“Scary Movie” Doppleganger

by

Imagine yourself on a winding two lane road, fogbound, 25 miles from nowhere and the ‘low tire pressure warning’ sounding for 2 tires, and, of course, you only have one donut spare that’s low on air. And if that’s not enough, your gas gauge is warning in it’s best ‘see, I told you so’ Google voice saying, “you have 2.2 miles until empty, dummy. You should have filled up at the 7-Eleven where you bought the bad burritos.”  And speaking of bad burritos, the cramps are coming so fast and hard that you know it’s time to make for the bushes and hope there’s no poison ivy.  When… up ahead you spot…??   Tail lights…??  Wazat…??  OMG!!  I’m in my own “Scary Movie!!”

‘Stop Action’ Genius or Poster Child for International OCD Foundation

You judge, but do watch. His project is wonderful.

Phil Tippett has spent a lifetime in the film industry, working as a model-maker, visual effects supervisor, director and stop-motion animator.

He’s been involved with big-name productions such as Star Wars, Jurassic Park, and RoboCop among others. But his real passion lies in handmade stop-motion animation. For over 30 years, Tippett has been working on an incredibly detailed film called “Mad God”. He describes it as being set “in a Milton-esque world of monsters, mad scientists and war pigs.” Amazingly, each character is painstakingly constructed by hand from foam, clay, latex and wire. Despite all the arduous toil, Tippett sees “Mad God” as a form of therapy and a way to reconnect with a time when special effects and animation were all done by hand.

Ride, Forrest, Ride

CNN Money has the chocolates on Forrest Gump, “Now you, too, can “Run, Forrest, run!”

Nike is bringing back some vintage kicks from the pre-Jordan era: the Classic Cortez running shoes that were a hit in the 70’s and worn in the 1994 feel-good flick “Forrest Gump.”

Even those who never ran a marathon in the Cortez shoes — or weren’t alive in the ’70s — might still recognize them from the Tom Hanks film, where his character Gump wears them on a cross-country run from Alabama to the Southwest. Gump also wears them in the famous park bench scene where he cogitates about chocolates.

It’s amazing how Forrest’s slow twin, Timmber, has figured out that it’s much better to ride than run, but he still like those Nike Cortez runners.

Forest Gump’s slow twin, Timmber. “Ride, Timmber, Ride!”

 

Nobody Takes an ‘Effing Liberal ‘In Blackface’ Seriously – Sarah Silverman?

by

From Buzzfeed we get a bit with “Sarah Silverman performing in blackface because she “takes her work at face value.” And somehow that’s funny??  And somehow the entire Liberal Elite Establishment and the entire repertoire of #SJW-Social Justice Warrior groups, and the BLM’s etc. aren’t coming for her with bricks, clubs and bottle of urine??  Where’s Maxine Waters?  Nancy Pelosi?  Or Crazy Ol’ Howard “The Scream” Dean??  Crickets everywhere.  ‘Cause her name ain’t Trump.  ‘Effing hypocrites.
