Chaser's Age of Terror Variety Hour Review
I just saw Chaser's Age of Terror Variety Hour (info here and here and can't really say I was impressed.
I'll keep this brief but I should have known the "Variety Hour" meant just that. An hour. I expected more than 65 minutes from the show.
The routine was musically jam packed and at many times I could hardly understand what they were saying. The jokes felt stale or laboured and the few times they did anything enlightening were few and far between. The best part of the Chaser's show was when they ambushed people and did stunts. This was lacking from the stage show for obvious reasons. There was a good routine about online dating and one about powerpoint but hardly side splitting stuff or even explored in depth.
I went to a spoken word by Henry Rollins and that was a 3hr (OK 3 hrs was a touch too long) but I laughed more at that and he had more interesting things to say about politics (even Aussie politics).
So all I'd say is that if you are planning on seeing the show save your cash and buy their DVD set. If you already have that then don't worry. You're not missing much and go out and buy the Venture Bros DVD set. That's worth every cent.
Justice Stress Film Clip
Amazing clip from young French director Romain Gavras! Check our his previous clips here on his myspace page.
I'm going as far as saying he's the new French Spike Jonze although with less of a sense of humour and more of a chip on his shoulder. Very powerful and asks the question was this acted or shot for real. Check this page for a big debate on the clip and it's controversy.
Reminds me of watching Kids or Gummo. Justice not only have one of the best albums of last year but also 3 killer film clips to go with it and sexy cover art.
The other director I can't get enough of is Tom Kuntz. Best name too. I can;t wait to see him progress to the big screen. Another Kuntz film. I picked a few of my favs of his work here previously.

H Gun 3
The prop gun we're buiding for a shoot in May is almost done. It's looking badass! Just a few yellow highlights and it's done.
It's a frankenstein of two toy guns. We were able to combine the left over parts for another small weapon too.
You can see the duct tape in this shot but when it's shrunk down to screen res you wont see any of this.
Not bad for $40 and half a days work.

Red Bull Flugtag Sydney
I was one of the 50,000 people at Sydney today watching the Red Bull Flutag. It seemed bugger than Trop Fest but spread across a bigger area. Sadly I didn't get there early enough to get a good spot. This would have to be the most successful branded event ever held in Sydney hands down. The atmosphere was positive and the event was well organised (even with the larger than expected crowd.
