Snow, part 2
Being out in the snow reminded me of what I remember being the second scariest thing I watched as a child (the scariest being when that woman in Superman III gets turned into a cyborg) but annoyingly I can’t find it anywhere on the tinterweb.
It’s from the 1983 animated adaptation of the Wind in the Willows and it’s the bit when Moly goes into the Wild Wood to meet Badger and it’s all dark and snowy and the weasels are in the shadows and the music’s crazy scary and then he trips over Badger’s door-scraper.
Given that the Superman III cyborg is nowhere near as scary as I remember I imagine that the Wild Woods aren’t either but it definitely used to freak me out.
On a related note if anyone fancies reading the Wind in the Willows it’s online here.
Everything was very still now. The dusk advanced on him steadily, rapidly, gathering in behind and before; and the light seemed to be draining away like flood-water.
Then the faces began.
Weasels are scary.

Tough Guy Challenge
The ever-amazing Big Picture has shots from around the world of the 2009 Tough Guy Challenge.
I think any man who runs through fire in a Borat thong deserves our respect.
9 is an upcoming film by Shane Acker produced by Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov – the trailer came out for this film on Christmas Day but I’ve not really heard anything since:
The original short (below) won quite a few awards, and you can see why.
I really like the isolated feel the short has so I hope I still like the feature length adaptation – either way the character design is just awesome.

Not that I need it
But here’s another reason I want an iPhone:
While I take the writer’s point that:
Seems to me that touching enemies to make them die shaves off a large chunk of the game’s difficulty…
Me still want.
