WATCH THE "WATCHMEN"

2008-07-19T08:48:18-07:00

“The smartest, most subversive superhero story ever created” released it's first trailer. "Watchmen," what some call the "Citizen Kane" of graphic novels, is a complex, multi-layered mystery adventure film set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the "Doomsday Clock" -- which charts the USA's tension with the Soviet Union -- is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. (cont'd)

When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed-up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion -- a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers -- Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity...but who is watching the Watchmen?

RADIOHEAD'S "HOUSE OF CARDS"

2008-07-14T21:26:54-07:00

Radiohead's "House of Cards" video from the album "In Rainbows" is so F*ING COOL. Instead of cameras and lights, the video was made using 3D plotting technologies that collected information about the shapes and relative distance between the objects - creating visualizations entirely out of that data. MANIPULATE THE DATA YOURSELF!

Watch the making-of video to learn about how the video was made and the various technologies that were used to capture and render 3D data.

BARRIO BEACH by RICARDO MUÑIZ

2008-07-13T23:01:28-07:00

Puerto Rican art photographer and puppeteer Ricardo Muñiz' work is focused on cultural recognition and pride: he dedicates himself to photographing and promoting models, designers, stylists and artists of color. For his Ethan Says premiere, Barrio Beach, Ricardo received international support from some of our favorite companies. Barrio Beach features the rugged apparel of Boiish in New York, the provocative swimwear of Vizeau from France, the trendsetting designs of French accessories company, Beryll, and from Australia, the ever-favorite, Aussiebum.

New York has many famed beaches, but for many in the inner city, a sandy shore is not the only place to strut your stuff. For this editorial, models Kent Edwards (African American, white and Native American), Deilín Sanz (Dominican), Santiago Peralta (Argentine), Giovanni Perez (Colombian), Was Palacios (Dominican) and Michael Herrick (mixed race, courtesy of Empire Model Management) demonstrate their hotness against the cold, hard bricks, mortar and concrete of New York that Ricardo fondly calls, Barrio Beach.

Above left: Kent reigns on the stoop behind Ricardo’s building wearing only a Boiish red, striped muscle tee, $35, and Ace frames by Beryll, starting at $310. Above right: Giovanni seduces in his Boiish red jersey pullover with hood, $45, and David frames by Beryll, starting at $310.

SANDBACH'S TIM OAKES "RELEASES THE SNAKE" FOR FAMOUSMALES

2008-07-12T19:24:10-07:00

For all you long-time readers, you'll probably remember the SANDBACH RUGBY TEAM'S EXCESSIVE MALE BONDING from June '07. It's since proved to be one of the most visited links at Ethansays.com and still, to this day, gets hundreds of hits a month. If you didn't see the original, be sure to CHECK IT OUT HERE (but only if you like naked rugby players involved in a bit of male bonding which, after the equivalent of 240 pints of beer have been downed, involves stripping and more than a bit of "snogging and wanking" of other teammates.). You'll also recall from the video that Tim Oakes was always the first one in the changing rooms to get naked, being so proud of his "member" and all. Well, he's at it again, this time for FamousMales! (Continued)

Completely at ease with being naked, Time recently stripped down for Famous Males and stood stark naked in front of them, his proud, strong nude form - beautiful and stunning. "I've got quite a few scars now," Tim said. "I get well bashed about on the field. God knows what the lads will think of this when they see the pictures...hee...hee." "JUST LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU WANT ME HARD."

If Tim Oakes was not a gay icon before this shoot, he certainly is now. See ALL OF TIM OAKES in the FamousMales forum - the more friendly forum GALLERY SECTION.

TERRA THE BOY: CAIO DE LA VEGA

2008-07-12T12:39:40-07:00

I almost forgot about this month's terra boy. And how could I? This month's boy, 24 yr-old Caio de la Vega, is definitely heating things up. He's actually one of my faves...with that 'almost' innocent boy-next-door look. But don't let him fool you. I bet, behind that angelic smirk, there's a little devil just waiting to play.

As always, my favorite shots are those which show everyday life. So, I've chosen to show these images first. But don't get me wrong. I don't mind if you pose for me either. ;) CHECK THESE OUT -->
