Put that cookie daawn

Digital sculpt of Arnold Schwarzenegger that I was doing from scratch, using reference photos. Was looking way better than this but then ZBrush crashed and the file was corrupted. :( All that remains now is this screenshot I managed to take in one of the earlier phases.

Jodorowsky's Dune

The greatest film never made! Excited to see the documentary about this mythical failure. If you're not familiar with it: It was to be directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky (El Topo, The Holy Mountain), script written by Dan O'Bannon (Alien, Return of the Living Dead), starring Orson Welles and Salvador Dalí, artistic design by H.R. Geiger, Chris Foss and Moebius, and a soundtrack by PINK FLOYD. Also, it was to be 14 hours long. They spent 2 million dollars and two years developing it without shooting a single frame and then it was canceled.

Lily C.A.T.

Couldn't find a legit copy in the UK but finally found a torrent that is working so I'm psyched. Was about to resort to the SciFi Channel taped VHS rip on Youtube, but this will be much better. First anime I saw when it was a kid and I hope it's still as badass even though now I know it's a complete rip off of Alien and The Thing, but c'mon there's an evil cyborg cat in it....

Avatar

Attempted to watch Avatar for the first time. I wasn't missing much. LOVED the CG for the Na'vi (or however you spell it) but the creature animations were shit and the story was beyond predictable and generic. Add stock mainstreamy acting and a ridiculous runtime (the version I tried to watch was around 3 hours). If this movie had been made anyone else, with slightly worse effects and wasn't in 3D, it would have been a massive flop.

My new editing reel.

Hunger Games

I liked the Hunger Games better when it was called Battle Royale, before they watered it down and Harry Potter'd the hell out of it.

Tintin

The animation/motion capture in The Adventures of Tintin was seriously the most amazing thing I've seen in a long time. If there was any flaw it's that I kept marveling over how real parts of it looked and lost focus of the story, which wasn't too bad either. All in all it was fun, looked great and was the best thing Spielberg's done in a long ass time. Avatar may have established the technology, but it was a shitty movie. Tintin looks great and kept me watching till the end, which these days is rare.
