Not sure which Ad agency is responsible for this quality viral for Supernatural on Living TV, but it is genius! :D

It was recently confirmed that The CW have renewed Supernatural for a 6th Season.

Currently working my way through season 3 on DVD, seeing as Living (for some bizarre reason) stopped their reruns after season 2 to air Season 5… Much as I’m happy they’re finally airing Season 5 for fans, it would be nice if they’d kept the up the nightly reruns too, so us people that came to Supernatural late can catch up!..


Londoners Face Worlds Largest Ever Ice Crevasse

Apologies for the lack of postage over the last few days. Blog issues + mountains of work + man flu = not much posting! However, I have been sent this nice little time-lapse video of world famous street painter Edgar Muller achieving a new Guinness World Record, by creating the world’s biggest 3D pavement art outside Westfield London yesterday. He beat his own world record by covering an area of 330 square metres with a jaw-dropping wintry scene inspired by the family film Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, celebrating its launch on Blu-ray and DVD today.

The pavement art took six days to create and included the beloved Ice Age 3 characters Manny, Buck, Sid, Diego, Scrat and Scratte positioned over an icy crevasse. If you want to catch a look at the artwork it’ll remain at Westfield London for a further week.

Craig Glenday, Editor in Chief of Guinness World Records was on hand to verify the new world record, and commented: “Guinness World Records has been monitoring the fantastic work of Edgar Mueller for some time now, and we’re thrilled to be so closely involved with his latest record-breaking creation. Children – and adults – around the world are blown away by Edgar’s eye-popping landscapes, and he truly deserves a place in the record books taking the art of pavement of drawing to stratospheric new levels.”

Some days you stumble across something so geekily awesome it really has to be shared… Samuel L Jackson’s Exekiel 25:17 speech played out as a Google Wave… Geeky genius! Not only is it brilliantly executed (in every sense of the word), it also does a great job of showing off Google Wave’s features! Great job by the guys over at getwhirled.com.

(BTW, if anyone has a Google Wave access invite they’d like to send me i’d be most grateful!)


Star Wars Uncut – Remaking Star Wars

Star Wars: A New Hope is getting a remake! And before you all let out a Darth Vadian ‘NooOOOooooo!’, it’s not another ploy by Mr. Lucas to get us to buy the original trilogy again (…and again). He’s saving that for the 3D versions. ;)

This is a remake by fans, who are basically sweding the whole of A New Hope. What’s interesting is how they’re doing it. Rather than just a couple of guys in stormtrooper masks, the coordinators of the Star Wars Uncut project have split the movie into 15 second chunks, and are allocating them to fans and aspiring film makers via their website. They are then taking all the 15 second chunks, and stitching them together into the final movie.

I really love this idea. It’s wonderfully geeky, creative, and involves Star Wars, what’s not to like! I’m just hoping they don’t attract the wrath of the LucasArts legal dept. If your interested in being a part of it, head over to starwarsuncut.com and claim a section for yourself! Trailer below.
