Yahoo!Xtra - Under the Mountain

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 22:44:04 -0700

Under the Mountain is an incredibly anticipated film by Kiwi director Jonathan King. King's first film was Black Sheep, which has become an international cult horror favourite. His second film might be a bit of a mystery to his horror fanbase, but it's just because they don't live in New Zealand and don't understand the institution that is Under the Mountain - a beloved book which was made into a TV series in the 80s. All you have to do is a bit of trolling around on IMDB to see how people still remember this show from the 80s - and not just in NZ but in the US where it aired on Nickelodeon. Once you do dig a bit deeper you begin understand why King took this on as his second project. I'm just an NZ import and I am HUGELY looking forward to this film, thanks to a friend who introduced me to UTM back when the film was in production!

This looks absolutely smashing. It's so awesome to see the Ghostbusters franchise revitalized, and fantastic that they've gotten (almost) all of the originals (damn you, Rick Moranis!) to do the voice work. Woohoo!

omg INSANE! Singularity looks like a mind blowing game, and this site keeps you on top of all of the developments, including the buzz and viral LOST-style Alternate Reality Game/ARG that is already out in the wild.

Hmm! Update! There actually seems to be a LOST connection, and a real affinity - Lost fans take note!

Meteor propter hoc | Bad Astronomy | Discover Magazine

Great blog about the NZ Herald turkey story that actually surmised in print that the Ponsonby fire on Saturday night was caused by the crazy meteor that passed overhead. It was a fun theory, especially when it was happening, but actually going on the record with that thought was a bit mad!

Although, I can only be jealous of all of the traffic it would have sent them!!

Witnessing that meteor was one of the best things I've ever seen. I've seen the classic shooting stars before, on the horizon, but I have ever, ever, had something that passed *directly overhead*, like an aircraft passing over, and was so incredibly close. You could actually hear it. And the trail it left behind stayed illuminated for several minutes. I would love to know how close it was! That crazy flash of light as well. All this witnessed from the top of a volcano, one of the best vantage points in the city.

It was truly an otherworldly experience.

The blaze following shortly thereafter just was craziness. I'm wondering what is going to happen during the next full moon!

Uhhh, they definitely didn't put it out, because we just saw two tanks *blazing* as we landed at Changi Air Port (got video too), Singapore. Sitting in the departure lounge now and from the smoke you can tell that the fires are far from out.
