Mobile Domiciles 2: Goodbye Incest Jokes. Hello Information Age!
If you wanted to partake in bleeding edge uber chic-osity of the loftcube, but couldn’t swing the incumbent helicopter purchase, the GMC PAD may be the thing for you. Looking something like the lovechild of the the loftcube, a Winnebago, and the future, the PAD not only sports a hipster-par exceeding aesthetic, but also some ridiculous hararara in the gadgetry department (including diessel-electric hybrid propulsion, solar panels, wifi, xm/sat radio, onstar, advanced security and waste management features i can’t even understand, inner walls comprised completely of LCD screens, and a spa!). haha, how much would you hate your friends if one of them had one of these and parked it in your driveway to complement the other friend’s loftcube on your roof?
Sympathy for Lady Vengeance - “Kind-hearted Geum Jah” = WATCH IT.
If you know who Park Chan Wook is (no not baseball you philistines!), then you know what Korean cinema can be…melodrama + absurdist awesome-itis= winner. Ok so his “Anarchists” wasnt the greatest… i watched it at some berkeley blackflag meeting (LOL). It was like watchin a low budget “The ROCK” with “anarchy” scribbled in the premise- still very edgy for its time and audience. “JSA” was poignant and superbly cast- if it wasnt for yong-ae’s insistence on using engrish it wouldve been an amazing film… The next two films are 2 of my all time favorites- “Sympathy for mr vengeance” and “Oldboy.” Twisted and incredibly tragic for sure but. my god. not only does he speak to and about contemporary korean society- he delivers the whole spectrum of human emotion- in a revenge flick nonetheless!. impressive. His short in “3 extremes” was interesting and by far the cleverest… but nothing to write home about… But then he rolls it on thick in his last volume of vengeance- “Sympathy for lady vengeance”. Yong ae completely redeems herself as the tragically warm hearted yet calculating “heroine” of the film- the women kick ass in this movie. “Sympathy for Lady Vengeance” certainly ends what he called the “trilogy of revenge” with a bigmofo bang. Put it up there with female revenge classics such as Shurayukihime and Kill bill cuz yeah. its that good. And Yes his movies require alot of cultural backdrop as well as iron stomachs, but if the harsh reality of life in the urban jungles of seoul dont faze you… go out and watch it!
OH and theres rumors that Justin Lin’s possibly directing a remake of Oldboy… I personally think hes an awesome guy (better luck tommorow was awesome plus he chatted it up with us for awhile…)- and its truely a shame that annapolis didnt turn out to be quite the winner. but i still have faith in the guy.
well onto the TRAILER!
Hello Kitty (now featuring Helloing)!
oh sweet cuddly cuteness, japan outdoes itself yet again. nagoya-based staffing agency, PeopleStaff, has developed a receptionist android that senses clients, holds simple conversation, but best of all, looks like -hold your breath and pass out with a smile on your face- Hello Kitty! can you imagine the possibilities?
Hello Kitty Robo: “hello, client”
Ran Ran Leche Flan: “why hello, kitty!”
Both: “ahahah, by jove, we are so clever!” ^_^
if i ever get greeted by one of these things, it better be thoroughly bolted down.
Demon babies eet-cho food!!!
omfg. Further empirical proof that the 50’s should’ve never happened… McCarthyism .the korean war. nuclear escalation. demon babies. meat ladies. Elvis…

Mobile domiciles of the European kind.
You + helicopter + Loftcube = house anywhere anytime. now to put that down payment on a million dollar whirlybird get 10000 hours of flight time n live ANYWHERE. yes even on top of my house! Post modern nomads rejoice n’ check out the chintzy flash demo set to pron musak. Euro designers have come to your rescue.
On a more practical note, these blokes have come up with an interesting take on the whole mobile deployment of buildings…thing. These structures would prove pretty useful in places we’re currently farking- can anyone say insta-infrastructure? Not quite as gimmicky as say, bendable concrete or cement that transmits light but ingenius nonetheless. Cold dark concrete high rises may go the way of the dinosaur soon…
inflatable concrete
I suppose the Swedes sure know how to do it…
ok so the link’s not so worksafe cuz of general euro sleeziness. but GOTO VIDEOS n watch all gunther has to offer you- his music trancends genre. his mullet turns water to wine. his glasses dazzle even the gods… yeah i know its f*king old. but cmon. hows that get old?!
happy lunar new year. it’s a celebration. b*tches.
ok so its like 2am on a sunday n’ this scotch is tasting loov-ley (scottish accent ;\). alas school starts to-morrow and Im afraid slackeroni may have to convert to “get-shit-done-oni” … in saying such just a warning that things may slow down here (not that it was rollerball in here). i realize that IM the post whore- so i might as well update all you (all 3) that I’m still workin on formatting n design (changing that f*ckin thing to orange took me a year.) and tryin to get a photo / art gallery up for us to use and abuse. On top of that i’d like to get our asses in gear to gettin our “written word” section up- indepth reviews rants ect ect. if anyone would like to submit thier work. email me or msg this post.
-btw the shout box is up. so pls utter your dirtiest. (not)
