Star Wars Hilarity

[#] posted at 8:03 PM (GMT +1200)

I'd never seen the Darth Vader one which is already well known, but this Luke Skywalker one is pretty damn loltastic too...


And then the Vader one...

Flairs - Trucker's Delight

[#] posted at 2:05 PM (GMT +1200)

Forgot to post this last week, certainly not safe for work, but you probably don't like your job anyway and this video is awesome.

Why I Love Science...

[#] posted at 2:31 AM (GMT +1200)

My brother sent me a video this week of a 3D render of the galaxies imaged in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (wikipedia entry): a series of images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope between 2003 and 2004 that looks back approximately 13 billion years ago and images about 10,000 galaxies.

Not stars mind you. Galaxies. Each one possible of holding billions or trillions of star systems.

And this wasn't through a big patch of the sky either, but in a tiny region of space the size of a square millimeter held a metre away from your eye. That leaves out 12.7 million single cubic millimetre patches of sky that possibly yields some similar results.

Like the following video says, all those figures are too huge of a figure to just compute in the human brain. And I'd agree.

I read of this image being taken some years ago, but it wasn't till about a year ago when I stumbled across this image file that compares the scale of our solar system to that of the known universe and the Hubble Ultra Deep Field itself, that I had the pleasure of properly getting my brain's nutsacks blown off.

It's a big file (approx 1.5megs), so I'm not gonna post it here directly, but check it out and scroll through from the top and It'll be sure to put some decent insignificance spice into your food for thought soup. Trivial things happen every day and our lives continually shift because of it, but with a little science, it's pretty easy to put things into perspective of how tiny we all really are and blah, blah, blah, the existential thinking, just check out what I'm talking about here.

Anyway, going back to the original point of it, here's the video and a full in depth examination article of the Ultra Field worth checking out here.

The Milky Way Time-lapse

[#] posted at 2:25 AM (GMT +1200)

Totally cool, this is a time-lapse video of the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy rising over Texas from 9:20 PM to 6:43 AM on April 21-22, 2009. Totally awesome.

Some videos that I've meant to post about in the last few weeks but kept closing the window before finishing

[#] posted at 4:23 PM (GMT +1200)

Continuing on a love of Craig Robinson and porn. Here's Craig Robinson in the lastest PG Porn video. Hilarity.


Probably the last Watchmen related thing I'll post. Not that I've been posting much about Watchmen. Not that I really care. This video is amusing anyway.


The trailer for The Brothers Bloom is out and this is near the top of my can't wait to see list of upcoming movies. Big love for Rian Johnson and Brick and the word is this is right up there. Check the proper HD trailer hereA.


And finally, coming back to porn, is Isabella Rossellini's Green Porno, which is now out with a second season. Green Porno is a series of videos where Isabella Rossellini reenacts the animal kingdoms mating ritual with cardboard cutouts. I remember when the first season came out and it was a bitch to try to watch it outside of the US but now its all viewable in any country and viewable here. Its awesome.

Some Post-Birthday Boosh

[#] posted at 12:37 AM (GMT +1200)

Had a pretty damn good birthday shindig and many thanks to all who came along to celebrate. This week will see me enjoying the rockin' sounds of Ryan Adams and drinking a farewell to a friend who's jumping across the ditch to Australia just cause he can. The crazy bastard.

My friend Fin has resumed blogging again to which the world gives praise to Robot Jesus for. Commence reading his sultry words here at http://findlaydonnan.wordpress.com/. There's a birthday post somewhere he made for me that includes a video of me some years back. I'm not gonna directly link to it, cause I'm passively embarrassed like that, but feel free to look for it yourself.

My other friend Joe also sent me this, it's actually intended for Christmas, but his powers of procrastination can rival mine at times, so I'm gonna post it like its a birthday thing.



Actually, I also got sent this by Shoshana, originally taken during my birthday party. Don't ask. I'm not even sure what I could give as an answer.



And finally, here's a three cello rendition of The Final Countdown. Boosh!

What I've Been Watching: Frisky Dingo

[#] posted at 11:16 PM (GMT +1200)

The most awesome new adult swim cartoon of recent years. It's so hard to describe and to pin point where exactly in all the crazy randomness lies the awesome, so I can only say that it is all awesome. Rather than a scene, here's a compilation video of their use of the word "boosh".



It's like kakow.

Finally Back Bitches

[#] posted at 12:25 AM (GMT +1200)

So I had a holiday and at the end of it was like, man, back to work and I suppose I should get back to blogging. But then I decided that I liked being on holiday, so decided to take a little more of a break from the internet and blogging in general. But then that holiday just turned into laziness and hence why I'm now weeks overdue on posting anything. Go me.

So things have certainly been happening. Two lots of friends have finished their film shoots over the new years. The good folk at Downending films filmed the bulk of their Kaikahu Road and I look forward to seeing some filmstuff from them soon. From what second hand talks I've heard, they've just got a few pick ups to do a few months down the track, but they managed to shoot the bulk of a feature film in less than two weeks and that certainly says something about efficieny.

Meanwhile the lads of Chasing Time productions have nearly finished their shoot of One Fat Man's music video/experimental film thing that's to tie in with Jeremy's new album "a typical day in suburbia". I've sneaked a peak at a little of the footage and it's got some pretty neat-o stuff, so here's to seeing how that goes down the line.

In other films news? Yeah, got nothing, but hey, here are two totally awesome ads. The first one from Cadbury, hot on the heels of their strange but awesome Gorilla ad is one with these freaky kids with freaky eyebrows getting their funk on. Apparently its not computer generated or anything, but watch the video for yourself and decide just how human these kids are.



The second ad for T-Mobile takes an awesome concept from the Improv Everywhere guys and applying it on a bigger scale with more people and an obvious budget and such. Hard to describe, so just click play and enjoy the fun.

Why Is Nathan Fillion So Awesome?

[#] posted at 2:21 AM (GMT +1200)

As opposed to Fin's rather cruel post, this PG Porn video is awesome. I mean, for one, it's got Nathan Fillion and ain't nothing he does is not worth watching... I'm so tired I can't tell if that last sentence means what I meant it to mean. Christ I need sleep. Watch the goddamn video!

The Internet Hates You

[#] posted at 2:59 PM (GMT +1200)

Forgot to mention the second Hamilton screening of It Came From the Swamp was on last night. There will be an Auckland screening tonight at the Wine Cellar, so if anyone isn't up to anything and in the area up there, head on over and check out some quality films.

Alternatively you can check out this new Microsoft Zune ad. We don't have Zunes in New Zealand and its pretty doubtful we ever will, but that doesn't matter. Just watch this video and be amazed... hehehe.

Awesome Hardcore

[#] posted at 9:29 PM (GMT +1200)

Found through the 48 forums, one part of me is thinking "holy crap that's hardcore" and the other part of me is thinking, I wants that sexy HD adjustable fps camera.

Beware of slightly intense, but awesome head punching in slow mo.
