Wanna see some of the stuff Michael Jackson had in his Neverland home?

2000 items up for auction, in 1500 lots. That painting is kinda freaky, but not as freaky as the electric car with him spray painted on the bonnet as Peter Pan....

I usually buy the World Press photo books. For a photography book, they are reasonably cheap and are filled with some disturbing and stunning photos. They often feature photos from news that you may have missed. Above is a link to some of the winners.
For the last couple of years I've been able to watch the shorts thanks to the wonder of the internet...

Click the above link for 4/5... there's always one that's missing. Still 80% ain't bad.
Personally I'd love to see Presto win because it's a wonderful throwback to the slapstick precise comic timing of Tom and Jerry and Golden era Looney Tunes! I really don't tire of watching it... and the sucking bit sit makes me laugh :)

from all over my friends list.
Asia's getting thwacked with natural disasters just now.
The Chinese quake is horrendous, if you see where all these people live it's in a mountainous valley range. Picture 8 shows a bit of fallen mountain. Alot of public buildings, like schools and hospitals have been completely destroyed. Suspicions of cost cutting abound.

The Burmese cyclone, is going to get so much worse if they don't get aid to the people who need fresh water and food. Disease is going to be rampant.

The figures of casualities in both cases are staggering.

John Hurt's voice is just heavenly to me *le sigh* The cartoon had a few similarities to the BBC radio production. Boromir and Gollum were played by the same actors. And the choice of lines were close sometimes. The Black Riders were very cool to me, when I forced my friend to play LOTR, I was always a Black Rider!
While, the rotoscoping (filming people then drawing over the top) helped with the crowd scenes, the hobbits suffered a bit from being too cartoonish - especially with that very 70's hairdo. Alot of backgrounds though, are really nice. They stuck to Rembrandt/Dutch masters colours. I watched this before I went to see FOTR, it had been at least 15 years since I last saw it. I was impressed, although dated, there are still bits I prefer to the film version.
Talks about her influences to her music. A 5 minute clip with two song excerpts. I love the Fire Thief - from her hew album. A Scottish singer songwriter. Enjoy!

But one thing everyone’s talking about, and mentioning you in connection to, is The Hobbit. What’s your affinity with that?
When I was 11 years old, I invested my hard-won money into four books – I bought the Lord of the Rings trilogy and I bought The Hobbit on the advice of a friend. At age 11 I couldn’t get through Lord of the Rings but curiously enough I found the Hobbit very propulsive and lighter, in a strange way. I don’t mean lightweight but I found it really brisk and I found it really magical and the scale of it attracted me a lot. It was truly like a personal journey. It was not, in that sense, as big a canvas as [Lord of the Rings]. I read it really fast, I loved it and it stayed with me.
Not really been following Indy 4 which has many people salivating over on Empire. But since reading John Hurt's in it - I'm suddenly interested. :)
"Naveen Andrews was a teenage dropout, an alcoholic and a heroin user who fathered a child with his maths teacher. As the hit television series Lost begins a new run, its British-born star tells Emine Saner how he beat addiction, why he loathes middle-class racism, and about his love for a film star 21 years his senior"
I know you're all dying to know how my favourite german dude is doing.... It's been ages since I've done TK post, admitedly he's not been spotted much, busy guy. Although spookily he was photographed out the night of the Golden Globes sporting a beard no less... Viggo and Thomas often come out the same night ;)
