I love asian mythology. Maybe it has to do with me being half Japanese, or maybe it just has to do with the fact that I grew up with some totally freakin awesome Japanese ghost stories! Needless to say, I find this Thai commercial for Sylvania light bulbs to be one of my most favorite commercials, ever.
I’ve always known that Death Cab for Cutie’s “I will follow you into the dark” was a sad song, but holy crap this video is weepy sad! :( Its the bunnies that do it to me, interspersed with the occasional image of the girl.
Fatally-Yours has a good review and a trailer up for Jaume Balagueró’s movie “REC” as well as the trailer for the Hollywood remake “Quarantine”. From the trailers, I have to say, that I’m actually pulled more by Balagueró’s lower cost original than Hollywood’s version. REC is the story of a a young reporter attached to a team of Fire Fighters to chronicle their day to day lives. Things go bad when the building they go into is suddenly quarantined by the government to contain whatever is making the people go extremely violent inside. The coolest sounding bit? No musical cues to give away the scary parts!
Check out the trailers and read a bit more at Fatally-Yours.
Heres a really interesting trailer about Nazi’s having gone to the moon in 1945, and set to return in 2018. Hopefully there will be giant mech fights!

Brass Goggles has found a rather entertaining YouTube video of a pith helmet wearing Briton singing the praises of tea.
Now when I say “Oo”, you say “Long”.
So I couldn’t stay away… LostCarcosa.net, though it never really left, is back in session. Though I am decidedly not religious in any conventional sense, there is much wisdom in the following phrase:
Grant to us the serenity of mind to accept that which cannot be changed; the courage to change that which can be changed, and the wisdom to know the one from the other.
Somewhere out there are people who deserve happiness, friendship, love, and maybe a helping hand. While I can not change a certain heart breaking situation of my own, I can continue trying to make the world a little better one person at a time.
Sorry for all the off topic postings. Back to the show! Starting with the trailer for “Masters of Horror: Haeckel’s Tale”
Ectomo has found an excellent short video entitled “The Cat with Hands”; a story about a cat trying to become human. Ectomo says E.A. Poe, but my first thought was Lovecraftian. Either way, its definitely fits into the Weird tales genre. I found the video to be creepy, dark, somewhat disturbing, and highly enjoyable.
Watch the video at Ectomo.
