01-18-08 Trailer
01-18-08 ('Cloverfield') are the working titles of the, as yet, unnamed JJ (Lost) Abrams Monster movie coming out on... well, there's a clue in the title. The trailer is already up on Apple Trailers and although it's only a teaser it does look pretty impressive. It's all filmed on camcorder so expect cinemas full of motion sickness a-la Blair witch. Trailer here. official site Here. Imdb Here and a bunch of nerds obsessing about it Here.Labels: Movies

Thriller Jailhouse Style
Prison in the Philippines has got to be a very different experience than in the UK, can't really imagine this going down in Barlinnie Prison, Glasgow.
1,500 plus CPDRC inmates of the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center, Cebu, Philippines at practice! This is not the final routine, and definitely not a punishment! just a teaser.
Hu Shulin : The Fly Slayer
Hu Shulin hates flys! so much so he's spent years perfecting the art of killing them in a kung-fu style. OK? Hu in the process of mass insectacide has created the ultimate fly trap and is about to make millions from it. The best bit is he's collected the carcasses of all the flies he's caught, in a bin bag, more than 3 million of them.

Private Snafu - Booby Traps
Faces Of Meth
Crystal Meth as you have ascertained can be bad for you, either that or it's really good for you and I've gotten these pictures the wrong way round? Either way it does 'stuff' and it's illegal so kids don't do it. Jokes aside this stuff basically microwaves your insides and leaves your outsides looking like John Merrick's nuts. You can view a nice poster here and a charming video here.Labels: Drugs
40gbit internet connection
'A 75 year old woman from central Sweden has been thrust into the IT history books - with the world's fastest internet connection. Sigbritt Lothberg's blistering 40 Gigabits per second connection means she can enjoy 1,500 high definition HDTV channels simultaneously or download a full high definition DVD in just two seconds.' Her Son Peter installed the service for her and it looks to me like he's crippled himself with 40gbit porn for a little too long. This video is in Swedish but he makes me laugh.

Enigma Machine On eBay
Vorsprung Durch Technik at it's finest. The Enigma Machine that kept the Allies all of a kerfuffle throughout WWII and was finally decrypted after the British (not the Americans as portrait in the shitefest that was U-571) captured one. Gratuitous historical inaccuracies aside yuo can buy one on eBay and here is the link. Hande Hoch if you want one?Labels: ebay
Ghosts of Cite Soleil : Trailer
Ghosts of Cite Soleil is bound to get compared to 'City of God' as the two show the brutality of destitution in a third World environment, but to compare them is wrong as they are totally different beasts. This film shows how the gangs from the slums of Port-au-Prince are basically used as private army's to the president Aristide and the corruption that enslaves them. You can read an interview with the director Here
Jack and Meg's One Second Gig
Sulking faced Grinch-a-likes the White Stripes turned up for a 'secret gig*' in St. John's, Newfoundland and played one note (reportedly a C-sharp) took a smug bow and walked off. You can watch the wacky funsters on microgig the toob here.*So secret the cround had been there for hours, and the press and the local radio station.

Craig McLachlan - Mona Video
Craig McLachlan of Neighbours fame performs the classic hit Mona. Christ alone knows why I've posted this, for some reason this hellish clump of ear rape was rattling round my head today. Does anyone remember his cappuccino song from Neighbours?
Farfour The Hamas Mouse
Those wacky Palestinian extremists love animals, especially anti-Semitic hate spouting ones like Farfour the Mouse. Farfour puts the fun back in fundamentalism with his helium infused voice 'skoolin' the kids on the evils of the Zionist nation. 'Next week kids we're gonna make a dirty bomb, who can spell Anthrax?'
Top 50 Websites for 2007
Time magazines list of 'the best examples of what's new and exciting about the Web right now'. Well who am I to argue, the fact I've been omitted AGAIN. pfff. Could be because I don't update my site and my content is as entertaining as a proctology exam? Quite possibly. Anyway take a look for yourself unsurprisingly loads of web 2.0 sites and as Barry Norman would say 'and why not?' Link

John Smeaton VS. Al-Qaeda
He wears a high-viz jacket sports a crop of hair as red as the fires of hell and likes to kick terrorists in the face. Who is he? Baggage supervisor, hero, smoker. John Smeaton. Those of you who saw 'Smeato' on the news were probably wondering what language he was trying to enunciate rapidly I can confirm it was English, albeit with a huge twang of Glaswegian. There is a fan site set up with links to videos of the J-Dog in action. Link

Plasma Sperm Microscope : View your own Sperm
Glass + Match = Tron
I'm no physics expert but I think it's got something to do with super heating the air within the glass. This is like the best homemade special effect I've seen since Adam & Joe did their microwave experiments.
Puchi Puchi
Bandai have produced a bubblewrap popping device called the 'Puchi Puchi'. Every 100 "pops" gives you a random sound including "door chime", "barking dog", "sexy voice", the eternal "fart" noise, and more! As an added bonus, among every 1000 pieces is a "puchi lucky" toy with a heart-shaped bubble. You can pre-order one here
