Australian Tragic is Tomed Heebie-Jeebies

noreply@blogger.com (blankshooting) — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 18:03:00 PDT

Awake in the wee hours of morning past, uncovered tales of a Lucky Country caffeinated the weary longingly: Moloch While waiting at Circular Quay for a ferry to take them to Sydney's Luna Park on June 9, 1979, the Godson family are approached by a Satanic-looking figure dressed in a loincloth and wearing a mask with horns (pictured above). The creature voicelessly places his hand on young Damian Godson's shoulder. Somebody snaps a photograph. It is the last photograph of the boy ever...

Bored of blankshooting?

noreply@blogger.com (blankshooting) — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 18:03:00 PDT

So hearting out for Studio Ghibli films at the moment. A caveat though; Hayao Miyazaki's films. Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away are givens, My Neighbor Totoro is a definite fave, even in its surrealness (Catbus!) and incongruous Japanese setting versus Caucasian protagonists (yes, it's anime style so not so Far East features are on display - what gives?) Laputa is on the radar, as is Kiki's and Nausicaa but in the meantime, persons suggest for you: banalytics. Whitebread for the blogger.

Javanese Left 4 Dead!

360-challenged zombie-cullers can now rejoice in this interweb version of L4D! Left 4K Dead is Markus Persson's entry to the 2009 Java 4K Competition and it's a cracker of a slasher / zombie-liberator! Use W-A-S-D to move, mousage to look around, 'R' to reload and freedom all but a left mouse button away!

I Watches the Watchmen

noreply@blogger.com (blankshooting) — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 19:41:00 PDT

Deep beneath the caverns of Minotaur in an age of seemingly longing eons, fanboys rejoice as Alan Moore's seminal graphic novel morphs from geeky inked paper to the gaudy silver screen of Hollywood. Bam! Zap! Biff! Pow! What a metamorphosis! For years, a film adaptation of Watchmen was placed in the "too hard" basket but for director Zack Snyder, this was the perfect encore to 300. If you're not familiar with the source material, it is a whodunnit of anti-superhero proportions set in an...

Al Bino: It's a Beautiful Day ... for Cancer

noreply@blogger.com (blankshooting) — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 08:30:00 PST

For the best part of this summer, an infectious riff of equal parts annoyance and hilarity has imprinted itself on the unassuming cerebral cortices of the Australian populous. Time will reveal whether the perpetrator is legitimate or the next Allen Stanford but for now, Al Bino and his It's a Beautiful Day ... for Cancer is as infectious as an STI. WTF? Seriously, notwithstanding his MySpace, is this Al fo' rizzeal? His moniker is an obvious hat tip to albinism, the hypopigmentary...

The Simpsons: New HD Opening Montage

noreply@blogger.com (blankshooting) — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 06:26:00 PST

After 19 years of being introduced to the world's favourite dysfunctional family via virtually the same opening montage, the animators in Korea have recut, revamped and reanimated a new Simpsons intro for its foray into the HD realm. Judge for yourself! Although not a massive departure from the original, it is crisper and high-defier than ever before. So after all these years, I now know Maggie is costed at $US243.26. Even in these times of economic hardship, that would have to be...

Review of Minutes to Midnight: Linkin Park

noreply@blogger.com (blankshooting) — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 23:11:00 PST

Twenty months after the fact, a dose of Guitar Hero World Tour and a dash of tween-vamp OST has finally got Linkin Park's Minutes to Midnight on rotation. The record departs from the group's usual take on alt rock tinged with nu metal slash rap rock for a more explorative, even mellow, sound. Seriously; Leave Out All The Rest forms part of the official Twilight soundtrack - yes, that same vamp film which you had no clue about until hordes of grown-up and brooding Harry Potter fans started...

Always Check Your Children's Homework

noreply@blogger.com (blankshooting) — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 19:47:00 PST

Not sure how genuine this is but it sure did give me a chuckle ... Dear Mrs. Jones, I wish to clarify that I am not now, nor have I ever been, an exotic dancer. I work at Home Depot and I told my daughter how hectic it was last week before the blizzard hit. I told her we sold out every single shovel we had, and then I found one more in the back room, and that several people were fighting over who would get it. Her picture doesn't show me dancing around a pole. It's supposed to...

A Monkey on a Goat on a Cup on a Tightrope!

Prepare to be amazed, astonished, astounded and absolutely lost for words when you see the Not-Approved-By-PETA-Circus' mystical monkey balancing atop a grandiose goat defying death on a culpable-cup perched upon the tightrope of death!!!

Streaky Bra Support

noreply@blogger.com (blankshooting) — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 21:31:00 PST

Women need to consider many factors when purchasing a new bra: cup size, straps weighing down shoulders, chest band being too snug or too roomy, etcetera. Too often, however, women tend to overlook the type of material that their new bra may be made of or contain. Many bras contain materials that you may be allergic to but not aware of when you make your purchase. Nickle and plastics are two examples. Bacon is another. Don't be fooled by the enticing décolletage and beware of this...

The Secret Language of Women

noreply@blogger.com (blankshooting) — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 18:18:00 PST

A warning to all men who dare tackle feminine engagement. To all women, rejoice in its rectitude. "Fine" Used by a woman to end an argument, often when she is right. In all instances, a man should shut up when it is used. "Five minutes" If used by a woman when she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Exception: if a man has been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house, then five minutes means five minutes. "Nothing" This does not mean...
