Holy Crap, I have seen a lot of resumes in my life along with writing a few, and have never seen anything like these. I am a computer geek, with this title back in the 90′s to get a decent job you had to stand out from the crowd in some way or another. I chose tattoos and big holes in my ears while others I knew chose purple hair and “slacker” type clothing. Yes mine was the more permanent but damn it I still love them, even the holes in my ears that I can put my pinkie in. With that being said apparently to be an insane graphic designer you have to do the same today. They just choose to do it in a less scary way, like making their resumes impossible to read but man does it look sick!
Take a look at the few examples I have here then follow the jump on the bottom of the page for around 28 more.
It has become painfully clear that Hollywood has run out of ideas for new films and has resorted to a constant slew of remakes and ridiculous sequels to keep the money flowin’ and movie goers “delighted” with “new and innovative visions”, “previously drawn out story lines combined into a simpler story” and “other things that go in quotations”.
We have grit our teeth through remake after rehash, some great, some not so great, some that feel like a real life version of Saw… but with Miley Cyrus as Jigsaw and the Jonas Brothers as the hack saws.
Recently there has been a large number of horror icon remakes. What is a “Horror Icon” you ask? Well, its the same two words, but now new and improved with BOLD, ITALICS and QUOTATIONS”"”"”"! We have seen a new Leatherface in Texas Chainsaw Massacre, a new Michael Myers in Halloween, a new Jason in Friday the 13th and now, a new Freddy in A Nightmare on Elm St. With any luck we will see a Hellraiser, Killer Tomato and maybe even a Ghoulies remake. (Those little toilet gremlins still bother me. They remind of my uncle Dave who used to hide in outhouses as a “surprise” drink a lot)
Frightening I know.
April 30th, 2010 is a date that many of us horror fans have been anxiously awaiting or dreading depending on your views of horror remakes. Jackie Earle Haley, currently best known for his portrayal of Rorschach in Watchmen, will be dawning the Fedora and Not-Safe-For-Children-or-Me Glove O’ Sharp.
Thankfully I have a lot more faith in Jackie than I did in the last person to wear a glove of knives…
Anyway, the new trailer is out and being the horror geek I am, I am rather anxious to see this. I will spare you my opinions of the other remakes (I LIKED THEM, NOW PISS OFF!) because I don’t feel it holds any place in this article.
Go watch the trailer and bitch about in the comments because I know you will.
Wah wah wah, they changed the story. Wah wah wah, its not Robert Englund. Wah Wah Wah, Freddy goes by Fredrick. Wah wah wah, its gonna be rated PG. Shut up and go to your room.
Ok…So this is a band from a good friend of mine – hence the Shameless Plug. Pesky J Nixon is a Folk band (yes, I said Folk). Personally, I really like to listen to the most eclectic mix of music you can imagine. We are talking about Les Claypool to Bach to Cradle of Filth to Hed P.E but I was never one for folk or country. So for me to say I really like Pesky’s stuff is just…weird. Ethan gets extra respect, due to the fact he has to deal with me on a daily basis because we work together. I am in a nice mood right now so I am going to include their music player too. Check out their site and buy a few tickets to go see them in person (something I have yet to do, but hey…he hasn’t visited me yet either). They are a damn good time!
Awww Yeah! Now this is what I am talking about. Who doesn’t want a Zombie Mario shirt? A Zombie you said? Well to hell with them man. This shirt is the bomb yo. Alright, it isn’t all that and a bag of chips but it is pretty cool. Take a look at this companies other shirts on the jump below.
That’s right folks! It is called 8-bit Fatality and kicks some serious butt. I hope he puts one out of the dog from Duck Hunt getting shot in the &%#$#% head as his next picture. Man that dog pissed me off.
