October 2, 2009October 2, 2009 Danny X Advertising Week, Anthony Kalamut, George Lois, Seneca College2 Comments

Ask someone who George Lois is and you’ll likely be met with a “huh?” or “Isn’t he that guy who…?” But ask anyone if they know the phrase “I Want my MTV” and you’ll get the universal “Aaaaaahhhhhhh, THAT guy!!” George Lois is often described as “An Advertising Legend”, “The King of Madison Avenue”, or the “Leader of the Creative Revolution”.

Alive in Joburg: Neill Blomkamp’s original idea that spawned District 9

September 16, 2009 Danny X 1 Comment

There’s a lot of secrets in District 9, and apparently at least one Easter egg. This is “Alive in Joburg”, Neill Blomkamp’s 2005 short film about a race of alien refugees living in Johannesburg. In it you can see his sensibilities and unique vision shine through, and also catch a glimpse of some of the creative changes made to create the feature-length version, not the least of which is taking away the Prawns’ somewhat threatening presence and turning them into the imbicilic creatures of District 9. Definitely worth the watch….

First time Fan Expo/rgb’er Mona came up from Jersey partially to see the ‘horror rawkillbilly’ band Psycho Charger, who played at the Rue Morgue sponsored Fan Expo event ‘Dance of the Deadites’ Saturday night. Even though we were pretty tired from walking around the convention floor for two days straight, I’m glad we made it out, because the band put on an awesome, blood-soaked show.
