John Alvin passed away. I didn't really know who he was, but I knew the artwork he made. I've been a fan of this guy's work since I was a kid and I never knew.
Visit his site at www.johnalvinart.com and take a look at gallery. Anyone who went to the movies during the 80's and 90's will remember seeing these in the lobby. He created the campaigns for some of my favorites.
Clone Wars is Coming
It don't look as good as Tartakovsky’s work, but I loved the series so I'm hoping this doesn't suck.

Turner Broadcasting Lands Lucasfilm Ltd.’s STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS Television Series
Groundbreaking Animated Series Premieres This Fall on Cartoon Network and TNT
After months of speculation throughout the television industry, Turner Broadcasting has landed the broadcast rights to the highly-sought-after CG-animated series, STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS, from creator George Lucas. A new era of Stars Wars entertainment begins this fall when the television series premieres on Cartoon Network, followed by airings on TNT. The series will premiere following the North American theatrical release Friday, August 15, from Warner Bros. Pictures. Details regarding international television broadcasts will be announced shortly.
Produced by Lucasfilm Animation, STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS takes audiences on incredible new Star Wars adventures, combining the legendary storytelling of Lucasfilm with an eye-popping, signature animation style.
“I felt there were a lot more Star Wars stories left to tell,” said George Lucas, executive producer of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. “I was eager to start telling some of them through animation and, at the same time, push the art of animation forward.”
“Nothing like this has ever been produced for television,” said Stuart Snyder, President/COO Turner Animation, Young Adults & Kids Media. “For 30 years, Star Wars has shown that it appeals to a huge breadth of fans. STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS on Cartoon Network will be appointment television for everyone in the family. We’re thrilled to be working with Lucasfilm again and very excited to be playing a role in bringing this remarkable adventure to viewers.”
STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS showcases an entirely new look and feel to the galaxy far, far away, combining the expansive scope of the Star Wars saga with state-of-the-art computer-generated animation. Each week, viewers will see a thrilling, 30-minute “mini-movie” created by the talented artists at Lucasfilm Animation.
On the front lines of an intergalactic struggle between good and evil, fans young and old will join such favorite characters as Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Padmé Amidala, along with brand-new heroes like Anakin’s padawan learner, Ahsoka. Sinister villains—led by Palpatine, Count Dooku and General Grievous—are poised to rule the galaxy. Stakes are high, and the fate of the Star Wars universe rests in the hands of the daring Jedi Knights. Their exploits lead to the action-packed battles and astonishing new revelations that fill STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS.
With a new story each week, STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS continues the tradition of thrilling stories, astonishing visuals and extraordinary music that have always been the hallmarks of the Star Wars saga.

Cloverfield

I hate hype.
Hype is what people throw at you when they know their stuff sucks. More often than not, you'll hear about how great something is on the Net, get worked up with the geekspeak and marketing blurbs being thrown around and then when you go see it... it totally blows. I feel that way about alot of things. Blair Witch. Transformers. Narnia. Sliced Bread.
Every once in a while though, there's a movie that actually lives up to the hype. Cloverfield is one of those.
I remember seeing the trailer last year, and I wondered if I had walked in late and missed something. It didn't have the title of the movie at the end so I said "hmm, that looks cool. wonder what it's for..." then promptly forgot that it existed. Then Marco brought it up in his usual style (something along the lines of "You haven't heard of Cloverfield? What kind of geek are you? Loser.) and I looked it up online. I found a mess of a marketing on the net; an ingenious conglomeration of viral campaigns and supposed "leaks" of the monster that threatened to ruin it for any monster movie maniac.
But that's where the movie really gets you. It's NOT a monster movie. Sure there's a monster. Everyone saw the grainy net photos and the crappy gif animations. It's huge. It's ugly. It's got testicles for ears. However, the monster ISN'T the focus. I repeat. It ISN'T important. Forget about Mr. Slugbody. He's just a big, ugly plot device.
It's the bystanders that are important. This is a movie about the people in the streets. The people who run from the big lizards shouting "Gojira! Gojira!". Those poor bastards who got ripped to shreds in Jurassic Park. All those nobodies in the comics who are never mentioned plummeting to their death when Superman plows through a building or squished flat when Magneto levels a city.
Cloverfield is about drama. It's the most intense suspense I've seen in quite a while. I found myslef holding my breath constantly waiting for the next thing to happen. I'm pleasantly suprised that JJ Abrahms is part of this, since I've basically boycotted his TV franchises.
Here's hoping he doesn't fuck up Star Trek.
A quiz for Marco
