I'm not sure whether to be excited or scared, but it seems they're going to be making a sequel to the Jim Henson classic, The Dark Crystal. I wonder if in this day and age whether CGI will be required to compete with the technical evolution that has occurred since the original was made, and whether this will improve or ruin the style. I think a combination of puppetry with some CGI tweaking (but not too much)might be the way to go, removing strings and freeing up movement a bit.

Speaking of puppets...this one is a bit old, but I thought I'd post it anyway, the Team America: World Police "America, Fuck Yeah!" video.

Yet another Batman Begins trailer is out, but this one isn't an ordinary trailer, it's a 10 minute preview of the movie due out next month. Be warned though, it is 100Mb.

There's also a nice preview online for League of Gentlemen's: apocalypse, showing the first 5 minutes of the UK TV show-to-movie adaptation. If the first gag in this is any indication, it should be a crack-up.

Lastly, I have no idea if this is real or not, but it's pretty damn funny either way.

Actually, this is lastly...I finally got around to doing an online version of my resume to add to my online portfolio. This was meant to be a post about E3, but there's so much news to go through I didn't know where to start, so I'll get to that at some stage, and hopefully try and dig up some articles on upcoming interesting games hidden amongst all the hype and crap.
