Vampires Can’t Even Agree on Who to Have for Dinner

LOL!!

i09:

“Today’s vampires have very little in common with each other, but can they still take over the world? This video puts Dracula, Edward Cullen, Angel, and Sesame Street’s The Count in the same room as they plot to overthrow humanity.”

What If Zombies Ate Most Of The Mystery Team?

i09:

“Imagine that Fred, Daphne and even Shaggy were eaten by zombies, vamps and other big bad beasties. Where would that leave Velma? In supernatural slayer mode, of course. Check out this awesomely wicked Velma-centric Scooby-Doo fan art.

Quick someone get Dr. Monster a comic book deal stat, we want to see what happens next.”

Al Franken kicks eleventy-million kinds of ass in health-care hearing

Boing Boing: “Watch Senator Al “Kick-Ass” Franken wipe up the floor with this health-care-lobby shill from the Hudson Institute who claimed that
universal healthcare would increase medical bankruptcies. This is the perfect mix of being sensible and being devastatingly sarcastic, and I
love him for it. Go Al!”

Cool Stuff: The Zombie Horde T-Shirt

/Film:

“Threadless has done it again, this time with a zombie themed t-shirt by Aled Lewis. Titled “The Horde”, the t-shirt shows the last stand of one living human surrounded by an epic giant horde of zombies. The artist explains his inspirations for the design:

“This design is an homage to a bunch of different zombie related influences: Dawn of the Dead, Shaun of The Dead, The Evil Dead, Left 4 Dead, Resident Evil and MJ’s Thriller to name a few. I imagine this guy is probably making a last stand as a distraction whilst his friends get to the chopper.”

The tshirt even features a cool little easter egg: a zombie Michael Jackson (as seen in the music video “Thriller”) hidden in the undead horde.”

VOTD: How Transformers 2 Should Have Ended

/Film: “You knew it was bound to happen, the guys at How It Should Of Ended have finally gotten to Michael Bay’s Sci-fi action sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. There are so many ways Revenge of the Fallen should have ended. After the jump you can watch a video with a handful of possibilities.”

The Today Show Helps Microsoft Launch Windows 7 On a MacBook Pro

Gizmodo:

“Good thing Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer didn’t turn around during his spot on The Today Show. Clearly, someone at NBC either really loves Macs or can’t tell the difference between a MacBook and a PC.

On the other hand, Maybe Ballmer noticed and didn’t care. In the spot he discusses hardware diversity and this sort of proves his point. After all, you can run Windows 7 on a Mac. It’s an amusing gaffe, but beyond that, the clip is interesting because it touches on Windows 7, the image battle between Apple and Microsoft and the issue of CEO pay all inside five minutes.” [Crunchgear]“

District 9 Director Neill Blomkamp’s Next Sci-Fi Movie Gets The Greenlight

/Film:

“Media Rights Capital has committed to fund District 9 filmmaker Neill Blomkamp’s next film, an untitled science fiction movie which will be set on another planet. MRC committed to the new project after hearing Blomkamp’s pitch. Details are thin right now, but Blomkamp tells BFDealMemo that the project will “hopefully be commercial”:

“Hopefully, this will be a bit unique, very much a reflection of me. It is absolutely another science fiction film, quite different from `District 9,’ but some of the blending of genres and the tone might be within the same realm.”

At Comic-Con this year, Blomkamp told us:

I’ve got one science fiction idea that I’m absolutely in love with, which I’m pretty sure is going to be my next film. 99% sure…It’s totally original, it’s my own story…It’s set on another planet, but it’s cool. It’s violent, very violent, and very unique hopefully. We’ll see.

The few details we have does not  sound like your typical Hollywood production. Blomkamp says that the film will be more of his vision (”very much a singular film, that comes directly from me”) than District 9, which was a learning experience under producer Peter Jackson, who will not be involved this time around. Bill Block will produce. The MRC deal is big because they are not only giving Blomkamp creative freedom but also an ownership stake in the finished product. That’s a HUGE deal for a filmmaker to get on only his second film.

MRC will be funding the project, which will cost somewhere north of District 9’s $30 million, but not a lot higher. Blompkamp has said that he’s “not particularly interested in massive budget films, or creating huge spectacles that some young directors might be attracted to.”

The filmmaker plans to immediately start writing and prepping the visual effects for the film, which will begin production by the middle of next year. A distributor will be found at that time. Blomkamp definitely has an option to make a District 9 sequel afterwards if that is what he wants.”
