ET Sequel!! Trailer For ET-X (The X Stands For Extinction)

"Come on E.T, Let's go save the world!"

Featuring original cast members, Drew Barrymore and Henry Thomas (Elliot) but as grown ups, Peter Coyote (Keys, the FBI / Secret Agent we all thought was a bad guy, that probably got together with Elliott's Mum after the little space alien went home) as well as Bruce Willis (of course) and Morgan Freeman, who isn't playing the US president this time, as it has a cameo from President Obama!

ET has come back.. to save the Earth - from the other ET's that aren't so nice and environmentally friendly!

A fantastically made fan spoof trailer unfortunately, featuring clips from ET, War Of The Worlds and other alien invasion / disaster films but a must watch all the same - I wonder what Steven Spielberg thinks...?

'XXX Are Sh*t And Here's Proof' Les Dawson Would Be Proud

There's not much that makes me laugh as much as Les Dawson (RIP) on his piano. As the old man would say (he's a pianist too) playing songs slightly out of tune is actually very difficult to do. I'm sure Les would be proud of Irish comedian NostrilShorts, who has posted some fantastic videos of well known artists - with the "real" sound from the front of house desk, under the title 'insert band' are shit, and here's proof.







Then there's the "real" sound feed from Kings Of Leon from the 2009 Reading Festival posted by allergonoise


And finally, Les Dawson himself;

The Known Universe - Mapped

I can hear Prof Brian Cox saying "you know, the Universe, is, like, dead big".

Here it is then, taking you from "the Himalayas through our atmosphere and the inky black of space to the afterglow of the Big Bang. Every star, planet, and quasar seen in the film is possible because of the world's most complete four-dimensional map of the universe, the Digital Universe Atlas that is maintained and updated by astrophysicists at the American Museum of Natural History"

Bon Jovi Only Have Three Songs

A tired bunch, late at night and huddled around a heater in the production office of the Radio One / NME stage at the Reading Festival last year, dwelled on the subject of the 2011 main stage headliners.. it sparked a lengthy albeit weary discussion on one band, put forward by someone that *really* should know better.

Bon Jovi.

I've no idea why amongst other worthy contenders such as SoundGarden / Muse / Red Hot Chili Peppers / The Strokes (hey we got two right!) Jon Bon Jovi's band popped into this person's head, but he backed up his suggestion with the lines that they'd "go down a storm" - the case against them was overwhelming;

a) they'd get bottled off almost immediately
b) amongst the six or so people discussing this global mega-band (they've sold over 130million records), we could only name three of their songs.

It has since been pointed out that they've got two others, "It's My Life" and "You Give Love A Bad Name", but for me, it stuck - Bon Jovi only have three songs.

How Do You Play Football If You Live On A Floating Village?

This film is based on a true story. In 1986 a football team that lived on a little island in the south of Thailand called "Koh Panyee". It's a floating village in the middle of the sea that has not an inch of soil. The kids here loved to watch football but had nowhere to play or practice. But they didn't let that stop them. They challenged the norm and have become a great inspiration for new generations on the island.

A few days ago in a desert not so far away...

Marble Madness

Well, ok Ball Bearing Madness. I remember making a helter skelter type of thing for marbles out of cardboard as a wee lad in the Grove Primary School. This bloke has spent hours doing it, far too many if I'm honest. My favourite is at around 1min 42secs though, as the ball zooms down the slide, goes back up another, and then down a twisty little helter skelter. Weee!

Pencil Sharpening Sculptures

I come from a technical drawing background, and having a *very* sharp pencil (of various weights) is vital to doodling- sorry accurate drawing. Despite failing my 'o' level - in which I was predicted an 'a' (special thanks to a teacher that didn't teach the curriculum AT ALL - plus, as someone that has a surname also beginning with 'a' at a MASSIVE disadvantage at the front of the exam room because I couldn't eavesdrop on the other upright drawings like my also failing-albeit one grade above - 'n' grade class mates) Anyway, this is very impressive. And slightly obsessive. And most of them would be rubbish for drawing with
