This post is going to be like throwing spaghetti on the wall: I’m just gonna toss a lot of stuff up here and see what sticks. It worked for Oscar Madison (okay, that was linguini – work with me).
Movie prices
According to Slice-of-Sci-Fi…
The weekend closed out the books for the summer season and while ticket sales were up to $4.35 billion, the highest total ever for a summer season, overall attendance was down. Attendance this summer was 552 million, . . . → Read More: Throwing spaghetti on the wall

Today we’re having an installation of “What to do, What not to do” for percussionists.
What to do
Back in college I had the privilege of seeing a percussion group called Nexus perform. It was one of two moments in those years that I just had this goofy grin stuck on my face because the awesomeness just blew me away (the other was when the drummer from the Navy Jazz Band did his drum solo… holy cow that . . . → Read More: Percussionists: Object lesson for today

No one has written a super-hero theme song yet that beats the one from the 60s Spider-man cartoon. Don’t get me wrong, there have been some great themes written, but Spider-man’s is the swinging-est.
Over the years, a few versions have been recorded, but this is probably my favorite update. And the dancing is actually pretty cool, too. I think these guys do a great job.
Then there’s this… yeah, the dancing sucks, but The Flash shows up . . . → Read More: Spider-man dances (and so does The Flash)

This is probably my favorite short film to date.
I’m sure that says something about me.
This really is an amazing job. My favorite is the Tetris demolition. Frogger was a nice cameo, too.

Everything old is new again.
In anticipation of Tron: Legacy, a fan created this new trailer for the original Tron (1982), with a more modern look and feel. He did a fantastic job. Really great.
He said:
Wanted to make a exciting trailer with a modern feel as oppose to its original marketing in the 80s. I hope people will give this movie a try before they see Tron Legacy. Sure its dated but there was practically nothing like . . . → Read More: New Tron Trailer

I could go on about the Academy awards snubbing Australia, or talk about the challenges CDs face in nature, but why should I make you wait for this just so I can make a stupid joke that you probably won’t get anyway? Not that you’re not all preternaturally intelligent, but let’s face it: the joke would just be bad.
So let’s just get to it. This lyra bird is amazing.
