Videodrome

Cronenberg's Videodrome trailer

The Mysterious Lardani




Sergio Leone's Italowesterns (Spaghetti Western) have some amazing early motion graphic title seqences credited to a single name...Lardani.
"
Not so much is known about Iginio Lardani, so we contacted his son Alberto who worked with his father for more than twelve years. "My father didn't attend any kind of graphic design school", Alberto writes, "He was an autodidact with a great interest in painting. He entered the film world as film poster designer and created, among others, the Italian poster of 'High Noon'. Beside the 'Dollars' trilogy, my father designed the title sequences of many other Italian films, but his main activity was the editing of film trailers. His trailers of 'Mogliemante' by M. Vicario and 'Una Giornata Particolare' by Ettore Scola were awarded first and second place among five hundred trailers within the Cannes film festival of 1978. And Iginio created TV ads". --http://mmbase.submarinechannel.com

Aging Hops















I grew these Mt. Hood hops this summer. Supposedly...

"sticking them in a 150 degree oven for 1 hour would do the same thing years of aging would." We'll soon see...

Flux NASA Premiere

The Flux Series Premiere was mad fun. Check it out.


Here I am doing my Q&A after the video was screened.










Sam Spiegel kept asking me about my first sexual experience.


















Here's some other douchebags checking the sturdiness of this table.
