Silent films are something I’ve always enjoyed. The exaggerated acting and poses are what appeal to me the most. So that leaves one to question, “How would a contemporary sci-fi picture translate into this medium?” An acting troupe from Asia has replied humorously, Russian subtitles included. That Charlie guy sure knows [...]  July 5th, 2009 | Category: televisionYes. You heard me right. This amazing artist Willard Wigan literally makes sculptures that fit into the eye of a needle. It’s still a huge mystery to me how he controls his shaping tools on such a minuscule level and paints the characters. He describes losing a past work in progress by accidentally [...] June 22nd, 2009 | Category: televisionThis year’s Sasuke 22 (Ninja Warrior in the US) was one of the most exciting competitions of all time. Yuuji Urushihara, the humble shoe salesman, was mere seconds away from making Sasuke history! It seems the tides are turning with the well-known Sasuke All-Star veterans being tallied out early in the first round [...] Take slicing and dicing (SlapChop), courtesy of the ShamWow! guy (Vince Shlomi), put it in an audio blender via Steve Porter, and parallel edit with moments from the always classic Breakin’. Makes me hungry….and pop lock at the same time. This is one show I always looked forward too. The opening music is catchy and inventive with a twist of disco. I would hum this to myself whilst coloring farm animals with crayons many moons ago. My three favorite parts are: When the bird of prey is being pet on the neck. December 14th, 2008 | Category: televisionWhat’s more amazing than Spiderman?…. First Aired: 1973 Lyrics: Conjunction Junction, what’s [...] September 17th, 2008 | Category: televisionThere are only a handful of TV shows that I can watch for a while, and continue watching. I would have to put Cesar Millan’s show Dog Whisperer at the top of that list. It’s awesome. That guy really knows how animals think, from the inside out. What is clear to anyone [...] Jeh United Ltd in Bangkok promoted the Sylvania Light Bulb as the way to keep monsters at bay in this off beat TV ad from Thailand. A child at a picnic points out figures from South East Asian mythology. His father fearlessly names them as Kra Sue, the floating head of a female vampire ghost, [...] March 28th, 2008 | Category: televisionI like watching gameshows that test a person’s ability to NOT get owned. You would be right in assuming my levels of happiness to limit break after being introduced to the show Ninja Warrior and Women Ninja Warrior which is featured in the US and UK. Both shows are re-dubbed ports of the [...] December 11th, 2007 | Category: televisionMy wife is learning Portuguese right now, and one of the ways she picks up on new languages is by listening to songs and TV shows in the native language. While surfing around online, she found out about this show, Vila Sésamo, which is the Brazilian version of Sesame Street! Cool. There is a character they [...] December 5th, 2007 | Category: televisionHahahaha! Takeshi Kitano Comedy Show2 – Binoculars Soccer (1984) I really like this show on National Geographic Channel called Taboo. It’s pretty cool….they travel around the world and showcase different culture’s traditions. Seeing programs like this make me think about the balance between an individual’s ability to create themselves through critical thinking, introspection, etc, and the environment’s own ability upon them to shape and [...] |
