Alan Moore not too thrilled about the “Watchmen” movie
September 25, 2008There is no question that English writer, Alan Moore, is nothing short of a genius. But with so many of his graphic novels, including the upcoming film “Watchmen”, being adapted for the big screen, Moore has been vocal about his distaste for Hollywood. According to a recent interview in the L.A. Times:
“I find film in its modern form to be quite bullying,” Moore said. “It spoon-feeds us, which has the effect of watering down our collective cultural imagination. It is as if we are freshly hatched birds looking up with our mouths open waiting for Hollywood to feed us more regurgitated worms. The ‘Watchmen’ film sounds like more regurgitated worms. I for one am sick of worms. Can’t we get something else? Perhaps some takeout? Even Chinese worms would be a nice change.”
With many of his graphic novels brought to the big screen, including “From Hell”, “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen”, and “V for Vendetta”, Moore has never felt that the films can do justice to the original literature and he feels no different for the March bound release of “Watchmen”.

Ronn Scorpion: Crazy Hybrid Hydrogen Super Car
June 7, 2008
It appears independent car makers are stepping up amid crazy gas prices to bring some stylish green into our lives. The just-announced Scorpion ($TBA) from Ronn Motor Company is a sexy speedster that will run on a 30-40 ratio blend of gas and hydrogen, promising around 40 mpg efficiency while still being able to hit 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. The fuel for the hydrogen-on-demand system is “derived from fracturing water molecules drawn from a small on board water tank, and will not require a high pressure, on board hydrogen storage tank or hydrogen fueling station,” according to the company. The carbon fiber beauty is now in pre-production, with availability scheduled for this fall. Thx Uncrate!
More Luxurious Eco-Friendly Solid Wood Furnishings!
May 19, 2008
Furniture designer Hugo França. The Brazilian designer carves stunningly elemental–and incredibly large-scale–furnishings from discarded Amazonian Indian canoes and fallen Pequi trees, some dating to 1,000 years old. Among the beautifully sculpted pieces are low-slung coffee tables, languorous chaises, and enormous room dividers. França’s creative process, which is equal parts brute force (chain saws, chisels) and pure imagination (he has an otherworldly, almost spiritual communion with the trees and an ability to “see”–and then expose–their inner form). The utterly simple lines belie the complexity of the laborious handcraftsmanship that goes into making them. Check out more here.
