Got properly drunk last night at the ‘A Night At The Pictures’ event, both cause there was a lot of free booze (yay sponsors Stella) and cause the auction event was a raging sucess… almost $3000 was raised from the auctions and $2000 from ticket and drink sales! Looks like Pictures of You is shaping up to have a nice budget indeed.

But yeah, drank a lot and came back to Auckland in the same night. Slept for a bit and suffered a massive hangover for the rest of the day. Actually, I’m still feeling a little under the weather, and spent most of my time finding interesting, wierd stuff on the internet.

Like, crying while eating.

And, Native American faces on Google Earth.

Re-uses of technology… totally cool.

And Ok Go on treadmills… awesomeness.

Fantasticly cool article by wired where they got a whole bunch of awesome writers from books, comics and movies to write a short story made up of only six words. This post’s title is taken Alan Moore’s one, my favourite. Find the rest here.

Also, I’m once again doing the whole cameo thing for the school’s end of year productions. Acted as a student on a shoot this morning and as a slave in hell this evening which was lots of fun. About 20 extras all drenched in blood, flailing around and playing dead in a room… awesomeness, but very tiring. So before heading off to bed, here’s Jack Black on piracy…

This Friday in Hamilton, there’s a screening event, working both as a fundrasier for Pictures of You and a celebration of film in the Waikato. Being hosted by Film Waikato, it’ll be worth going down for a look, tickets are $10 and can be purchased through Ticket Direct.

The line up of films look pretty good and I’ve weaseled some of my stuff into the line up. So check it out, because what else are you going to do?

Further details can be gotten here.

So yeah, once again absent, but this time I’ve at least got around to putting a few updates to the rest of the site. Some art stuff is finally up and added a couple of photos to the ever changing header. Sub-sections for films will eventually go up along with downloadable videos. It’s all in a bid to make myself a little more pro-active and less depressed about the things I’m being slack at.

Elsewhere, our end of year films are starting to get made and they’re shaping up quite nicely I hear. Mines still chugging along slowly, but thats only because I’ve been too busy curing world hunger… and not because I’m lazy.

Yesterday I got to finally go to the Armageddon convention and sheer geekiness poured out of every window that was allowed open. Got some great bargains on cheep DVDs and comics, whilst touching myself a lot watching Blade Runner on the big screen. Totally awesome, but totally poor too. Still, I’m looking forward to it next year.

Oh and this should have been posted a lot earlier, but the trailer for 300 is officially out and dear god… it is also something to touch yourself over. Downloadable here.

Two teaser trailers for the sexy Hot Fuzz here and here.

And two hair pulling movie title trivia games here (with office stationary) and here (on a cryptic painting).

Big congrats to Doug and Caroline who got married over the weekend. And by tomorrow morning will be flying off to their honeymoon in Australia. They’ve been together for one helluva long time and are almost sickeningly perfect for each other, so all the best to the both of you. You deserve it.
