I love you all. If you have a few minutes, watch this silly video of The Proclaimers’ 500 Miles set in The World of Warcraft.

If the world’s population were reduced to 100, it would look something like this…

So starts the website Miniature-Earth.com, a short, sad-though-thought-provoking film on what our planet might be like if its population was only one hundred citizens.

It does not take long to watch, and needs no further introduction from me.

One more Rolling Stones video to see me off into the sunrise as I head home to grab a few hours sleep. A great song from the greatest of albums. Sweet Virginia, performed live in 1972.

This one’s for Big Daddy – if he ever stumbles across this site.

Cheers, and goodnight.

I love a good horror movie. Even quite a few bad ones. Of course, its hard to tell the quality of a movie by its trailer, as studios tend to toss in all the good bits from the film they’re promoting, but I stumbled across a trailer today for a movie that looks promising, Prison of the Psychotic Damned. Great title.

Posted on Youtube by the CEO of Red Scream Films, David Williams, this is the third version of the trailer. More clips from the film are available for viewing on Mr. Williams profile page. Of particular interst is Melantha Blackthorn‘s video. I’m in love…

Prison of the Psychotic Damned Trailer

Quick synopsis:

Group of 5 ghost hunters spend night in the long abandoned Buffalo Central Train Terminal. They learn very quickly that the terminal is really haunted and not with any friendly ghosts. Carnage, screaming and insanity follow.

Watch for Prison of the Psychotic Damned on DVD this fall. There is a special sneak peek/review preview edition available for purchase. Ordering instructions here: Red Scream Films.

I was surfing my favourite extreme Asian cinema site, and read a review for the Thai horror film Shutter. Although the Snowblood Apple was less than impressed with the film, many people claim that its one of – if not THE – scariest movie(s) they’ve ever watched. I wouldn’t go that far, but its a pretty damned creepy film. What kills it for me is the long dark-haired female ghost that seems to be so typical in Asian horror movies. Still, it has its moments. The performances are good throughout, and the picture quality is excellent.

The general setup is a young couple hit a woman with their car, leaving her for dead on the road. The male – a photographer – starts noticing anomolies showing up in his pictures and negatives. Things go real bad, real fast.

If ghost photography creeps you out, you might want to skip this one. Check out the trailer (in Thai with English subtitles) below, then click the links to watch the complete movie.

This video clip is from a Japanese television show and is in Japanese. So while you probably won’t understand what the commentator is saying, I think you’ll still be able to appreciate the humour in the situation. Not wanting to give anything away, I’ll just post a link to the video. Enjoy.

I was in tears after watching this I laughed so hard.

In what may be the single greatest announcement in the history of motion pictures, The Simpsons Movie is off the drawing boards and into preproduction. Scheduled for release in July 2007 (Doh!), here’s a teaser video:

I’ll have more media and updates as they’re released.

The trailer video for Scary Movie 4, coming to theatres on April 14, 2006. This one actually looks pretty good, but that’s the purpose of a trailer, I suppose.

This version of the series spoofs The Grudge, The Village, Saw, War of the Worlds amongst others.

For all the conspiracy theorists out there, I present Loose Change 2nd Edition, a documentary on how the U.S. government arranged, and is covering up, the horrific events of 9/11.

Parts of it are a bit hard for me to swallow, but even many of the most outlandish claims are no more difficult to believe than the “official” explanations. As 9/11 recedes into long-term memory, it gets easier to twist the facts to suit a specific purpose, and easier to get me believe that what you’re telling me is the truth.

It is a compelling piece of work, though. Worth the hour and a half if you’ve got the time to spare.

One hour and twenty-one minutes long and yes, I watched the entire documentary.
