"I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way."

Netflix is my Jeebus.

I'm watching Kurosawa's Throne of Blood and this version of the DVD features a kick-ass drawing of Toshiro Mifune.

Check it out:



Doesn't he look bad-ass?
So, I started thinking, what if this film were animated? What if other Kurosawa films were animated? Wouldn't it be cool if someone digitally rotoscoped Seven Samurai or Yojimbo?

So now, if you're a film or television producer you're stroking you're chin and thinking, "hmm... that's actually a good idea."
Well, hold on. I've go another one for you.

It's an Americanized Tv series based on Lars Von Trier's The Five Obstructions. I would say more, but I've got my copy of NCAA '06 here waiting to be played.

New World Water

Everything should be open 24 hours.
Right now I should be playing NCAA 2006, but nothing's open after 11:00pm, so I'm not.

I have become hooked on Glaceau's expensive, tasty Vitamin Water. One of the reasons I like it so much, is that each flavor is associated with a concept. I often drink an "Energy" or a "Power-C" before work and a "Revive" after. For me, it's not just the particular vitamin combination that makes those concepts manifest in the drink. It's the words written on the bottle itself that turn a marketing concept into a physical reality.
I saw a movie that tells me it's true.

I'm always fascinated by people who are, as the colloquial metaphor goes, open books. The idea that someone, a virtual stranger or a co-worker, would feel compelled to tell me details of their personal life when I have shown no prior interest in such matters mystifies me. Especially considering that I myself have some sort of sub-rational aversion to disclosure.

In other news, I have sideburns. They kind of snuck up on me. I wasn't paying attention to the fact that I hadn't been shaving them and then one day: surprise! I'm Luke Perry.
