Why would I send a Linked-In request to MYSELF?

I pondered all the possibilities in the the two seconds it took for me to open the email...this was some kinda clever spam, phishing tactic, identity theft, doppelganger, message from the future, etc. Regardless, I clicked on the link, and found this:



It's just a guy in Arizona with the same name. And ya know what? It WOULD be fun to be linked. So now we are. He also sent me a follow-up email:

"That's great...We're two of a kind. Thanks!"


We certainly are. And you're welcome.

Yeah, I'm a Commando.


This composite was done by my friend, Jeff Centauri.

I've been writing a script for him over the last month called "1000 Bullets." It's Jeff's next feature, and he's been doing some 3D storyboards and concept design for it. Today he sent me this.


Sweet.

I know a girl named Bridgitte...


I just want to take a moment to brag about my friend, Bridgitte.

Bridgitte is an AWESOME photographer. She's been taking pictures for as long as I've known her (since College,) but I hadn't really seen the full scope of what she was capable of until she sent me the link for her new website.

www.bcnkphotography.com

Her imagery is gorgeous, and I implore you to have a look.



And James Paris has never looked so sexy.

The FIVE Killers...



Jack just sent me this link, and it looks so cool that I spontaneously sprained a kidney.



http://web.mac.com/eric.calderon/iWeb/Site/The%20Five%20Killers/The%20Five%20Killers.html

The Trailer took my breath away. Looks like EXACTLY the kinda story I wanna see told.

This is the description that the creator has posted on his site:

"When the best five killers are hunted
by the ultimate assassin:

3 Die.
2 Survive.
1 Lives... Forever.

Set in the high tech, high stakes world of espionage and global conspiracy, The Five Killers reunites the world’s greatest assassins years after their bitter retirement. One of them has been found murdered, and the message is clear: they’re next."

It's being made by Studio Gonzo, who are a BIG Anime Name these days. The cool thing is, the creator/producer and the writers are American.

And it has a Vampire.

Giant Squid attacks France...

This is very cool.

A Giant Squid caught in the Deep Seas of New Zealand has been plasticized and hung in the French National Museum of Natural History. The thing was over 9 meters long when caught! (It has since shrunk to just over 6.)



From the BBC Article:

"The biologist who helped organise the donation said there should be a giant squid in the country of Jules Verne - the Frenchman who wrote the celebrated novel 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.
That was an epic tale of struggles between sailors and tentacled monsters, featuring a giant squid that tried to engulf a submarine."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7322217.stm

Did you know that of all the creatures we've discovered on the planet, the Giant Squid has the Largest EYE? Lookin' at the picture, you're like, "Well...yeah."

(I found this on Boing Boing.)
