Weird, and definitely on the most interesting side of the wierd. I will have to see this film when it comes out.

Seriously... 500 dollars
The Purchase Brothers spent $500 to make these two episodes of thier Half-Life 2 inspired miniseries, "Escape from City 17".
Reportedly, according to a discussion on the page at JoyStiq, much of the work in this film was covered in personal favors and people chipping in.
Still, to think that someone managed to pull all of this this together on $500, is a serious testament to the resourcefulness of the Purchase Brothers.
Info and additional info from Joystiq were found via Warren Ellis - who you should already have heard of.

See Coraline This Week
Beth and I saw it a few days ago, and plan to see it again this coming week; This, not just because we are both big Gaiman fans, but because it was an incredible experience.
This is not one of these films you can just wait to see at home, even if you are one of those people who really hates sharing the theater with children, and here is why:
I have yet to see a 3-d version of any of the recent 3-d movies released on DVD. Even if it happens, it would never be the same as seeing it larger than life on the big screen.
There is one chance to see it big and in 3D, and this is it.
Coraline is only likely to be available in 3-D for the next week or two (source: Neil Gaimain: 3d-or-not-3d).
And as for the children part... see it late if you wish, but I can tell you that hearing other people's children scream in horror and freak out towards the end of the movie, is *almost* as awesome as I would imagine it to be to hear my own screaming in fear and freaking out towards the end of the movie.
Don't have your own kids to frighten and spook? All the more reason to go and see it in theaters.

Full Frontal Consumption
Excellent work. Never have I been so engrossed in watching bearded people eat.
The filming of this piece was so incredibly good, and so well-synched with the music that you could have put any subject matter in there and it would be fascinating.
"I couldn't decide if what I created was a music video or a
short film", says T. Bias, frontman of the new incarnation of Batcave Brit band Specimen about this latest work, which I believe is the perfect formula for such a striking, viral, and memorable music video.
"If I can get enough interest, I may be able to make more films,
if I can get a hold of more video gear. I have more ideas...", he adds.
Well, I would love to see him get more interest, and do more things like these, and especialy if it encourages him to do more with his audio.
You *Can* view this video below, but I highly recommend viewing it in higher resolution HD at 720 dpi wide by clicking here. Doing so will support his efforts, and lend much-deserved incentive to do more these sort of projects.
