Rambo, along with G.I. Joe and the A-Team, were the cornerstones of my violent childhood fantasies. Do you remember how many stores were selling the Rambo 2 survival knife after that sequel came out. I can’t friggin’ believe how many kids my age had those dangerous, and usually cheaply made, knives. Christ, what were my [...]

Irony is delicious isn’t it? I have serious problems with censoring. As an artist myself, I believe that a final work of an artist/writer/director/etc intends should be seen/read/experienced as it’s meant to. When suits and sexually repressed fuck-wads filter out material a select few deem “offensive”, it rapes the work’s integrity and molests the artist’s [...]

Boingboing posted a link to Photoshop Roadmap’s 70 Horror, Blood and Gore Photoshop Effects and Brushes, a round-up of how to’s offering myriad ways for you to grossify yourself (and others).

The UK’s Daily Mail ran piece exploring what it would really be like if you were the last person on earth. You wake up late because the radio does not come on. Outside there is only the sound of the wind, and of the birds in the trees. The roar of jumbo jets coming into [...]

This spoof of an iPhone ad using interview footage with David Lynch has been hitting the net hard ‘n’ fast, so in case you haven’t seen it yet, enjoy (it’s not quite safe for work). I can’t help but find his comments ironic, though, given that his latest, Inland Empire, looks like it was shot [...]
