Pacificapocalypse

Flying car.
As fortold in the prophesy of the ancients.

Holy crap, I want this thing more than Christmas.

From the Times Online:

To Timbuktu by flying car: it sounds the most unlikely journey on earth; a sci-fi voyage from the pages of Jules Verne. But this is no fantasy. The car really flies. And the journey will become reality early in the new year when two explorers set off from London in a propeller-powered dune buggy heading for the Sahara.

Ok so it’s not the classic Jetson’s flying car but it has a certain Mad Max appeal.

DUDE! FLYING CAR!

And remember, it’s the labor that cost the most, not the parts.

Seriously, I’m warning you, this gave me the absolute jibblies.

One word: spiders.

Now normally, spiders don’t particularly freak me out - I’ll admit to a certain unease, especially in movies that feature hundreds of the little fuckers. Dude! There’s no way to fight them! Guns are useless, you need like, poison gas or a freaking’ flame thrower.
But the occasional spider in the house doesn’t send me quivering.
This story and the accompanying pictures did.

You’ve been warned.

There is so much wrong in this article, I don’t even know where to begin.
Emphasis all mine.

Yay! Pacifica! Keeping it real!…weird.

REPO! The Genetic Opera
Saw this on Comcast previews a few months back and it’s stuck with me.
Now I see it’s starting to build a buzz. Looks wacky; a musical sci-fi splatter fest?
What’s not to like?
And from the above still pic: BOOBIES! YAY!
Opens November 7.
Maybe.

We just watched the full directors version of The Exorcist again this weekend (and Kaitlin *says* she wasn’t scared… yeah, right.) and the timing is just too cool; check out The Exorcist Spider Walk action figure. This is freaking AWESOME.
And only $16.95! I so want this but I know me - I’d end up with a whole bookshelf full of these damn things - I wouldn’t know when to stop and eventually they just collect dust.
Still… so cool.
AND! Check out “The Birds” Barbie Doll too.
