Lions and Tigers and Zombies...Oh My!

I recently blogged about the group Pompalamoose and they did their own version of "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music. Well a new version has been surfing the digital waves of the Internets (that NEVER gets old). Enjoy:



Thanks to Hawty McBloggy for sharing the wealth. Make sure you always have a fresh clip handy you crazy kids!

A Vampire Movie I Actually WANT to Watch

I'm sure watching pubescent teenage boys with ripped bodies (and a spritz or two of Sexy Oil upon their young pecs) might appeal to some of you.  Not so much for me.  This, however, does:

Funny, Because I Just Watched "The Mist"

I'm sitting up watching the news and they talk about a strange light phenomenon that happened in Norway earlier today:



I watched the video several times and I immediately thought, wormhole...time to kick in Stage 1 of the Zombie Plan.  Then I found a news report claiming it was possibly just a failed Russian rocket launch.  The more I watch the video, the more it looks like a failed rocket launch.  Maybe I should check the pantry to see how much non-perishables we have anyway.

Glenn Beck is Probably Already Whipping Out the Lube

Got my montly issue of Golf Digest and this was the cover:



I'll make sure to put it in a plastic protector and give it to one of the grandkids in my Last Will and Testament.

Before History...Beyond Imagination!

Dusty blogged about this before, and I've been meaning to touch on it but the demands of trying to be creative seem to take up most of my available time.  I'm about to shut down for the night and I decided to give Jemara a little education on how awesome movies were when dad was growing up.  Namely, one of my most memorable films, Clash of the Titans...



I remember being terrified of Medusa.  She looked so real to me.  Of course, my imagination filled in a lot of the blanks claymation left behind.  And after looking at that trailer, there were a LOT of blanks.  Wow, we've come a long way in creating reality in a movie.  Of course, to Jemara, the 1980's Medusa was kind of comical, but I wonder if she'll be afraid of the computer rendered version in the new movie:



That trailer makes me giddy like a Japanese schoolgirl in a Sanrio store during a Hello Kitty sale.

I'm Sorry Ken, It's Karen's Fault

I was supposed to be working on some CLP goodness, but I get an e-mail from Dusty saying I should show a YouTube link to Jemara.  Purely based on faith, I beckoned Jemara and clicked the link without even knowing where it would take me.  "Karen wouldn't send me anything crazy...or would she?"  Crazy?  It was so crazy it took away precious time I had previously mentally invested to writing treatments, updating shot lists and reviewing scripts.  I don't use the term "precious time" loosely.  Even typing this blog is eating away at valuable seconds I could be using to ensure I get one step closer to doing a job I truly love, every single day.  Alas, sometimes while traversing the path to personal fulfillment you have to take a detour and tread along territory that is completely new.

The new territory is called Pomplamoose Music and they really are a detour worth taking.  If you haven't already cheated and Googled "pomplamoose", please bear with me for a few minutes while I babble some philosophical crap....annnnnnd action!

There are so many different types of people in the world and we run the full spectrum when it comes to talents and traits.  Within humanity we can have the absolute worst, but conversely the very best.  I am of the type of human who like to create.  I guess I would be called an artist by the laymen, but not only am I an artist, I absolutely love and respect others who create.  I really believe people of similar thinking tend to gravitate toward one another.  It is just the nature of The Universe.  So, whenever I'm presented with something that gives me a creativity-induced-orgasm, I have to pay it proper homage and what better way to do that than via the Internets?

What did Karen pass on for me to share with Jemara?  Something extremely cool and oh so very creative.  What happens when you take a very talented musical couple and mix it with some great audio/video editing?  Pomplamoose!

Me and Jemara's favorite song they do:


Some of my personal favorites:



And the song I absolutely love the most:


Want more?  Enlightenment is only a click away...

Sorry Ken.  I PROMISE to get back on track.  You've got to admit though, the distraction is pretty damn cool.

P.S.  Kept on following links and it led me to this:

Tricks and/or Treats

I know Halloween was more than a month ago...wow, it really is December.  2009 is running out of days.  Anyway, I never got around to editing the Halloween video we shot until recently because I was so busy.  Well, here's a tasty morsel to show you how the Zombie Church came to be as well as a few shots of all the wonderful friends and family who helped make it such a success.



BOO!!!
