Children In Need

Meet the greatest supergroup ever, featuring the vocal talents and dance moves of (and including many more) Thomas the tank engine, Spongebob, Sooty, the Teletubbies and even the strange Night Garden Crew.....I give you, The Animated All Star Band!
More than one hundred of the best-loved kids TV characters over three generations have been brought together for the Animated All Star Band by funnyman Peter Kay in aid of Children In Need.
The hordes of toys, animated characters and puppets are the stars of a groundbreaking Band Aid-style single and pop video - aired for the first time on BBC1's charity extravaganza last week.
Millions watched in amazement as kiddies' favourites, including Paddington Bear, the Thunderbirds, the Wombles and Bob The Builder joined forces.
In the video, the characters sing and perform dance routines to a medley of songs including Pussycat Dolls' Jai Ho, Take That's Never Forget and The Beatles' Hey Jude.
The ambitious animation project took two years to complete as toys, puppets and models were tracked down and shipped in from all over the world. Where's Noddy and Barney or a Smurf?

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die.
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Lt.-Col. John McCrae (1872 - 1918)

The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus

Here's another film that I'm eagerly awaiting, Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. The cast is spectacular and there's lots of speculation about the late Heath Ledger's last role being quite brilliant just like the Joker was. Christoper Plummer is usually always outstanding and Tom Waits too.

Anyways, we've got to wait until Christmas before it's released in theatres. Be sure to check out the trailer on the official site it's really great eye candy!

You May Call Me V

"...V: But on this most auspicious of nights, permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace sobriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona.
V: Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
[carves V into poster on wall]
V: The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
[giggles]
V: Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V...."
