Freedom Project 1 – 4 (2006 – 2008): Review

March 28, 08 //

To the uninitiated, the Japanese anime industry and the culture that surrounds it can seem perplexing at times, to say the least. In the west, when a film or TV show is released directly to video or DVD, its usually a sign of inferior quality or very limited market appeal. Or, in other words, it’s too shit to be shown at the cinema. Plus usually we’re talking about the sort of unoriginal, opportunist, unnecessary sequels that Disney were famous for churning out a few years ago. Jungle Book Two, anyone? God help us.

I had an excellent Easter weekend, but since it ended I’ve had an evil motherfucker of a head cold, with mucus seeping into every part of already feeble brain, especially the parts which deal with blogging, apparently. Hence the brief and sporadic nature of recent posts, and why over the next couple of days I’ll be trying to catch up with events from over the weekend.

Following on from last week’s Weapon of Choice post, I’ve been spending some time this morning chatting with Bristol graf legend and one time Banksy collaborator Jer “Lokey” Forceone. Top geezer. Plus he’s kindly said I can share his Flickr page with you guys, so you can check out some more of his work. Enjoy.

Props Lokey!

R.I.P.

I can’t start to tell you how important the movie 2001 has been in my life. For a start, my parents went to see it on their first date. Then they took me to see it when it was re-shown at the cinema in the early 80’s…I must have been about 9 or 10. It completely fucked with my head. Pretty much ever since then I’ve been a fan of both Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C Clarke. It’s a weird feeling to know now that neither of them are around…

Cat Le-Huy, 31, head of technology for Big Brother makers Endemol, finally returned home last Thursday after being thrown behind bars on a holiday in the UAE in January, also for cannabis possession. He had less than 0.03 grams – about the same weight as a grain of salt, apparently – in his suitcase. What’s also interesting is that he shared a cell with Grooverider.
