You Too Can Now Have Your Own David Lynch

franky — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 13:37:14 +0000

If you’re anything like us and also happen to like movies, of course David Lynch is one of your idols and favourite movie makers. Right?

Right.

We’ll even forgive you if you’re a softie and only can cope with ‘Lynch beginner level’ suspense like in Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive.

So what if you could have your own, super-sized David Lynch?
It now is possible. Well kinda, that might have been a lie actually but Jamie Salmon went ahead and created his own Lynch. Imagine sitting at the table, with your Lynch replica and enjoying your food in real Eraserhead style. Sign me up for one, please.

Pocahontas Is Avatar [SPOILER]

franky — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 03:59:09 +0000

Ever since James Cameron’s Avatar hit the commercial world, it was a simple grab: Avatar is Pocahontas (on LSD). Here’s more proof in the pudding. Spoiler alert! Or something like that (if your watching this on the frankylicious home page, hit twice [J] to move to the next entry!).

Disclosure: I am no fan of Cameron in general or Avatar.

Star Wars The Phantom Menace Review

franky — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 11:34:31 +0000

This is 70 minutes long but contrarily to me you probably have nothing to do on this Saturday, so you might as well do something useful and watch this awesome review in 7 parts.

Enjoy it.

Tim Burton does war. Alice in Wonderland style.

franky — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 12:37:50 +0000

Alice in Wonderland does war Tim Burton style? That’s right folks, the second trailer for AiW has been released and with every new bit of information we receive this movie is more and more becoming the epic movie highlight of 2010. And we even haven’t seen the movie yet. How’s that?

That’s it. I’m outta here. Playing Oblivion, Shivering Isles.

Actors Saying Movie Titles In Movies

Or ‘Actors speaking the movie title in the movie’. Lots of great movies are mashed up in this video.

franky — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 14:08:54 +0000

I’m late on this. Once more. How could I have forgotten to post the trailer for Monty Python – Almost The Truth (The Lawyer’s Cut)?.

Anyway, enough talk.

New Toy Story 3 Trailer. More Awesomeness from Pixar. In 3-EEYYEEEE-POPPPINNNGGGG DEEE!

franky — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 15:27:13 +0000

Sadly the new trailer does not bring the release of more Pixar awesomeness any closer and we still will have to wait until Summer 2010 before we can see Toy Story 3. Until then we will have to drool on this.

Mel Gibson Plays With Jodie Foster’s Beaver

franky — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 00:53:35 +0000

Anyone now will tell me that there should be [PICS] added to the title but I think from a pure aesthetically point of view [PICS] looks horribly wrong. No matter if it are pics of Mel Gibson playing with Jodie Foster’s beaver.

He certainly looks surprised being caught out and why is visible behind the jump.

Apparently the Australian actor/director went for a morning run, practising for his role in the movie Beaver with Jodie Foster. Gibson plays the role of a man with a beaver glued to his hand.

Enough of bad puns for yesterday.

The trailer for Avatar looks ace. Not too sure about the director and the prominent referrer to Titanic on the site though.

Stargate Universal Trailer available now

franky — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 20:59:32 +0000

The first trailer for Stargate Universal has finally been released on the internauts on a trailer rich day. Again it’s trailer time so one can only hope the trailer quality is representative for the movie quality. I fear the worst… as usual. Call me sceptic.

Tron Legacy Trailer [HD]

franky — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 09:47:41 +0000

I never really was a fan of Tron and this is a trailer, which doesn’t mean anything usually about the movie. But it is a great trailer. Not yet able to convince me to put the upcoming Tron sequel on my ‘Must see’ list, but the trailer is good.

Three Frames

Three Frames is a rather new blog trying to represent movies in/with only 3 frames. The representation of Jaws is totally fitting.

franky — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 21:32:45 +0000

It’s all the same movie. Trust me, no matter whether it’s Star Wars, Star Trek, The Matrix or Harry Potter, it’s all the same movie.

One day, he is greeted by Obi Wan | Captain Pike | Trinity | Hagrid and told that his life is not what it seems, and that due to some circumstances surrounding his birth | birth | birth | infancy he was meant for something greater.

Deciding to leave with him | him | her | him, Luke | Kirk | Neo | Harry is taken to Mos Eisley | Starfleet Academy | the real world | Hogwarts where he meets lots of new, fascinating people. For the first time in a very long time, life is exciting, and Luke | Kirk | Neo | Harry explores the new life that has opened up for him. With his new friends, he starts to work hard to become the sort of man that Obi Wan | Captain Pike | Trinity | Hagrid said he could be. Although Han | Spock | the Oracle | Draco challenges his abilities, things go relatively well until suddenly, Alderaan is destroyed | Vulcan is attacked | Morpheus is captured | Voldemort returns.

Leaping into action, Luke | Kirk | Neo | Harry prepares to fight against the insistence of his teacher. Despite not having finished his training, the lessons have made him cocky and through a combination of skill and luck Luke | Kirk | Neo | Harry is able to beat Vader | Nero | Agent Smith | Quirrell and destroy the Death Star | Nero’s ship | the Sentinels | Voldemort’s body.

Greeted as heroes, Luke | Kirk | Neo | Harry realizes that he has become powerful with the force | a great leader | the One | a great wizard just as Obi Wan | Captain Pike | Trinity | Hagrid said he would be.
