    APRIL

    This month I’ve spent most of my time watching YouTube channels. Exciting, I know. As a result, you’ll see a lot of YouTube videos in my list. It’s a simple system I work here at MFT but I feel it suits me. So lets get started.

    1) Rear Window Timelapse

    Rear Window is one of my favourite movies ever. I love a simple idea that is executed perfectly and that’s exactly what Rear Window is. It has been parodied a million times by every TV series from The Simpsons to That 70s Show.

    What I like about this is that it has been put together to play all the parts of the scenery at once. I feel like I’m not explaining that correctly but luckily the video is self explanatory so watch and enjoy!

    UPDATE 3rd of May 2012: Awwww, they took it down. That’s lame

    2) Shia Labeouf

    No, not the charisma free actor of robot movies. Instead it’s a rather strange song by Rob Cantor. It’s about the robot movie actor but it’s also about escaping the clutches of the canibal murderer robot movie actor.

    Again I dont think I’m explaining this one well. Have a listen.

    Thanks to JJ Hawkins of Mars Needs Podcasts for the heads up on that one.

    3) My Drunk Kitchen

    Another one that was brought to my attention by the lovely JJ Hawkins. I had somehow avoided this series until this month. The infectious MyHarto and her My Drunk Kitchen show.

    Luckily, with all my problems describing shows, this one needs very little decription. She gets drunk and cooks in her kitchen. Easy! And funny as hell. Watch, and then notice how 8 hours have gone by from watching all of them.

    4) Botchamania

    Here is something that is far from new also. And I’ve been well aware of it from a long time too. But this month it has kind of been my comfort food viewing.

    The brain child of Maffew who edits together all the mess ups in wrestling you never thought you needed to see. Botch is what wrestlers call messing up a move or a promo. And just like the bloopers real for a comedy, it’s more fun than the actual shows.

    5) Play us out Riz…

    British rap group playing an acoustic performance on the streets of Paris in the middle of the night? I’m in.

  • My Favourite Things – November 2011

    November

    This month I have been mostly watching youtube videos so November’s round-up is going to heavily reflect that. I’d argue that I may need to get out more but if I did, I wouldn’t have anything to share with you in this column and what would be the sense in that?

    1) Battle of the Brick: Built for Combat

    In this mostly wordless stop motion animation Alex Kobbs recreates the Halo map Zanzibar pretty damn accurately with nothing but lego bricks. In the 30 minute movie he pits Reds versus Blues in a crazy capture the flag game. And there is a lot of really clever stuff involved.

    Not only is it extremely faithful to the Halo franchise with lots of the weaponry and moves used but it also captures the hectic and sometimes hilarious moments of online multiplayer gameplay. Over the top action sequences combine with some nice direction on behalf of Kobbs to make for the most enjoyable Lego movie I’ve seen in quite a while.

    Unfortunately the youtube video was taken down (youtube is really starting to become a nightmare for blocking things) but luckily it’s still available thanks to the guys at GameTrailers.com. So check it out below!

    2) The Hobbit

    Ain’t It Cool News reporter Quint has been giving updates from the set of Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit. I was a massive fan of the Lord Of The Rings movies so obviously I’m giddy to see what Jackson does with Tolkein’s material this time round.

    Jackson has been doing some great behind-the-scenes blogs himself. In fact, I think it’s kind of amazing that so far he has released 45 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage. It’s really a testament to how much Jackson respects the fans that he’s willing to give such an advance look. Of course, they keep lots secret but I love seeing film crews work so it’s a delight to watch.

    Here’s the first video if you’re too lazy to go to the channel.

    3) Avenging Spider-Man

    The first Spider-Man comic I’ve bought in 10 years (and considering he’s my all time favourite comic book character, that’s a long time) and it’s all Joe Madureira’s fault.

    detail

    God damn, he draws a good Spider-Man. It’s slightly cartoony but has so much energy and character. It fits perfectly for this kind of book too. It’s a continuity light, action heavy, team-up book. Spidey gets to hang out with some of his Marvel friends and beat-up bad guys while wise-cracking along the way. The first issue was released this past month so jump on now. I enjoyed the hell out of it.

    4) WWE Cat Wrestling

    Do you like kittens? Do you like wrestling? Then you’ll love kitten wrestling!

    5) “Twas me Burfday yesturday”

    That was both a highlight and a lowlight. I’m now officially 28. It’s been a great year and I can honestly say I’m happy with how things are going in my life right now. So yes, being alive is one of my favourite things of November. Deal with it.
