Movie Trailer: Ninja Assassin (red band)
For those who missed the first Ninja Assassin trailer I posted last month, fear not! This latest offering brings even more ninja action than its predecessor, complete with buckets of blood and enough unbelievable slow-motion killshots to keep even the most voracious fan of over-the-top action flicks satisfied.
I doubt it’ll win any awards for its dialogue, but Ninja Assassin still tops my current list of films to look forward to before the end of the year.
Video Spotlight: Mario does Queen’s ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’
Has watching a video ever caused you to shake your head and exclaim “Clearly they have too much free time!”, though you are secretly jealous of the sheer awesomeness involved in creating such a spectacle?
Well, prepare to have whatever video you currently hold as “most incredible ever” banished to a distant memory by this one. Using multiple running copies of a modified Super Mario World, someone has set up an almost perfect rendition of the classic song by Queen, using rapid-fire sound effects from the game.
Video Spotlight: Plane Stupid and the polar bears
In this surreal anti-airflight video by campaigners Plane Stupid, we’re told that the average European flight produces 400kg of greenhouse gas per passenger, which works out at roughly the same as an adult polar bear.
Not sure the motif really drives home the point, but the video is certainly striking and is bound to get people talking – something which, in the days of shock campaigns aimed at shaking the non-voters out of their indifference, is almost as important as the message itself.
