This sounds a little like a challenge. I might consider trying a creative editing project.

In accepting his Golden Globe last month, Mickey Rourke thanked his dogs, past and present, saying "Sometimes when a man's alone, that's all you've got is your dog."

Rourke's dog, Loki, died today. Blogger Kris Tapley has written up a nice remembrance, with a photo of Mickey and Loki.

OMG, I would love you. Can I consult?

Adding to the degree of difficulty, one film is in b&w in standard aspect ration, the other in glorious color and Panavision.


Have fun!

Aspect ratios can always be adjusted, and color can be made b&w quite easily (the reverse is more difficult).

Holy crap. I had never even heard of Zero Hour!. And holy crap again, wikipedia says that they bought the rights to the film when they made Airplane! and used the screenplay mostly verbatim. No f'n way! :eek: I must see this.

I bet many of you remember this trailer for Kubrick's The Shining. It still gives me chills to this day, and that's almost completely thanks to Wendy Carlos' genius music track, which was composed for but unused in the finished film itself.

Apparently, Roland Emmerich was mighty impressed by that music as well, because here it is again. This teaser trailer for 2012 pays homage by swiping the piece whole. (I assume Carlos is getting a decent royalty for this.) Of course, there are some added contemporary whooshes and thumps added to the track, though I can't help but think the trailer would be better off without them. (I'm a big non-fan of the un-subtle Mickey Mousing of every single visual element in today's blockbuster cinema.) Still, an interesting tribute.

And there's a question I have. Why is Roland Emmerich still making movies? His movies stinketh. He and Kevin Costner, out ta pasture with the both of yous guys.

Makes me want to watch The Shining again ... RIGHT NOW!


Oh, and with apologies to everyone ... and I've enjoyed my life so very much ... but I've had just about enough, and I wouldn't mind at all if the prophesies were true and the world comes to an end in 2012.




Or before the release of that film ... whichever comes first.

So if 2012 comes out in 2009 and then the world really does end in 2012 could it qualify as a disaster movie or not?

Roland Emmerich, end of the world, blah blah blah.

Has anyone seen the red-band trailer for Miss March?
