Sit Fido, sit

I found this potential gem via Twitch and it looks to be quite an entertaining little film.

From Moviesonline.ca:

Welcome to Willard, a small town lost in the idyllic world of the 50's, where the sun shines every day, everybody knows their neighbour, and rotting zombies carry the mail. Years ago, the earth passed through a cloud of space dust, causing the dead to rise with an insatiable hunger for human flesh. Terror spread across the land, until a collar was invented that made the zombies docile, even useful. A company was born: ZomCon. Thanks to their patented domestication collar™, zombies became gardeners, milkmen, butlers, and even pets. ZomCon would like everyone to believe that they have the world under control - but do they?

Moviesonline.ca have quite a bit of info about this upcoming film along with some stills and quite a few clips.

This film just earned a place high on my *"must see" list.



*"must see" list is in no way an actual list, only a theoretical concept at best.

Who's Animated

The BBC announced that there will be a serialized Doctor Who cartoon to air on the upcoming series of Totally Doctor Who. This 13-part serial will feature the voices of both current Doctor Who actors David Tennant and Freema Agyeman as The Doctor and Martha.

Anthony Head, who played evil headmaster Mr Finch in last season's School Reunion, and whom many will remember as Giles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, will guest star as a a new character, Baltazar - Scourge of the Galaxy.

For those not in the know, Totally Doctor Who is a magazine style show aimed at kids that covers all things Doctor Who. It started last season and airs wid week between airings of Doctor Who. Each episode features interviews with actors, directors, prop makers, and so on from the Doctor Who team, as well as a quiz contest between two young Who fans, and now some animated adventures as well.

Heres hoping the cartoon is good enough to warrant a separate show. Although as pressed for time as the normal DW production gets, that might not be feasible. It would be a great way to bring back old Doctors and companions though.

KZAPP!

These have to be some of the neatest things I've seen in a long time.



These are a couple of the examples of WETA Collectibles new line of raygun props.



The detail and design is right out of some old pulp magazine or Flash Gordon serial. The guns alone are friggin awesome, but add the cool boxes that they come in, and you have something that would look great in any sci-fi fan's collection.

The drawback is of course the price tag. At $690.00 a pop they sure ain't cheap, but just think how cool they'd look on your shelf or in the display case.

Don't Cat

When we got into Seattle yesterday we walked around and did some looking at the shops. In one shop that I can only describe as sort of a Japanese dollar store (yen store?), I found this odd product that appears to be some sort of spikey plastic matt to keep cats off of things.

I mean really, the name says it all. But the picture makes me think that if the cat steps on the matt, a saw blade will shoot out and lop off it's head.

This may end up as a double post as Youtube's "post to blog" feature is flaky at best.

Enjoy!

Episode 2 of "HellHoles" is up over at Atom Films.

If you missed my post about episode one, or you just didn't watch it, then first get thee to the post or Atom Films and check it out, and second feast your eyes on eplisode 2.



I liked the first episode a little bit better than the second, but I'm definitely looking forward to the rest of this series. It's very well made with just my type of humor.
