One more Halloween style animation for ya'!



As for my car, there are no broken eggs on it yet, but I'm still trying to confirm if it was those same kids that apparantly trained a condor to dump on my hood.

Zombie Dearest

Still in time for Halloween, here's a nice little zombie flick starring Tofu the Vegan Zombie:



Now... I've got to go make sure the kids I chased off of my front porch for tearing down my "Sorry... All Out of Candy" sign aren't egging my car.

Happy Halloween!

Kung Fu Panda Trailer

The brand new trailer for Dreamworks' "Kung Fu Panda" is now up over at /Film.



You get to see lots of live action clips of Jack Black acting like a jackass, but you also get a ton of footage from the movie itself. I've heard from a couple of insiders that this film will surprise a lot of people and is quite different from what everyone is probably expecting. Personally after watching the trailer it seems to be exactly what I was expecting, which is talking animals doing whacky things, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's bad.

Emergency surgery is fun!

I had to have emergency surgery on my stomach this past Tuesady, and what a heap of fun that was!

Updates will continue once I'm feeling a bit better. I'm back at home now, but I'm still pretty drugged.

I'll be right as rain in no time at all, so don't worry your pretty little heads one bit!

Brutal Legend Trailer

I may have to stop using the "we don't talk about videogames much here on Bleeding Pixels" line, due to games like Team Fortress 2 and now Brutal Legend.



If you can't tell by this overly-bloody clip, that there is Jack Black, starring in a brand new videogame that should be out next year.

I can't wait.

Movie Poster Monday: Kung Fu Panda

Oh yeah! It's time once again for Movie Poster Monday!



Truth be told, Bleeding Pixels has never had a Movie Poster Monday, and probably never will again. Just look at the poster and be happy it isn't Malaria Monday.

Fall 2007 Animation Mentor Student Showcase

In case you have yet to see it, Animation Mentor has posted their latest showcase of student work.



Awesome work as always, and my hope is that the school will get a good enough reputation that I can simply show prosepctive employers my AM dimploma, and not have to actually show any of my own animations to land a job.

Team Fortress 2 is out and awesome!

Bleeding Pixels normally doesn't cover games too often, but when it's a game like Valve's awesome "Team Fortress 2," you sort of have to stand up and take notice.



Having played the game all last night on my Xbox 360, I can safely say that I'm addicted. The game is so simplistic in nature, and yet so deep in terms of the classes that it's going to take a long time for me to tire of the game.

Not only that, but it just looks amazing. The taunt animations, the cartoon feel, the color palette (simple on purpose)... all lend to the gameplay in one form or another. It's all done with a purpose, and it all combines to make a beautiful package.

This would all be well and good, but TF2 is really just a small part of "The Orange Box," which contains "Half Life 2" and Episodes 1 & 2 for the game, "Portal" and "Team Fortress 2," all for the price of a single game.

So fire it up and look me up (gamertag = dajohns).

Just be aware... when playing against me, I'll probably be on my couch, not wearing any pants.

Surf's Up on DVD!

Sony's wonderful "Surf's Up!" hits Region 1 DVD shelves today!



If you missed this in the theaters, which many did, you owe it to yourself to go and pick up a copy, or at least give it a rent. The film is beautiful, funny, and just a great film from start to finish. Yes it's anthropomorphic animals, and yes it's another penguin film, but it's still worth watching (and owning).

Not only that, but Circuit City has it for $15 bucks, and I'm sure you can find it for that price or less at various other big chain stores.

It's a shame that this film didn't perform better in theaters, but with any luck, a ton of people will get to discover it on DVD.

Go now!

Looks like honey just got funny...



Personally I've always found honey to be funny, so I guess I'm just way ahead of my time. I also wear bras as earmuffs and drink motor oil with lunch.

So you've got even more stuff to look forward to!

Fight for Kisses

This is actually a pretty funny marketing campaign for razors called "Fight for Kisses."



As a guy expecting my first child in December, I pretty much have to buy one of these razors now so that I can make my child hate me and in turn train to be some kind of badass baby ninja.
