I love Spaced, the TV show starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost prior to Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. Here’s one of the greatest scenes ever:

Yes, I am one who likes the UK Office more. Thanks to Patrick for this.

Spaced is out on DVD now and the stars are hitting various cities in the US to support the release. For more check out spacedinvasion.com.

Here’s the trailer for Hamlet 2 (beware of NSFW language):

I dunno. Could be fun. People getting hit in the head with flying garbage cans always makes me giggle. Ah, Schadenfreude.

Vote for him. It’s his birthday today.

I miss him already.

It’s been a long time coming but here’s another blog post. First of all I’m alive. That’s a good thing. It was a long tough winter with the movie biz in Vancouver being slow after the writers strike and the looming fears of a SAG strike as well. I mostly kept hidden in my office playing my World of Warcraft toon obsessively to level 70, growing my hair and generally feeling pretty disconnected from the real world wondering if things would eve pick up again.

Well they have but not in the way I had expected. I just started a new job with a company called MovieSet™ (Yes, the same company I blogged about below). My title is Film Industry Community Ambassador. I’ll be liaising with producers and eventually studio officials espousing the benefits of the MovieSet™. Hopefully I’ll get to travel and meet some mucky mucks. As well I’ll be assisting with creative marketing ideas and doing some blogging. Cool huh? I think so.

As well, it’s time to buy a new computer as my laptop is near death and my desktop is getting long in the tooth. Seeing as the government of BC saw fit to send $100 for some wacky, I’m sure pre-election, ‘environmental’ benefit I can think of no better time to do it. I’ve order myself this ASUS M51SN-B1 from NCIX. Here’s a recent in depth review of the machine. Looks pretty decent to me.

I even got a haircut and am feeling like a new man.

New beginnings rock.

I had some thoughts regarding an age old quandry.

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Seriously.

Perhaps thumb transplants would help us finally get to the bottom of this mystery. Big toes have been used to replace thumbs lost in accidents (ironically sometimes ‘chucking’ wood). However, I’m unsure of woodchucks having big toes to begin with, as I’m not versed in woodchuck-ology (or whatever the scientific term may be).

Even if they did have big toes to sacrifice, and the transplant were to be successful, they may not be able to stand properly as they were now big toe less thus lacking the balance necessary for an all out wood chucking experiment.

Regardless, forcing a big toe less woodchuck now sporting strangely fashioned thumbs to ‘chuck wood’ doesn’t seem at all ethical.

My guess is that we will never be able to answer this question to anyone’s satisfaction so I think it’s time to stop asking it. It’s just silly.
