Those chairs are curiously hilarious.

Sterling always says it best. Unless Pam says it first. Splooge!

As of right now there is noise to get IATSE involved, but VFX artists have no union representation otherwise.

Well I'm just on the first one, so I can't speak as to the continuity. I like a good violent historical fantasy with a lot of solid research behind it, so it seems good so far...

Also, hopefully, as the floodwaters rise, "This shit just got real!"

Am digging the Mongoliad right now...switching between reading it and 'Going Clear,' which makes for some fucked-up dreams. Thanks for the tips about your reference collection! I might add some of those to my personal favorites that I use for teaching - Weapons and Armor from the Army Museum in Paris, Viking Weapons…

I couldn't see the bicep because the delt is so fucking huge it gets in the way!

The photos at that guy's livejournal site are fucking gorgeous!

That show tapped into humanity's fucked-updedness in such an alarmingly apt way!

Mmm...some of these are cute, some are good, but only one of them is 'great', and it's the watercolor 'You Know Nothing, Jon Snow.' That illustrator has a terrific wrist.

Not having read the book, from that still it looks alarmingly like 'Young Starship Troopers.'

Or, if she DOES chew the scenery, she seasons it carefully first, and pairs it with a nice Viogner.

I thought the book was terrible. TERRIBLE. Like, the main character likes to do puzzles? Give me a fucking break. Frankly, the movie sounds better!

Some of that looked dreary as hell and some of it looked like shiny fun (which I attribute to Niccol, not Meyer, having read the book which I truly thought was dogshit), but the hilarious 'featuring whatever that song was' at the end basically negated all of it.

Just to add my two cents of suggestions from my bookshelf - these are books I've turned to time and again for either fun reading or inspiration:

That book terrified the shit out of me. And then, like a dumbass, I read 'The Demon in the Freezer' and had to give both books away and pretend there was no biological warfare out in the world!

Me too! Of all the books I've read on this list, it felt like the most like the film already playing in my head whenever I think of the 'apocalypse.'
