Michael Jackson

Not really got much to say, I'm just surprisingly sad to hear the news about MJ. I never expect news of the deaths of celebrities to make me genuinely sad, but I guess this is someone I grew up with and whose music has played a big part in my life.

Really sad.

I also need to notify people that the Hello Thor Michael Jackson tribute gig that was planned to coincide with his tour is now cancelled in light of the news.

Re-create classic album covers

Two guys from Manchester are aiming to get 2000 classic album covers re-created in MS Paint by the end of this year. Why not help them in their quest?

You could create something as magical as this:

Why are 3-D animated films not as 3-D as 3-D live action films?

I like that I wrote 3-D three times in this blog title. That's really 3-D overkill right there.

Anyway, we went to see Bolt 3D last weekend because Journey to the Centre Of the Earth awoke a long dormant love for anything 3-D. This love affair began a long time ago when I went to Disney World as a child and saw a 3-D film starring Michael Jackson.... Michael Jackson. Amazing. I have no idea what the film was about (my best guess would be space), but I know that at one point I shrieked loud enough to hurt the eardrums of those close to me and ducked when an asteroid flew out of the screen. That is about as exciting as it could possibly get for a smaller version of me.

While Journey to the Centre of the Earth's big yo-yo scene (you can imagine how that worked!) wasn't quite as exciting as asteroids, space and Michael Jackson, it was still pretty good. Bolt on the other hand... I enjoyed the film, but the 3-D really added very little. Apart from a headache at the end courtesy of the brilliant Buddy Holly specs you get. There was no big dog nose coming out of the screen and sniffing you... no hamster in a ball rolling right towards you... no explosions shooting bits of shrapnel at you... All in all, a little flat, which is ironic I guess.
