I never knew

Amazon has a great new feature, you can now order your wishlist choices in order of preference. Very useful and I wish they had implemented it before. Still not available on amazon.ca though which is where my actual list is now.

Two great trailers from Japan. First one is Casshern, a simply gorgeous movie, part Blade Runner, part manga looking, with some Matrix thrown in. Can’t wait to see it. I’m not sure why the guy has a face mask but no helmet on though.

The second is the follow up to Ghost In The Shell. Appleseed also looks fantastic, especially the shading everywhere.

I liked Blade, I didn’t like Blade II all that much but it was pretty cool visually. The Sci Fi wire has a little piece concerning Blade: Trinity, the follow up coming out this year. I very sceptical although of course I’ll go and see it, even though… Parker Posey has a vampire gang leader? Alongside HHH???

On the same site, another tidbit, Return Of The King (which I saw for the second time this sunday) just passed the billion dollars in ticket sales, doing it a bit quicker than Titanic. Although, I don’t have the numbers but I’m guessing translated to today’s dollar it probably means that LoTR is a bit slower but I have high hopes for them to detrone the sinkin’ boat. I didn’t dislike, contraty to a lot of people, but Return is way better.

Coasters that look like petrie dishes. Cool. Well actually, even though that item is fun, I wouldn’t have linked to it but I’m doing it anyway because I want to point you to the whole site. Lots and lots of fun designy stuff every day. A daily visit of mine for the last couple of months.

I’m not sure how long this will last but it’s a blog for which each post is a syndicated comic strip (Garfield, Calvin, Doonsbury, Peanuts, etc.). Even better, for users of RSS feed readers it offers a feed for all posts together or by strip. I used to have feeds for Calvin and Doonsbury but they got a cease and desist letter, this one doesn’t seem any more official but for now I’ll be enjoying a direct line.
