Fast, Cheap & Out There featured on Celluloid Dreams
You've gotta love these guys' work ethic... Rayon Films' latest feature, Sisters In Blood (which is showing at the Valhalla), was supposedly shot entirely in one day. And they're looking to follow it up with an even more impressive feat of not-mucking-about : The 60 Film Experiment... As the name suggests, the aim is to produce 60 films in one year!... If you want to be part of the insanity, you can - they're looking for film ideas... Find out more at their site.
I'd Like To Thank the Members of the Academy... featured on Celluloid Dreams
Have you ever heard those words and wished that you'd been the casting vote in the Academy so you could keep that self-regarding no-talent offstage?... Well, that day will probably never come but, in the meantime, here's the next best thing - a chance to cast your vote in the IF Awards, a people's choice awards night for Australian features, short films & documentaries. The deadline for voting is 15 Oct.
They Were Literally Mixed In With Family Photo Albums... featured on Celluloid Dreams
Stories about children exploiting famous parents are nothing new, but this one is perverse bordering on surreal... The son of Bob Crane, who starred as Colonel Hogan in cult TV series Hogan's Heroes, has published amateur porn photos and videos of his father on the Web... Despite being denounced by his siblings, Bob Jr stands by the site claiming that he set it up to dispel rumours that his father was into S&M and homosexuality... Note to parents : some things should not become family heirlooms.
Fisting & Bukkake : The New Porn Frontier featured on Celluloid Dreams
This article, originally published in the subscribers-only version of Salon.com, takes you into the world of extreme porn, where boundaries are pushed in what may be an effort to make tamer forms of smut seem more acceptable. (I won't explain the two 'practices' mentioned in the title... Read the article and find out for yourself.)
I Thought Most Of Them Were Clones Already... featured on Celluloid Dreams
BBC News reports that a US company is offering movie stars and other prominent people the chance to copyright their DNA. This would protect them against 'future actions such as DNA theft and misappropriation, cloning, and other unauthorized activities'. And all for a special introductory price of $1,500!... I doubt if they'll get many takers though... Not because it's an idiotic idea, but rather because the terrible truth is that most movie stars are thinly-disguised clones anyway!
