It’s not that I have forgotten about you gals and guys, but this tab usually is buried somewhere amid another 30 and 40 tabs. Ok, ok excuses of course and the real excuse should be that I was busy, right? Of course not that I barely ever have opened my feedreader recently, right?
Luckily we still love LEGO here at frankylicious HQ and e mark this return with the Story of Adult Fans of Lego
Remember how we all got excited about James May’s LEGO house? Full scale excited LEGO house.
The guys over at the Beeb certainly had fun with our money, holding the episode back but this year, Christmas will not bring you the eternal Christmas carols and evergreen movies, but instead we get James May in his LEGO House and the last episodes of the Tenth Doctor.
Are you excited already? I sure am but of course the Beeb has other plans again. Instead they released a teaser video on the Tube today.
There was no possible way one could imagine to ever make us endorse Lady GaGa. And then the impossible happened.
Lady Gaga, Victorian, Burtonesque.
Obviously whenever someone goes totally Burton on us, we become weak. Add some Victorian style to the mix and we are lost. Yes, I wished I were at the the concert at the Royal Albert Hall to see this one song with a 20ft high piano. Screw the 20ft trail to the dress but look at the feet of the piano.
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.
The problem with looking for cool stuff is that whenever you discover some really cool things and want to go and devote your time at the important things in life, like play Shivering Isles… you discover something else. So right on the heels of the new Alice in Wonderland trailer, we present you this totally awesome Tarantino mixtape.
Yes, we are fans of Quentin here at frankylicious. And of his soundtracks. Now the guys at Eclectic Method went further and created an awesome mixtape of his soundtracks. With just as awesome video.
The most embarassing? The video is 7 months old and we only discovered it now!
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?
Ok, ok… I’m slow with this one and could have posted it before everyone had already seen it but hey… boy’s gotta do what they have to do or?
Or something like that or watch the newest Big Bang Theory episode. Gosh, I am more and more starting to like Penny. Perfect typecasting.
Anyway. So yeah. Ric Turner just did it. No he wasn’t being a Tiger! In the Northern American craze and hype of over-decorating your houe for the festive period, he gave it a spin. Holiday lightning around the house? Sure, why not he thought, but at least be original.
What did he come up with?
The Guitar Hero House.
And the thing is fully functional. I want to see a video of the whole street playing Rock Band!
I don’t really understand anything in this ad but it’s got a talking dog (teddybear) but more even it features Quentin Tarantino. A crazy Tarantino in kimono and a talking dog.
It seems that the dog is some kind of iPod speaker or something like that, probably with TV reception in the land of the rising sun, but I would love to have a translation. Did Tarantino write the script or dialogue? Japan specialists, help me out!
Now that’s shaking. I must admit having said Whoa on occasion when watching this video but there’s some really great gimmicks. I would think twice before ordering an Old Fashioned though.
Excellent short by Philip Bloom about the people living on the streets in San Francisco. Note that this video has been shot with a HD-SLR (Canon 5D MkII), but that’s probably the drooling nerd in me who likes that.
☆ I know there are fans of coffee art among the frankylicious readers, so I thought I might as well post a link to it here. Even though I would not want to wait or have a barista make a lovely piece of art I would ruin by stirring it up. No, I never would waste any of the guests' time layering flavoured mocchas. Anyway, here you go : Art in My Coffee.
☆ The Sun thinks differently. Did I just link to The Sun?Screw that. Everybody move on now! Nothing to see here.
☆ Not everyone enjoys Christmas but of course that doesn't mean you have to go totally Dickensian about it. Instead, play some Whack-a-mole. On your iPhone. Read a review at AppleGazette.
☆ 1000 Celebrities and pop culture icons in 8-bit art. On your iPhone. At $2.99 a cool deal for 8-bit nerds, otherwise wasted money. 'Get it!', we say.
☆ If you are not a victim of geotardation, ie. if you live in the US of A, you can watch the complete Caprica pilot on SyFy (who's the moron who came up with that spelling?
☆ Interesting discovery and video: an octopus uses a coconut shell to hide under but also takes the shell with him when walking over the mud of the ocean. Coconuts as tools. Most interesting of all, this was not discovered or filmed by the BBC Life team.
☆ Go on, admit it! You also want one of these: 700mW green laser pointer. Abuse the occasion as they are 20% off and only $2.499 anymore! I wished I were rich.
