Ray Harryhausens skeletons

Ray Harryhausen's special effects handiwork has been a highlight of fantasy films throughout the years before the advent of computer cinematic enhancement. An especially outstanding segment of his work has to be the animation of skeletons to battle human defenders in both Jason and the Argonauts (1963) as well as in The 7th Voyage Of Sinbad (1958), scenes from both movies are included below.

Carnivore
L'Amours, Brooklyn NY

After the breakup of the band Fallout and prior to forming Type O Negative, Peter Steele played bass and performed lead vocals in the Brooklyn based thrash band Carnivore. The hard and heavy music was paired with often controversial and thought provoking lyrics. During it's brief existence Carnivore released two records with the sound changing from a more conventional metal style towards a faster, more hardcore crossover sound.

Freaks and Geeks - 1999 - pilot episode

The 1999 series Freaks and Geeks was a one of a kind television series. Fairly realistically and thoroughly engaging, the program depicted life in the early 1980s at McKinley High School. Created by Paul Feig (who also directed the 2000 Discos and Dragons episode and has gone on to direct episodes of Arrested Development, The Office, Nurse Jackie, and others) the show was an early showcase for many young actors who went on to greater acclaim. Here's the pilot episode.

Superjail - where is season 2?

The darkly hilarious, visually intricate and
ridiculously violent cartoon Superjail
became an instant favorite of mine after catching
an episode on Adult Swim awhile back. Unfortunately the
rumors of a second season have yet to materialize
with any new shows...
