RIP Frank Frazetta

tocmai simbata scrisesem de Conan si cum Mickey Rourke a refuzat sa-l joace pe taica-su si numai ce am dat imprumut dvdul cu filmul din 1982 din casa, cind citesc ca a murit Frank Frazetta, faimosul ilustrator. Avea 82 de ani. Chiar daca nu ati auzit de el, i-ati vazut desenele. A facut coperti de carti, de la Tarzan si John Carter of Mars de Edgar Rice Burroughs, la Conan Barbarul de Robert E. Howard. In film a lucrat cu Ralph Bakshi la Fire and Ice.

in alta ordine de idei noul Conan se filmeaza acum in Bulgaria, cu Jason Momoa in rolul lui Conan si cu Marcus Nispel (Pathfinder, si remake-urile la Texas Chainsaw M.si Friday the 13th) la cirma. O productie Millennium. Mai joaca Rachel Nichols, Stephen Lang, Bob Sapp, Ron Perlman, Said Taghmaoui si Rose McGowan. Primele poze de la filmari, aici.

Topul meu de seriale devenite filme

pt HBOCLUB, top ten de seriale devenite filme, cu un chapeau in care am amintit cam toate titlurile de acest gen. Brian De Palma e prezent de doua ori, cu o adpatare perfecta (Untouchables), si una falsa, plina de red herrings (Red light, green light), primul Mission: Impossible.

Revelatia zilei: Dark Side of the Moon ;-)

cine zice ca nu se mai scot albume noi bune...???
imi iau de la Carturesti cu discount al treilea Wilco (Summertteth, too much Beatles si the Band dupa gustul meu, eu ii ascult de la Yankee Hotel Foxtrot incoace), albumul asta e din 1999, si dau sa ma uit pe allmusic sa va d cum il categorisesc, cinci stele zic ei..Ok.
si vad la new releases, The Flaming Lips- Dark Side of the Moon !!! din decembrie 2009, de ce l-o fi pus acolo cind suntem in mai 2010. "The Flaming Lips and Stardeath and White Dwarfs With Henry Rollins and Peaches Doing The Dark Side of the Moon"

info:
The Flaming Lips' thirteenth full-length studio album which is a complete track-for-track remake of Pink Floyd's seminal 1973 album The Dark Side of the Moon. This is the first cover album by the band.

Money e cintata cu vocorder, gen Alan Parson's Project (care, dah, se leaga, a fost inginer de sunet la DSOTM)

wow ! e intr-adevar un album de coveruri impecabil ! Si mi-am adus aminte ca in 2006in drum spre MagnyCours und am vazut integral The Dark Side of the Moon live cu Roger Waters, featuring Nick Mason de ziua Frantiei, ascultam in masina cu Michulin, Flaming Lips, At War with the Mystics, si discutam despre influenta Floyd asupra trupelor de genul Radiohead si Flaming Lips, etc. am intrat in folderul de atunci si m-a apucat mega-nostalgia.
