the um eh imagine of eh doctor ehm pastery?

2010-01-24T15:27:00.002+01:00

Hi good folks. sorry im kinda late. An old lady walked by and i had to help her cross the street... Ok. So it was kinda like the worst title ever. but you would understand why i picked it. right? um yeah.I can't get myself to remember the name of that movie. even though i saw it just a couple of hours ago.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
So i went to the movies today and i saw this fantastic movie. I mean. To honor the memory of a brilliant actor. Heath Ledger. He did a splendid performance in Batman and he did a splendid performance in this one.so the movie is about this Doctor Parnassus and his "Imaginarium". a traveling show in wich the doctor Parnassus played by Christopher Plummer (Alexander and National Treasure) accompanied by his daughter Valentina, Percy the little persone and Anton, leads strangers through a mirror in wich they're fantasies will become a reality. However doctor Parnassus is haunted by the cunning Mr.Nick as he calls himself (the devil) whom he have made a deal with. in order to regain his mortality and seduce the woman he loves he traded his daughter Valentina. At the day of her 16th birthday she will belong to Mr.Nick. With his comrades the fantastic Anton, Percy and eventually Tony (Heath ledger)they embark on a quest against time to collect 5 souls before the devil can do the same.

A collection of some of the best actors in the biz. And the result proves so. With Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrel as bi-characters it might reflect the quality. In my opinion a brilliant piece of art from Terry Gillian (Life of brian and Monty python and the holy grail)

Whoopee! Let's party with Mickey Mouse!

2010-01-16T03:37:00.031+01:00

Time to watch a Mickey Mouse cartoon! And take it easy, I'm not talking about one of those later 'toons where Mickey got pupils and puffy cheeks and gradually got all grown up and boring. I'm talking about one of the vintage black and white shorts, more specifically "The Whoopee Party" from September 17, 1932. This hilarious Mickey short was produced by Walt Disney and directed by Wilfred Jackson at the time when Mickey's popularity was really soaring; and at a time when he was still a very lively, very entertaining character. Maybe even more importantly, this whole cartoon was made just for fun - which shows. They even throw in a few politically incorrect blackface gags... and while these are usually (and sadly) cut in TV screenings of today, the Disney crew (and their colleagues) did it all in good fun back in the thirties.

You might wanna be careful as to whom you mention the part about "all in good fun", though. I did in a Youtube comment for the film below and was declared an insensitive racist shortly afterwards. Ah, the joy of expressing one's opinions in the mature company of Youtube users.

God of War!

2010-01-14T13:36:00.004+01:00

Hi there. hello hello. I am Roserie. I am NOT your father FYI. we're not that geeky. However on to serious matters. The God of war Trilogy. I will state my opinion on each of the three games. but ofcourse it will be my hopes and dreams for the third game. depending on when I manage to get this done. Well the first game was about this Kratos fellow. whom in the intro actually commits suicide. Wohooo and of the cliff he goes. This Kratos then ends up in the underworld. The land of the dead. then you must travel through greek and fight of all kinds of mythological creatures. While on your selfdestructive path to kill Ares the god of war. WHY? well along time ago Kratos made a pact with the god of war that he could take his soul when he were to die. In return Kratos would gain ultimate power and become the greatest warrior the world had ever seen next to "the hoff" (David hasselhoff) ofcourse. However it all ended tragicly when Kratos found himself standing over his dead wife (how he managed to kill his own wife in his own house without even noticing is beyond me... Anyway you follow Kratos through the entire Greece and get superduper special weapons by the gods. since they as well obviously hate Ares enough to hire a hitman (kratos)take a look at this awesome super duper action clips. "oh my god its soooo awesome Roserie-sama!!!" :P

well it might be a bit long but its cool so bare with me folks.

Go Go Gadget Sleep

2010-01-14T03:55:00.046+01:00

Hey, how about watching one of my favorite episodes of one of my favorite television shows of all time? It doesn't get much better than that. One thing that could be better in my case right now is sleep, but while I'm catching that, you can catch Inspector Gadget's fight with "Sleeping Gas", the 22nd episode produced of the great original series. First aired in the US on February 04, 1984.

Logo Feedback Talkback

2010-01-12T16:27:00.003+01:00

Me like logo pictures! We've got to do something about those crammed/stretched pictures, though... not to mention that unused spot to the right.

(Plus, I gotta admit I thought Johnny looked better as a centerpiece than out to the left. Whaddaya all think?)

And so it begins..

91 Stomperud: When Norwegian Comic Strips Really Rocked!

2010-01-12T02:48:00.033+01:00

The naive military anti-hero 91 Stomperud was created in 1937 as a Norwegian version of a popular Swedish army strip (91:an Karlsson, 1932-). Soon, however, Norway embraced Private 91 as a cultural icon in his own right. "Nr. 91 Stomperud" became one of our most beloved, best-selling comic strips for the next three decades, and the annual Christmas Magazine is still one of our top sellers. Also, the strip has become so rooted in traditions that it still doesn't have speech bubbles... at least not yet. I'm gonna be presenting ancient strips of this internationally way too unknown gem - showing to the world that thinks Pondus is something what it was like when Norwegian comics REALLY rocked! Get set, the march is starting! These pages from the 1947 Christmas Magazine were written by Ernst Gervin and drawn by one of the finest comic artists Norway has ever fostered, Thorbjørn Weea.
