Kids in the Hall Alum Scott Thompson on Hannibal and Why Being Gay Is Now Boring:

“Montreal is wonderful. It is so sexy. There are sex clubs and bath houses and French-Canadians have kilometers of foreskin.” In other news, rather intrigued by something that features Scott Thompson AND Mads Mikkelsen.

Dragoljub Aleksić breaking a chain with his teeth in Innocence Unprotected, an unexpectedly sly documentary that is like a magician showing you the card he has palmed.

The book Nikkatsu akushon hen or 日活アクション篇〈1〉, a collection of Nikkatsu action film poster graphics. The images have been scanned here in a rather amazing archive which should be acknowledged for the time it must have taken to bother.

“Giant Warrior God Appears In Tokyo”, a live action short directed by Evangelion’s Hideaki Anno and produced by Studio Ghibli…what if the Warrior Gods from Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind appeared in Tokyo?

PS - This was making the rounds and the YouTube clip was quickly nixed by Studio Ghibli, so watch it while you can, because it probably won’t be up for long. Initial heads-up c/o Wildgrounds.

Been on a noir/hard-boiled jag. Just read The Postman Always Rings Twice, White Jazz and The Big Sleep and am sneaking my way down Nightmare Alley. Thought I’d go out for one night and be a shutterbug on Fremont Street and hang with the other marks.

““The Plaintiffs’ expert acknowledged that redefining marriage will have real-world consequences, and that it is impossible for anyone to foresee the future accurately enough to know exactly what those real-world consequences would be. And among those real-world consequences, Your Honor, we would suggest are adverse consequences.””

- Incredibly obtuse response from Charles J. Cooper, Esq. when asked what possible threat same-sex marriage could pose. Supreme Court hearing re: Prop 8, March 26-27

I am for equal rights. Prop 8 is a travesty.

One Night for One Drop - Cirque du Soleil special event

One Night for One Drop - Cirque du Soleil special event:

One Night for One Drop is a unique Cirque performance which occurred this past weekend. You can see the performance online with a $5 donation to One Drop, celebrating World Water Day and donations providing water access to those in need.

The $5 price of admission is certainly a helluva lot cheaper than the $100+ required to see any of these shows live ;)
