I somehow keep thinking about The Transformers: The Movie lately. In particular, I found myself rewatching the attached clip more than once, mostly for the sheer joy of Welles's performance. But today it occurred to me that it isn't just a scene of Orson Welles turning Frank Welker into Leonard Nimoy for marketing purposes (though … Continue reading Interpretive Tech Companies

Some Old Gimp Pics
I spent part of today sorting through the bloated image folders on my computer, and in the process rediscovered some old photo manips I did. I now pass a selection on to you: First we have some scenes from the highly-anticipated live action 'Super Smash Brothers' film: Gannondorf (played by Sean Bean) cuts a deal … Continue reading Some Old Gimp Pics

The next thing he knew, Stallone was spending four days in intensive care with a bruised heart. He then had to convince … Continue reading Fun Fact of the Day

Instead it was created for the planned 'Mst3k CD-Rom' project that was never completed. The short, however, found its way into the fan community and eventually onto DVD. I … Continue reading Mst3k Assignment Venezuela
Budweiser Swamp
In the mid-late-nineties, Budweiser beer started a new advertising campaign, consisting of a trio of frogs just croaking the syllables of their name. It became hugely popular and all-but iconic. Then, after a few variations, an actual story developed, played out over the course of the commercials (especially during Superbowls), involving a self-impressed lizard named … Continue reading Budweiser Swamp

Superman Cartoons
Between depression and job hunting, been really behind on writing. So instead of any new original fiction, I'm just plugging along offering you works I like. And I've got a treat for you today: the first three of Dave and Max Fleischer's original Superman cartoons. My goodness, the artistry on these old cartoons is amazing. … Continue reading Superman Cartoons
The Introvert and the Extrovert
