Now This Is The Kind Of Movie I Want To See More Of...

Kung Fury... a late Christmas present for a guy just getting back into the blogging groove! Thanks to my buddy Jeff Bond (a la my man Glenn) we get this awesome project called Kung Fury, a proto movie being created in Sweden about a renegade cop in 80s Miami that gets kicked off the force because he is too aggressive... and then decided to go back into time to hunt the greatest Kung Fu villain of all time: The Kung Fuhrer himself, Adolf Hitler! Oh, and there are also dinosaurs, power gloves, Viking warriors, Thor, and much more. Jesus, are you kidding me? The best part about this project has to be that the director has already shot 30 minutes of footage, went to Kickstarter to raise money to travel to Miami to get the background shots he needed for the film, and promptly achieved DOUBLE his goal of 200,000 in funding. So now my man has close to a half a mil to finish this thing up properly. Let's hope he does it and gives us a classic in the vein of Black Dynamite...

Tilt Warning Customs Wants To Bring Back The Arcade With Custom Pinball Machines Designed By Some Very Talented Artists...

I am a huge fan of artists Alex Pardee and one of the things I love about him has to be his lengthy blog posts that allow him to ramble about various things he is doing (forget his art which is awesome, his blog is hilarious... check it out). One of the projects he has become involved is the Bring Back The Arcade kickstarter campaign by a company called Tilt Warning Customs. Tilt Warning Customs is already an active pinball customization company, but they work on an order by order basis. The Bring Back The Arcade project would allow them to give 10 artists blank canvases of a machine and have them create a crazy piece of playable art, and then put those 10 machines into one playable art exhibition. Now that is one art show I would love to go to. The thing I liked most about Pardee's post about the kickstarter was how he acknowledge why he felt he was never good at pinball. He said the reason why he never played pinball in the arcade was because he wanted to use his precious quarters on games he could last longer than 4 seconds on... and since he never played pinball, he never got any better. But as an artist Pardee is amazing, so even though he didn't like the game itself so much I still can't wait to see the creepy monsters & deformities that Pardee puts onto his personalized pinball machine.

CCD Links It Up Vol #6

It's that time again folks... time to make the rounds of what is popping around the Intrawebs. I think all of these stories are dope in their own right, and I know that I could not do it any better than the people who I am linking it towards. In this episode we got movie trailers, Lady Gaga in her thong, An explanation of why the fuck they killed ??? (spoilers ahead after the jump) off of Sons of Anarchy by showrunner Kurt Sutter, a kickstarter worth supporting, and how to make a magazine out of old magazine ads...
