Attack Number One!!! Real Live Action!!!

Of course somebody had to get it on the (You)Tube.



But if anybody can point me to a website where I can buy this series, I'll owe him for ever. Seriously. This was one of my favourite sport series...

Remember your youth

listen to L'isola del tesoro, interpreted by Lino Toffolo.

Italian theme song of the japanese animated series "The Treasure Island" - L'Isola del Tesoro.

Space Carrier Blue Noah Vs Space Battleship Yamato

One of the step stones of my childhood.

I just happened to listen to its theme song on my shiny new MP3 Player - courtesy of the company, for winning the internal safety contest - in fact I did not deserve it, since during the drill I did ignore the fire alarm thinking that it was just a test of bells and whistles...

Well never mind.

Anyway, I did like this series, although I felt as if it was a rip off of Space Battleship Yamato, certainly more iconic - Matsumoto's style is unmissable.

Can you imagine Tom and Jerry wearing these?

Exoform artist Jeff de Boer's cat and mouse warfare equipment in gladiator, medieval, samurai, and Persian styles. And yes, he has tried to put one of his cats inside one of his suits of armor (and has the scars to prove it)

A Second Hand Transformers

Just dug this out of Youtube:

Fly Me to the Moon

Here's a movie to keep an eye out for: Three young houseflies stow away aboard the Apollo 11 flight to the moon.

starring Nicollette Sheridan, aka Edie Britt in Desperate Housewives (I found this movie looking for other things about her, after I saw her committing suicide in the series). Sad, she was one of my favourite characters.

Evangelion!!! Live Action!!!

The greatest of Gainax successes becomes a live action movie.

I just hope they get the chance to properly do the effects, as the one shown in this trailer do suck a little.

update: new trailer: it sucks even more. they didn't even get the taglines right. "A boy has to decideD" "The destiny of THE Humanity", oh yeah, that would be Humankind... never mind - have a look yourself.



And what's with the freaking american accent of Kusanagi? I hate Americans for being so self-centric (not that japs aren't when they set all the ultimate fortresses of humanity in their own little island (less than 1% of Erath surface, yet statistically unlucky to incredible levels.

AND - apparently is an easter egg. or fan art. in the case, they did a decent job.

Wings of Honneamise

First movie of Gainax. A very realistic telling of a space program in an alternative reality.

Slow, yet one of my favourite anime

Explosions

Some of the best explosion scenes froma collection of anime - I recognise most of the m - how geek am I?

Gundam, Gundam, Ho Ho!!!

a serious one...



and now a funny one!!!



no, two funny ones!!!

All together now!!!

Super deformed!!!

Original Jap Macross Opening Theme

Macross!!!

One of my all-time favourites

MC Hawking

click on the link, then "Watch this movie", and enjoy an Justice League-style cartoon of Stephen Hawking defeating those fundamentalist pussies!!! yahey!!! Go, Dr Astro!!! (rather unimaginative name, though)

thanks to James Hrynyshyn, lost in the Island of Doubt (I guess that's somewhere in the sea of uncertainty)

Surf's Up

Lots of CGI animation movies coming up this season... and in between them it's the (first?) such feature from Sony: Surf's up. click on the title link to enjoy the retro story of a young penguin surfer trying to imitate his begone idol, Big Z!!! Trailer courtesy of apple.

it looks fun... let's see how it shapes up when it hits the silver screen...

ps: penguins seems to be more nad more favourite. Starting from Neon genesis Evangelion onward, I count more and more apparitions of them: Madagascar, plus the similar one from disney... and now Cold feet and this one... may be Linux is having an effect after all?

Somewhere, somebody's blog just blew up...

Click on the link, and you'll see that the authors of South Park appreciate Battlestar Galactica too... :-)

They both (BSG and SP) won this "Peabody's Award". Me, I've never heard of it but I'm sure they both deserve it.

ps: the title refer to a comment made after the two guys came down from the podium... it's a joke but it shows how the information panorama is changing, thanks to the distributed network of blogs powering more and more the information exchange. a big difference from the early days of centralised top-to-bottom information diffusion through agencies. Specialised news agencies are certainly still important in some fields, but for the rest, their role is being severely undermined by the ease of access and pervasive presence of the network. (the interweb, as Clarkson calls it)
