Elonian Nomad: 3rd Strike

 

Avatar movie reviewed by epic Episode 1 review guy

After an epic Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace review, Mike Stoklasa is back with a review of Avatar.  It’s a more manageable 20 minutes now, and given that Avatar has fewer… “inconsistencies” compared to the subject of his previous review, it still manages to exhibit the same humor and level of film-making analysis as before.

Another lesson.  Another must watch.

70min Star Wars: Episode 1 movie review better than actual 130min movie

Mike Stoklasa’s review is really long @$$, but seems to fly faster than Anakin’s pod-race sequence!  It’s a bit like Film Making 101 meets Yahtzee.  The humor can get disturbing at times, but it is brutally honest with an eye for the structure and purpose of film.

Perhaps Gizmodo’s headline describes it aptly by saying that the review’s existence justifies The Phantom Menace’s existence.

The whole thing is thankfully broken down into 10min chunks.  Watch the first, however, and one simply must finish the remaining 60 minutes (parts 2-7 after the break).

difference between nerds, geeks, dorks, and dweebs… in a handy diagram

Picture worth a thousand words.

This has been around for quite a while now, and it’s been shared so much that I can’t cite the original source anymore. Anybody know who made this?

Giant Robot needs you!

Hold on a minute!  Before you go all super sentai; dashing towards your nondescript Toyota, cadmium red tights and a deep-tinted tyrannosaur space helmet firmly in place; I want you to pause, stand still, and take a breath.  Why don’t you change back to your regular clothes while you’re at it before someone realizes what a dork you are your secret identity.

Don’t worry, the advance team should be able to handle it.  A certain print magazine, however, could really use your help.

Giant Robot magazine, which has been covering various aspects of Asian/American pop-culture had a brutal 2009.  I’ll let the editors, Eric and Martin, give you the lowdown themselves.

It’s a sad situation all print media has to face these days.  But radio and theater didn’t die with movies and TV, their role in society changed.  You can give Giant Robot a shot at that. See how you can help here.

Re-Enter the Dragon

Last Week, Discovery Channel (SEA) aired How Bruce Lee Changed the World.

Last Friday, Sole Movement let us know that the Nike Zoom Kobe V Bruce Lee colorway should be available (in BHS?) in around a week’s time (Feb 6).

So, does the following formula hold?

Bruce Lee + Nike Zoom Kobe V =

Nike Zoom Kobe V Bruce Lee

FreshnessMag.com illustrates the inspiration for the design.

In the spirit of all the Bruce Lee stuff these past two weeks, perhaps I should re-watch Way of the Dragon.  After all, he is the only guy who’s capable of beating Chuck Norris.

Brass Monki custom kicks open, 2010

Brass Monki opens the 1st batch of 2010 customized Nike Dunk High commissions.  Apparently, it’s a part-time thing for him, so he’ll be closing the orders when he feels he’s got commissions enough lined up.

Click the image below to see some of his designs.

Among the list, I loved these the most:

Like his work?  Start ordering before the line gets too long.  Not sure if he ships internationally, though, so you better ask him about it.

I’m with COCO

Had to do a bit of catching-up as my cable provider hasn’t had the requisite shows for some years now.  I loved both of ‘em long ago when I was still able to watch ‘em, but given what I’ve been seeing/reading, I guess you could say…

Alternative opinions on Bandai World Gundam Competition 09 winners

An online competition by Bandai, Anime Festival Asia, and Danny Choo was held.  Apparently, Andres Cerrato did not agree on some of the winners.

I haven’t gone through the other entries, but I do love some of his “preferred winners“:
