A return to form.

Meow! It's the Christmas monkey!

Dude, Neill, I apologize. This blog has been all over the place lately.

I mean, this shit is supposed to be about you, and your brilliance. So, I'm bringing it back around. Back to Neill. This is supposed to be a huge ego hand job dedicated to you, and instead I've been stroking everyone from Ridley Scott, to Guillermo del Toro. So I'm pulling it back to you.

Wait...that sounded all wrong.

Anyway, check this shit; I know you love you some Robocop. Here's my deal, we get together and hang, and these fucking Robocop 2 cards, ARE YOURS.

These are legit, not some Manitoban knock-off cards. Had them since I was a wee lad.

Yeah, dude. For free! We drink a couple beers, share some work experiences, listen to my pitch for my sci-fi version of Gone with the Wind (called, Gone with the Solar Winds, there's a Martian civil war and everything!), and become best friends. Free cards, dude.

So let me know what you think. I can't wait for Elysium. I watch your fucking Armadyne teaser all the time.

Hope shit is all cool, man.

Dude, Neill, what the eff. I be so damned excited for Elysium, but it be a year away. 2013? God grief, man. The other movie I'm super excited for is Pacific Rim, mainly because I here one of the concept artist is one of my favorite artist ever. And he's fucking hot, not that I'm looking, I'm married.

Anyway, since both those flicks are a million years from now, what's coming up?

I saw the trailer for The Hobbit, dude, it's totally ripping off Lord of the Rings. They have this wizard in it, he looks just like Gandalf. I watched it without sound. Anyway, that's a 2012 film so I'm guessing that will be coming out in a few months.

Then there's Batman, sorry, The Dark Knight Rises. Bane? Bane is my Venom. He's garbage, invented just to break Batman's back. As a villain, booooorrrring. Well, I have to admit, I fucking love Nolan's movies. So, I have faith that he'll make Bane cool. Maybe that's it, he's such a blank slate that Nolan can project anything onto him without the fanboys going berserk.

Tim Tebow 's prayers are finally answered.

Then there's P R O M E T H E U S. Fuck, I can not wait for this one. It looks awesome. It's so fucking cool, it's trailer has a trailer. A two part trailer. I mean, check this out! T R A I L E R pt 2.

Anyway, looks like there's some amazing flicks coming out, but shit dude, wrap that film up. I'm dying to see it!

Oh yeah, here's some random sketches.

Whaaaaat??!? Two posts in one day? Did you also know that I wrapped up some freelance and took the kids to Home Depot as well? Clearly not a slacker. CLEARLY.

So dude, what the shit is AGM Heartland? Because the story that's boiling in my head is pretty fucking cool. I love doing the art for this stuff, it's like Jimmy Dean meets Alien. Fuck, I can't wait to have more of it revealed.

Speaking of Alien, there's one thing I forgot to mention earlier. The other day while riding the bus home, I was watching District 9 on my Nano. This dude sitting next to me looks over at it and goes, "That was the best sci-fi film since the original Alien." I say, "Bladerunner." He goes (with a shrug), "Maybe."

Think about that hard. This guy is so fucking hardcore that he doesn't even think Bladerunner is a shoe in for the last great sci-fi film. Even more impressive (awesome?), he thinks District 9 is the only great sci-fi film since Alien. Pretty...fucking...cool.

Just saying.

Neill. Dude. I know everyone reading this blog thinks I'm a slacker. Shits been crazy. My day gig as an art director at Undead Labs has been super busy for the last couple of months, but damn, it's paying off. I foolishly took on some side projects as well, but it was super cool work, so the late nights were worth it. I had another project like that some time ago, four or five hours a sleep a night for a couple of weeks sort of gets to you after a while. I'm getting old.

I need a back up plan, something easy, that pays well. That's why I'm thinking; Director. Dude, you make it look so easy. I saw Damon on Stewart the other night, and it sounds like he already wrapped on Elysium. So I'm guessing your just hanging around waiting for effects to come in. I mean, I'm right aren't I? Actually, I am going to write some shit, and put some stuff together. For reals this time. Once I finish this super cool side project I'm on. I'm going to put together some pitch docs, and try my hand at filming some shorts. Short shorts.

Check out the boy who I want to be my cinematographer: DAN COLE. Click his name. He has a nice eye, and a rocking Leonidas beard. He kicks fuckers down stairwells yelling, "THIS IS SPARTA!" People crack up and hire him for parties. Kick parties and snuff films, that's Dan.

So dude, you've wrapped on the acting for Elysium, and I know shit is busy (yeah, I know the real work starts now) but seriously man, take some time and enjoy the holidays.

Wishing you and yours well;

Doug
