"That is both the greatest, and worst thing I have ever seen."

I posted this on the Bendis Board and that was the first response I got. As it happens, it's a perfect summation.

Not for the squeamish or those of delicate sensibilities:

BOOM!!!

It's not often I get to use this tag....

Originally created for the Wolverine trailer, "HE JUMP ON HELICOPTER" is my favorite dumb blog tag to try to use, usually in only mildly appropriate ways.

Today, however, is the real fuckin' deal.



(and incidentally, no relation to the Marky Mark/Tim Burton shitfest)

I have to think it's a gag...

...'cause if it's real, we all gonna die.

Two things:
1) The first five seconds reveal a fascinating secret about one of our own fellow bloggers!

2) It's worth watching all the way through, but watch it with a friend so you can MST3K it.

Battle: Los Angeles, Round 2

A month or two back I posted the surprisingly well done trailer for this, the latest big budget alien invasion movie. Here's the new trailer, showing more of the movie's Blackhawk Down sensibilities:

HALLOWEEN BLOGSTRAVAGANZA begins...

NOW.

As per tradition, I'll be making at least one horror-themed post from now till Halloween night. Everyone's invited to join in. Post ghost stories, YouTube vids of UFOs, creepy horror art - anything that fits the Halloween theme!

Walking Dead - San Diego Comic Con Trailer

It's a little grainy, but it's certainly watchable.  Looks good to me.

Ratatat is a duo from Brooklyn who do hiphop/electronica instrumentation. That first sentence may have completely turned you off, but check out their video for Mirando.

...make this link a wee bit NSFW, but there ain't no boobies.

Click here to see a slideshow of this very blog's Chris in what is easily THE most metal and gore filled photoset I've ever done.

Note: I had to flag the content as adult, so you gotta be logged into Flickr with your NSFW filter turned off to see even a single photo.

Another Note: This is a "narrative" set that tells a story, and there's 75 images to the set. Believe it or not, it doesn't "feel" that long though. (just timed it; it takes 5 minutes and 2 seconds to play the slideshow)

Even More Notation: Chris asked me not to post this on Facebook or anywhere his professional rep might be tarnished, so no cross postin'

Trailer for the remake of a lesser known Romero film. Slightly zombie-ish in tone, but more like an outbreak of insanity.



Okay, that last scene was bad comedy, but otherwise...looked creepy.

Moscow's Stray Dogs Evolving Greater Intelligence, Including a Mastery of the Subway

For every 300 Muscovites, there's a stray dog wandering the streets of Russia's capital. And according to Andrei Poyarkov, a researcher at the A.N. Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution, the fierce pressure of urban living has driven the dogs to evolve wolf-like traits, increased intelligence, and even the ability to navigate the subway.

Poyarkov has studied the dogs, which number about 35,000, for the last 30 years. Over that time, he observed the stray dog population lose the spotted coats, wagging tails, and friendliness that separate dogs from wolves, while at the same time evolving social structures and behaviors optimized to four ecological niches occupied by what Poyarkov calls guard dogs, scavengers, wild dogs, and beggars.

The guard dogs follow around, and receive food from, the security personnel at Moscow's many fenced in sites. They think the guards are their masters, and serve as semi-feral assistants. The scavengers roam the city eating garbage. The wild dogs are the most wolf-like, hunting mice, rats, and cats under the cover of night.

But beggar dogs have evolved the most specialized behavior. Relying on scraps of food from commuters, the beggar dogs can not only recognize which humans are most likely to give them something to eat, but have evolved to ride the subway. Using scents, and the ability to recognize the train conductor's names for different stops, they incorporate many stations into their territories.

Additionally, Poyarkov says the pack structure of the beggars reflects a reliance on brain over brawn for survival. In the beggar packs, the smartest dog, not the most physically dominant, occupies the alpha male position.

The evolution of Moscow's stray dogs has been going on since at least the mid-1800s, when Russian writers first mentioned the stray dog problem in the city. And that evolution has been propelled by deadly selective pressure. Most of the strays arrive on the streets as rejected house pets. Of those dogs kicked out of their homes, Poyarkov estimates fewer than 3 percent live long enough to breed. To survive those odds, a dog really does have to be the fittest.

I'm sorry but it's funny ;P

Not a new trailer, but I came across it again the other day and I think it looks kinda cool.

Thoughts?
