just added a little note (might be too little for people to actually read or even notice) at the top left corner of my splash page. probably a long ways before i actually make a version 2. hope to have some ideas by this summer.
this is the kind of movie you can get with a $10 blockbuster giftcard:
low budgety brit horror flick that’s actually well made. story-wise not all that original (think Alien or John Carpenter’s The Thing…except with mutant baby cows)
.
not that great of a screenshot, i’d describe the creature(s) as caramelized soft-shelled crabs like you’d find at chinese buffets…except served with some heaping of blood and bovine innards
.
dvd also has a pretty good short film extra, written and directed by Billy O’Brien (who’s also the director of Isolation):
kinda reminds me of Jim Henson’s The Storyteller.
started taking a speed CSS class (only 3 days total so they’re cramming a lot of info real fast). i had trouble following it the first class…and doodled this in place of notetaking
written and directed by Shane Meadows. great movie. about skinheads (if you briefly skimmed the trailer or read the story synopsis). it’s really more about friendship, bonds and loyalty. no preaching about the direction of the main character’s life.
Leone’s Dollars trilogy was re-released as a boxset in 2007 with similar design packaging to the 2004 Special Edition of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. i had already bought the anniversary edition of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly a year after it came out (which would be around 2005) so i ended up just buying the 2007 re-releases of Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More separately. (also waited for them to go on sale. Fistful was on sale for 9.99 while Few Dollars More went on sale recently for 14.99)
the actual disc design looks a lot like the Taxi Driver dvd i posted before, but that one was designed by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. i can’t find a listing for the packaging design of Leone’s trilogy.
trailers:
btw, some of the interviews that were in the 2004 release of The Good The Bad & The Ugly (titled Leone’s West and Leone’s Style) end up on the extras disc of Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More. so you’re not really getting that much original extra interviews if you had all 3 movies.
nothing to do while my other computer is tied up encoding a dvd…so watch some vids:

decided to make the scrollwheel on my Logitech trackman (thumb trackball mouse) run smoother. i remember breaking something on my older trackman (accidentally) that made it scroll a lot faster, but now i can’t recall which part. for this newer one i ended up just removing the spring that lets you know the actual scrollwheel is “tracking”:
this came only with 2 discs and no booklet. okay. but why couldn’t they have used a single sized case which can also hold 2 discs instead?
