Gone Fishing: Left Links in Fridge
The Onelargeprawn blog staff will be away this weekend. The copy-paste elves haven’t had a holiday since the inception of this blog and I thought it would be nice to let them out the basement for once. They will be travelling in the boot of the car, which quite frankly is luxurious compared to the sty the vicious ankle-biters live in now. Any complainers will be summarily used as fishing bait.
Normal transmission will commence on Monday. In the meantime, some links.

Tango by Zbigniew Rybczynski
Tango is a short film by Zbigniew Rybczynski. There is a static shot of a single room and over the 8-minute span of the film, 36 different characters enter the room at different times and perform a specific action. Each character never acknowledges the presence of the other characters.
Tango won an Oscar for Best Animated Short Film in 1983. Rybczynski talks about the project on his website:
Thirty-six characters from different stages of life – representations of different times – interact in one room, moving in loops, observed by a static camera. I had to draw and paint about 16.000 cell-mattes, and make several hundred thousand exposures on an optical printer. It took a full seven months, sixteen hours per day, to make the piece. The miracle is that the negative got through the process with only minor damage, and I made less than one hundred mathematical mistakes out of several hundred thousand possibilities. In the final result, there are plenty of flaws ® black lines are visible around humans, jitters caused by the instability of film material resulting from film perforation and elasticity of celluloid, changes of colour caused by the fluctuation in colour temperature of the projector bulb and, inevitably, dirt, grain and scratches.

My will to work on Friday is like Paris Hilton’s thong – it doesn’t exist.
And Totem Destroyer II understands my sheer lack of work ethic today. In each level you need to bomb all of the destructible blocks (or totems) by clicking on them, your ultimate going is to ensure the golden idols do not touch the ground. Different types of block behave in different ways when exploded so blast your way carefully.

It’s a tough job but some basterd has to get it done. From the acclaimed director Quentin Tarantino comes Inglourious Basterds, a war film/spaghetti western that sees Brad Pit as a Nazi-hating badass who seeking mighty vengeance against his foes, one skull-cracking hit at a time.
Here’s the trailer. The movie is due for release in the US in August 2009.

I heart post-its
I can doodle with the best of them, and most of the time it’s on office supplied post-it notes. Post-its are an awesome invention, and The Post-it project is an awesome blog with loads of post-it art – most of it much better than I could ever do. The work of Sergio Zuniga is particularly impressive.
