- Via Canadian
girl out and aboot, an amusing and deeply vulgar critique of Starbucks
cup sizes. - Excellent,
rude advice on nearly everything. There’s some good advice for hitting
30 (which I recently did), including "You need to start paying for your
porn now." Here’s a
hundred more tips. - Fun with a
virtual whiteboard. Not a lot of fun, but some. - Genesis
in Lego. - A fan-made
trailer for The Hobbit. I hope the dragon looks better than that
shite. - It’s the remarkable fish
highway. - Santa
is scary.
Several of these come via Mark Hurst’s very-readable Good
Experience newsletter. You can find the exhaustive list here.
That dragon, and a lot of the footage, in the trailer is from the movie Dragonslayer (http://imdb.com/title/tt0082288/). In it’s day that was top notch effects. The editing to go into a Hobbit trailer, while impressive that someone put time into it, seems a bit lame to me. I mean, yes, there are elements of the Hobbit in there, but the overall effect is dumb when you take from another unrelated movie. It just broke the continuity of what they were trying to achieve. I don’t know, i guess some will find it cool, but it’s just a lame remix if you ask me.
