FanExpo 2011 Canada
FanExpo was a bit of a cluster fuck last year. Super long lines and way too small a space but this year promises to be different. They are now in the south building of the convention centre which is much bigger and they seem more prepared for the onslaught of people.
I went on Thursday and was impressed. I mostly go for Artist Alley but there were a ton of interesting things. I have a weekend pass so I will be going Friday, Saturday and Sunday too. Must remember not to spend too much money!
Disney’s Tangled
Well, I am off to see Disney’s Tangled this weekend. The animation style look very appealing to me. Almost like Disney tried to get the style of the computer animation to mimic the style of their traditional animation.
Once again though, I have the feeling that making this movie 3D is another waste of time. Who actually likes wearing those glasses and how many movies have you watched in 3D where it actually made a difference? I’ve seen one… Avatar.
I’m looking forward to the day 3D dies… although when that day comes, it would mean I’ll have to deal with it 20 years from now as it makes it’s way back… mid 50s, 80s, late 2000s and next stop, 2030s…
David Lynch’s SPIDER-MAN
Warren Ellis, comics writer of such things as Transmetropolitan, challenged the members of his Whitechapel community to design posters for a David Lynch film called “Spider-Man.” As Warren said, “You must design a poster for a movie called SPIDER-MAN directed by David Lynch. This is all you know. “ Check out the results! I may actually want to see some of these movies made.
Bangkok Knockout Trailer Knocks You Out
Twitch has an awesome trailer up for the new Panna Rittikrai film. All I have to say about this is “holy shit!” I wouldn’t even want to know the cost of insurance if such a movie were filmed in North America.
“The Thai martial artist, director and stunt coordinator rose to international prominence with the success of Ong Bak, a film he choreographed for his then largely unknown protege Tony Jaa.”
Head over to Twich to read more about this movie… I’ll be in line for this one!
