Hypnotic web jive from Tokyo

In: From Sam

I stumbled across this site from Tokyo and it’s simply hypnotizing. I just can’t stop watching. I pretty much have no idea what the site about. If I spoke Japanese that might help. But it’s still pretty damn cool. Check it out .

art kills commerce, commerce kills art

In: From Sam

For as long as man has been able to lift his head up he has expressed himself through some form of artistic practice. From cave paintings to spray painted graffiti, the desire to reach out and connect with one’s environment, community, anybody who will listen has been a basic drive in us that almost operates [...]

Charlton Heston is Dead

In: From Sam

Charlton Heston died this week. No big deal, he was old. And while I have enjoyed his campy, overacting in several films including the awesome Ten Commandments and Planet Of The Apes, the fact that he became a cranky, conservative NRA nutball in later years doesn’t make me shed a tear for his passing. In [...]

So Dick Cheney was on Good Morning America the other day on the anniversary of Bush’s War, and when confronted with the fact that 2/3 of the American public were against the war, he said “So?” – as in “So what?” as in “F*** ‘em!”: Source: ThinkProgress.org Cheney On Two-Thirds Of The American Public Opposing [...]

Gawker Artists

In: From Sam

I have artwork floating around on Gawker Artists. I like the idea of having random bits of art delivered to all of these exhibiting sites. So much nicer than the standard ads for ipods and better mortgage rates. .

The Sour Grapes Rant: How many times has someone told you that your goals were not realistic? How many times has someone told you to stop dreaming and come back to reality? Its cliché, right? As long as people have been dreaming, someone has been there to say “Give up.” But in a world of [...]

The Sour Grapes Rant: I saw that ifitshipitshere.blogspot.com posted a side by side comparison of Bert Stern’s original 1962 shots of Marilyn Monroe and his 2008 shots of Lindsay Lohan for New York magazine. Am I the only one who thinks that any comparison, now matter how small, between Marilyn Monroe and Lindsay Lohan is [...]

25 Pop Culture Debates Put To Rest

In: From Sam, Movies, Music, TV

Entertainment Weekly #982 has an article in it called “Pop Culture Throw-down!”. In the article they present a conversation from both sides about 25 pop culture debates in movies and music. Both sides? Nope. There’s only one side, my side. I’m laying down the final word on what’s true and false here. It’s not up [...]

Sour Grapes: Movie Posters That Suck

In: Design, Movies, Sour Grapes

The Sour Grapes Rant: The movie poster goes hand-in-hand with the trailer as a key form of advertising. Yet it seems some studios find it acceptable to release movie advertising with truly awful imagery that looks like it was spliced together by some photoshop hack, or possibly a photoshop sweatshop in Indonesia. The number one [...]

I’ve Got A Secret

In: From Sam

But I’m not going to tell you what it is. And do you know why? Because despite everything that has happened and despite whatever bad blood may or may not have transpired, I believe in integrity. And no matter how someone else chooses to behave, I will not violate my integrity and sell myself out. [...]

Sour Grapes: Let’s Get LOST

In: Sour Grapes, TV

I was a bit of a late-comer to the TV show Lost. I didn’t buy into the first season hype and I avoided it. However when the first season came out on DVD, I gave it a shot and got totally sucked in. We watched every episode of the first season, all in a row [...]

The Internet Is Dead

In: From Sam

A friend of mine recently told me that the internet is dead, and they were quite sincere. In their opinion, the internet is overrun with criminals, pornographers, people wasting their time, and corporate scammers making money off of it all. It has degenerated into the worst of society and should go down in flames. I [...]
