Fifteen Masters For The Win!
My friend Detrimental Storm has entered a machinima.com contest to have his script Fifteen Masters produced. It is a great story and I’m not just saying that because he’s my friend but he has been writing forever and this could be good for him. So read and give it 5 stars. You have until 11:59 p.m. PDT on August 24, 2006 to vote.
Description of Fifteen Masters: On the planet Musaea, fifteen young masters challege an older warrior to prove they are better than him, but their mission is haulted as they recognize how beautiful the world they live in can actually be.

Big Sword, Bigger Hair and Biggest Stars
Afro Samurai will slash its way on to Spike TV with the help of some heavy hitters in the movie and music industry. Samuel L. Jackson will the voice the lead role of Afro Samurai while RZA will score the soundtrack of the show. Afro Samurai definitely has a unique and strong art direction that will fusion Hip-Hop, technology and samurai swordplay. The Afro Samurai sight has this to say about the show, “After watching his father die in a duel against an unbeatable villian known only as ‘Justice’, young Afro fixes his life on the study of the sword and revenge.” Sounds like Afro Samurai has all of the elements to be a great show.
Free Legal Movie
Elephants Dream
Elephants Dream the first “open movie” has generated a buzz because they give the viewer access to everything from production files, downloading the movie and soundtrack, and more. Elephants Dream is a 3D animation that was created with a program called Blender and developed by the Orange Open Movie Project studio in Amsterdam. As far as the animation goes Elephants Dream does a great job of delivering interesting characters and highly detailed environments. So go with a open mind to the first open movie.

All Kinds Of Stuff From John K.
Who is John K. you ask? What is all kinds of stuff? Why do pigs fly? I will answer in the order given. First, John K. is the creator Ren & Stimpy and the proud owner of Spumco (which was reported here). Second, all kinds of stuff is John K.’s blog where he talks about new shows, caricatures, animation techniques and more. The last and final answer is that Ren & Stimpy - The Lost Episodes will be released on July 18, 2006. What does that have to do with pigs flying, well I thought I would never get new episodes of Ren & Stimpy. Another bonus to John K.’s all kinds of stuff is that he has posted sneak previews of the DVD. Enjoy.
Ren and Stimpy Creator’s Blog
