It was an old place, though, so it was only filled with the classic monsters, like Frankenstein, the Wolf Man, and the Mummy. Ving Rhames was with me, so he was pretty disappointed there weren't any zombies.

It was pretty good. I still think Kirk was a better captain though. I hope Lucas makes a sequel where we find out what happens to Darth Vader's kids. I know Palpatine chose Anakin, but I think Tana had a chance to be his new apprentice. I wonder why all the spaceships suddenly become crappy in between Episodes 3 and 4. The next generation of kids are going to watch these in numerical order, and once they start Episode IV, they'll be like, "What the hell just happened? You go from computer animated flying robots to stormtroopers bumping their heads!" Fathers will talk of the first time they saw Star Wars, and those kids will think them pretty stupid for being surprised that Darth Vader is Luke's father. Was it just me or was Emperor Palpatine a metaphor for Bush? I hate to say this, but you'll never make anything with the scope of Star Wars, so don't even try.Eric Harthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14456403043006612540noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10931102.post-1116482626565491122005-05-19T01:53:00.000-04:002005-05-19T02:03:46.596-04:00Jut<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eqqman/14588311/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://photos11.flickr.com/14588311_7b3cc336b9_o.jpg" width="720" height="576" alt="Jut" /></a><br />Cool <a href="http://www.gobelle.com/p/articles/mi_m1069/is_n3_v32/ai_18324944">article</a> here. Talks about the appropriation of obscure photography and other art as visual ideas for music videos. Common practice in most visual design, though music videos tend to just recreate the photograph completely. Tsk tsk. In grad school, we were always doing stuff like this, finding a bunch of photographs that had the mood and feel for whatever show we were designing. Then sticking them in Photoshop and cutting and pasting them into bits of scenery; this chunk becomes a wall, this is the floor, these are the actors, here's a prop. You mess with it enough so it doesn't look like plagiarism, but that's pretty much how the professional world of production design goes. One of the students once downloaded some costume designs from another show and traced them. That got her in a bit of trouble; when you make the copying obvious, you threaten to blow the whole deal. And you never steal from theatre to do theatre; you steal photographs, paintings, and installation art. What are you, new?Eric Harthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14456403043006612540noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10931102.post-1116398329896541402005-05-18T02:30:00.000-04:002005-05-18T02:38:49.916-04:00Old bald midgets on bikes are spooky<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/eqqman/14430231/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://photos10.flickr.com/14430231_575678f66d_o.jpg" width="720" height="576" alt="Old Man's House" /></a><br />I wish I had the words to the rest of that rap...<br /><br />This is the werewolf's house.
