QUANTUM OF SOLACE trailer; Question: Can a trailer capture all the love, angst, and badassery of the final film? This trailer answers yes...

...then it kicks your ass for asking such a stupid question! Here it is, the trailer for Bond #22, QUANTUM OF SOLACE. If you watched the first one and had any form of a working heart, then you most likely had adrenaline flowing through you for most of the film. I believe this film hopes to do the same only this time, sending you into cardiac arrest, in a good way (this film will not send you into cardiac arrest) (it might, I'm not sure, it would depend on pre-existing conditions or whether you have a medical emergency while watching the film). QUANTUM picks up right where CASINO ROYALE left off, with Bond catching Mr. White and finding out who it is he works for. If you saw THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY, which I highly recommend for it was one of the best I've seen, then you know who plays the villain in this film, Mathieu Amalric. Well, just watch the trailer and we'll talk about it later. Enjoy.

Chainsaw Maid; the zombie claymation short to rule all zombie claymation shorts

I find some great things online to post on the site but stop short thinking no one except me would be interested in them. Thus wass the case here. I remember seeing this YouTube short in the beginning of the year and thought it was the neatest claymation I'd seen in a while. I used to be a big fan of Knox's Korner and all other well crafted claymation shorts I could find. Takena is the creator of the short you are about to watch, Chainsaw Maid. Really good quality stuff. The pitch is simple. Father and daughter are at home being attended to by their maid when a bloodied woman comes to warn them about something. Check out Takena's YouTube page HERE. And also check out the above mentioned site, Knox's Korner. They've both got some great and funny stuff. Enjoy.
Thanks to Quiet Earth for bringing Chainsaw Maid back into the spotlight.
