s'More Jay

In 2006, Michael Selditch and Rob Tate made a one-off TV special on Jay McCarroll for bravo called, "Project Jay." "Eleven Minutes" picks up where that story ends... The result is a down-and-dirty "Unzipped" with more work and less glamour. Click photo above to watch the trailer. [Via: Blogging Project Runway]

"Sergei Prokofiev's fanciful musical tale "Peter and the Wolf" is given new life in this innovative new animated interpretation, which won the 2008 Oscar® for Best Animated Short Film. "Oldies will remember the work from school music lessons," wrote London's OBSERVER, "while those coming to the story for the first time will be delighted with this darkly comic modernization." Originally composed in 1936, the piece famously uses personified instruments in the orchestra to tell the story -- also penned by the composer -- of young Peter and his animal friends the Duck, the Bird, and even a mischievous Cat (represented by an oboe, flute, and clarinet respectively). Peter, himself represented by the string section, becomes an unsuspecting hero and outwits the Wolf (French horns), who's intent on menacing his small Russian village -- not to mention Peter's beloved animal friends. Conceived and directed by award-winning animator Suzie Templeton, this modern-day "Peter & the Wolf" uses stop-frame model animation, puppets, and digital photography to retell the enduring classic story, and features the Philharmonia Orchestra under the direction of Mark Stephenson performing Prokofiev's beloved score.

Mark Stephenson also helmed the Philharmonia Orchestra for the film's live world premiere at London's Royal Albert Hall in September 2006. The Philharmonia was founded in 1945, primarily as a recording orchestra. It is the world's most recorded orchestra with more than 1,000 releases and is comprised of more than 80 musicians giving concerts in London and at its residencies and other venues around the U.K., in addition to touring all over the world."

Uh... the Flight Of The Conchords just walked past the Coffee Garden on Main Street and I just sat there because, well I had to get my coffee I guess. Drats! They were here performing at some corporate conference called Omniture Summit which wasn't open to the public. Talk about WAY dumb. If anyone has info on sightings or impromptu performances of Albi The Racist Dragon, please post comments.

!Update! Mr. "Jermaine" is filming a movie in town called, Gentlemen Broncos. [Thanks John W.]

Welcome To My Home

Maybe I've posted this before but it's the gift that keeps on giving. Brenda Dickson's "Welcome To My Home". Also see the many parody's if you can't get enough. (nsfw). Brenda is for real and according to her klassy website she's back in Hollywood creating "Red Carpet Madness".

Burnt By The Sun

I wish I had seen Sunshine in a theater. It's one of the best looking and though provoking Sci-Fi films in years from director Danny Boyle of 28 Days Later and the classic Trainspotting.

Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?

If you've never seen the classic movie Blade Runner or haven't in a while, definitely see Ridley Scott's new Final Cut remaster/re-edit. He took out the narration the studio imposed on him and added some new scenes along with tightening it up in general. It set the standard for the look of all science fiction that followed it and was more stylistically and visually creative than most of the digital effects based films we see today.
