OnelargeprawnIn case you missed our last post on District 9, here’s an extended featurette where the producer, director, and actors discuss the upcoming sci-fi flick.
District 9 will be invading South African shores on Friday, August 28th according to SterKinekor.
Created by Austrian animator and motion graphic designer, Clemens Kogler, Le Grand Content tries to make sense of our lives and its pitfalls through the use of Venn diagrams, pie charts, and graphs.
My favourite section is the graphical representation of one’s intended career path versus one’s actual career path. The difference between the two is the reason why we drink. In that case, I should be a raging alcoholic ;-)
See the video below.
The diagrams used were inspired by Jessica Hagy’s site, Indexed.

This super mashup is the mother of all sci-fi movies. YouTuber FYWBreborn mashed the films The Empire Strikes Back, Aliens, Terminator 2, Star Trek, Terminator Salvation, and Transformers 2 into a ginormous explosion fest that would even make Michael Bay get a stiffy.
Check out the trailer for TerminEmpireTrekAliensFormers – that’s a working title ;-)
I’d pay to see this.

Some time back we posted about Roland Emmerich’s upcoming disaster flick 2012. If you found the trailer a touch too serious, then here’s re-cut that may just make you feel a little happier.
The folks over at i09 used creative styling and music from the 70s to emphasize the film’s strong points – plane disaster, train disaster, whole city disaster! The most spectacular disaster porn EVER! Did I mention how disasterific it is?!?
All movie trailers should be made like this.

Everything Johnny Depp touches seems to turn cult. Heck, I’d even let him touch me inappropriately…if the price is right :inlove:
From some memorable performances in Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Dead Man, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, the incomparable Mr Depp now plays the role of notorious 1930s bank robber John Dillinger in the movie Public Enemies. Nicknamed “the jackrabbit” for his graceful movements, Dillinger murdered loads of police officers, robbed over 12 banks (and four police stations!), and escaped jail on two occasions. He operated in the so-called “public enemy” era, a period that led to the birth of the FBI.
Directed by Michael Mann (Heat, Collateral, Miami Vice), Public Enemies recounts the last year of John Dillinger’s life during the Great Depression. See the trailer below.
It looks like a solid crime caper. It’s already out in the U.S., but I couldn’t find anything concrete on its release date in South Africa. I’m guessing September 4th.
Oh my. I don’t know where to begin, so I’m going to toss out some things at you:
Armpit katana | ass sword | face chainsaw | acidic lactation | bust machine gun | geisha tank transform | geisha missile | shrimp dagger
If you think any of these make good ingredients for a movie, then you’re going to love Noboru Iguchi’s scifi/horror/comedy flick RoboGeisha about a bunch of beautiful fembots that can kill you dead with an assortment of “interesting” weapons. The trailer is totally outrageous, hilarious, grotesque, and bizarre – see it below [probably NSFW].
What did you think – is it made of awesome or predictably Japanese? Drop us a comment.

Just a few days ago we featured some cool illustrations of the fearsome Darth Vader. Whilst he may have been an imposing figure and found your lack of faith to be disturbing, Vader was lightweight when it came to flirting with the ladies.
This character flaw can be seen when he falls in love with a female co-worker at a staff briefing. He makes a total hash of it, excuses himself, and ends up in the ladies toilet. Check it out below.
How embarrassing was that?

As iconic villains go, Darth Vader is surely one of the greatest. Falling to the dark side of the Force, the Sith Lord not only possessed a face for radio, but also became the scourge of the Jedi.
Given his supremely awesome powers (the Force Choke being my personal favourite), it’s no surprise to find Vader immortalized in some way or another. And here are some illustrations of the dude getting down with his bad self.

We ain’t in the prisoner-taking business. We in the killing-nazi business, and cousin, business is a’ booming!
In Quentin Tarantino’s war film, Inglourious Basterds, a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as “The Basterds” set out to scalp and kill Nazis, and blow up a couple of things along the way. This is the latest trailer – see it below or watch it in HD at YouTube.
It’s due for release the US in August ’09.
If there was ever anyone to challenge Michael Bay in the boom-boom stakes, it would have to be the German director, Roland Emmerich. And his upcoming disaster film, 2012, tells of a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world as we know it (or will know in 2012) and the struggle of a handful of survivors. It stars John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Oliver Platt, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Woody Harrelson and it set for a November 2009 release.
I’m a little tried of the whole disaster movie genre, but the 2012 trailer is full of CGI, pretty explosions, and small chunks of dialogue. And that’s certainly enough to keep my ADD-riddled brain engaged. Check it out below or see it in HD at YouTube.
The concept for the film is based on a Mayan belief that the world will end in 2012 so when the time comes, you’ll know who to blame ;-)
