Boob Toob Supplemental: There's actually some good stuff in here this time... I promise!

It's been a long time, I shouldn't have you... without a dope beat to step to... step to step to step to... Remember that song? No? Ahh it doesn't matter. What I wanted to say is I'm back so strap yourselves in cos you're going for a ride!

Here's a good animated short film by South Korean studio Alfred Imageworks (check out their Vimeo page for some other videos). And by good, I mean Pixar level in terms of animation and also the humour and quirkiness although I admit there's a point in the animated short where things diverge from the usual Pixar fare.

It's about a space delivery man and one of the things that happens when he's out delivering a package. Sooooo funny and I kinda wish they'd do more of it, just him going to different planets and delivering stuff. Oh wait, they already made Futurama.

Anyway, this short film is 5 mins long so please do me a favour and watch it. Especially you, Bobgar!

Project 2501 - Homage to Ghost in the Shell

These guys are taking fan tributes to the next level! As the title suggests, this is a homage to Mamoru Oshii's film, Ghost in the Shell, based on Masamune Shirow's manga of the same name. What they've done is they've recreated the film's opening sequence using a series of still images they've created with a mix of live action and computer generate imagery. Be warned: there is nudity.

Check out Hollywood graphic designer Ash Thorp's website to see the awesome still images they've created plus a list of the people involved. Seriously, go there and check it out cos they're amazing. Well done to Ash Thorp and his team.

Underground Hero Love To Hate Me

Here's a short documentary by director/cinematographer Luke Huxham on a Yakuza member talking about his love of Lamborghinis. If nothing else, check out the fancy Pimp My Ride style Lambos. More info and a "making of" video at The Verge.

X-Men: Days of Future Past interview on The Feed

Mark Fennel interviews Hugh Jackman and Peter Dinklage on The Feed. Funny guys and lots of good stuff in there, such as Patrick Stewart being HUGE in Woolloomooloo. Who knew? Also a detailed description of how Wolverine was able to look all big and veiny. He should change his name to HUGE Jackman.

Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead trailer

Thanks a bunch to Mr Rob Vernson for bringing this to my attention.

Gojira party!

Bill Murray 4 life

No embeds because I have no idea what kinda Voodoo magic they’re using on the site but check out this article on Deadspin (with video) of Bill Murray crashing a bachelor party and giving some good advice. I hope they invent the Infinity Formula soon and give it to Mr Murray because I want him to be around forever.

A Bunch of Trailers and some Studio Ghibli

New year, new stuff to watch. Starting with one of my most anticipated movies of 2014...

Godzilla trailer

Not a lot to say except SCREEEEEEECH! Also, Bryan Cranston! And Ken "Ra's Al Ghul" Watanabe. And Rosen from Alphas. And Kick-Ass.

The Raid 2: Berandal official trailer

Okay so the trailer I posted on the last Boob Toob Supplemental was actually the red band trailer and this is the official trailer. So much action in the trailer alone. Can't wait to see this!

Jupiter Ascending trailer

Forgot to post this back in December when it was released. Cool trailer for the next film by Andy & Lana Wachowski. I loved their work on Cloud Atlas especially the future sci-fi scenes* so I'm looking forward to seeing how they tackle a full blown sci-fi movie.

By the way, I loved the heck out of Speed Racer. Still do. Just wanted to say that.

* This might be partially because of Korean model/actress Doona Bae who played the robot in those future scenes. She also played the sex doll who gains sentience in the movie Air Doll. As silly as that may sound, it's a proper movie and a good one at that. Go watch it!

The Grandmaster trailer

This movie has been on my 'to watch' list for some time. Don't let the "in theatres January 31" bit fool you, that's January 31, 2013! It looks amazing and I've heard good things about it. So this might make it into a future Boob Toob.

2013 in Gaming - The Year in Under 2 Minutes

Need to get caught up on last year’s games? Here ya go. Heck, I need to get caught up on at least 5 years worth of games.

Simpsons Ghibli!

I haven't seen the actual episode that this appears in but awwwwww yeah!

I recently saw two Studio Ghibli films: Tales from Earthsea and Arietty (or The Borrower Arietty or The Secret World of Arietty). Won't say too much since I may mention them on a future Boob Toob but both are good animated flicks.
