Movies You Didn’t Buy: Cat Shit One

Tuesday, February 15th, 2011

Based on an manga of the same name (released in the US as “Apocalypse Meow” because you can’t say “shit” apparently).  Cat Shit One is a hard core, no holds barred war story.  Starring furry animals.  The original was set in Vietnam, but the new one follows the members of US recon team code named “Cat Shit One” through missions in Afganistan (in case you’re wondering, the Americans are bunnies because the Japanese word for bunny is “usagi”).  The first episode is up on You Tube for free, the Blu-Ray and DVD are available.  Don’t let the fuzzy animals fool you, shit blows up real good.

DigitalRev: Possibly the Best Website Ever (Photography Division)

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

Things I never thought I’d see include:

  1. Pigs flying out of my ass
  2. A Black President
  3. Salma Hayek naked in my bedroom
  4. An Asian hipster basically doing a Jeremy Clarkson impersonation…to review cameras in Hong Kong.

Well, 1 and 3 still haven’t happened, but 2 and 4 are here. See below as Kai, the above mentioned Asian hipster, is challenged to paint an innocent Nikon D90 “the company’s colors.”  It is brilliant and terrible. This is the world of DigitalRev, a Hong Kong based camera store who’s blog apparently seeks to do for photography blogs what Top Gear did for automotive television shows.  And bless ‘em for it.

Granted, some random blog from a former British territory isn’t going to have nearly the production values of The World’s Most Popular Automotive Programme.  But the attitude is there.  Ridiculous challenges? Check.  Sarcastic reviews that are more entertaining than informative? Check. High entertainment value? Check.

I love this site.
