Giant fire-breathing R2-D2
Feb. 25th, 2004 05:05 amNo, it's not a Magic: The Gathering/Star Wars crossover; it's the three words that describe why you should watch the Junkyard Mega-Wars "Night at the Movies" episode. ILM vs. Jim Henson's Creature Shop vs. KNB (who did the F/X for Evil Dead and Tremors, among other things). Brilliant! Possibly not the best thing to watch when I feel like I missed the boat on being an F/X technician, but I suppose I'm feeling more energized than bleak now. It'll be on again Sunday 2/29 at 3PM.
I can also recommend 28 Days Later, which I finally watched on DVD. It's a very good, very British zombie movie, though I'd probably classify it as post-apocalyptic rather than zombie. People behave stupidly more often than I'd like, but it's got a solid plot, real characters, and a genuinely scary tire-changing scene. Possibly good as a double feature with 12 Monkeys, and not just because of the numbers. Shot on no budget by the director of Trainspotting, Danny Boyle. Winner: best graffiti, revealed in a slow pan upward from the last word to the first:
THE END IS
EXTREMELY
FUCKING
NIGH
