Just wow. This is both incredibly geeky and ridiculously skilled at the same time. I cannot imagine having the free time required to learning to do something like this.
So uh, this happened. I’d usually have something more clever to put here but this video has rendered me a little dumb. Just take a look. WARNING: Even though there is a black bar some 8-bit penis slips through
Completely horse-shit title aside I am very excited for this movie. Say what you will about the first two Transformers films, and enough really has been said, but I loved them. Giant robots kicking the hell out of each other while hot girls run around? I’m in there like swimwear. This teaser sets up the story in a really nice and dramatic way that seems obvious now. To my knowledge, there isn’t another popular story that deals with the twenty one minutes of dark experienced when Buzz Aldren and crew walked on the moon. Why couldn’t there be some crazy big alien robot?
For everyone who despises Mike Bay, and really he isn’t making movies for you anyway, rest easy knowing that this is his last entry in the franchise. Make no mistake dear readers, there will be more Transformers films. Like Spider-Man or anything Disney they are a license to print money. They are easy to enjoy summer popcorn flicks. And there is nothing wrong with that. Perhaps a new director will jump behind the camera and produce a truly great piece of cinema. I rather salivate at the prospect of Neill Blomkamp, District 9, getting the assignment. But until that time, don’t turn the Transformers into art. Simply enjoy.
The BBC have released a teaser trailer for Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. If that title means nothing to you feast your peepers on this. Dirk Gently is the star of two novels, one matching the above title and the other being Long, Dark, Tea Time of the Soul, written by Douglas Adams. Adams of course is most famous for the five book Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy trilogy which has had many different versions created for pop culture consumption with the most recent being the Hollywood version staring Martin Freeman of The Office and now The Hobbit. The Dirk Gently series has never seemed to be quite as popular as Hitchhiker and that’s a shame. Tea Time is utterly brilliant. The story is completely mad in the way that only Adams could produce. I have not finished the first Dirk novel but it is on the list. This series marks the first entry into television for Dirk and from this 30 second trailer it looks great.
