SHERRY'S LAST NIGHT OUT
2009 -
08.25
Last night was Sherry St Germain’s final “Hurrah” in Vancouver before her departure to Las Vegas. She’s been hired and recruited to perform for Cirque! We decided to celebrate her exodus and made our way to Republic where Farshad was playing percussion.
WHOA FARSHAD – NICE BI’s and TRI’s! -
Check out the dancing peeeeps -
To celebrate the occasion, we ALL jumped on the DRUMS and started killin’ it.
In this pic Farshad is all like “hmmmmmm”……but then he got into it!
It was a percussion EXTRAVAGANZA.
Have a safe flight Sherry – We’ll see ya in VEGAS.

WHY DO THE DINOSAURS STILL LOOK SO REAL IN JURASSIC PARK?

OR
Why do all new movies with CG kinda look shitty. I mean, maybe it’s just me, but the T-REX and Raptors in the JP movie look way more realistic than new movies supposedly featuring “cutting edge” special effects.
Maybe it’s just because it was all the way back in 94 and my young mind was more easily swayed, but it seems like CG has downgraded substantially from the pressures it used to put on itself.
Take District 9 for example. I thought this movie was extremely enjoyable and really well done, but it’s undeniable that some parts just looked FAKE.
Actually…….upon further pondering District 9 had pretty excellent special effects.
SO – Then what about Spiderman…he looked so fake swinging trough the city in practically every movie.
Due to my lack of concrete evidence, I’m just going to say that I fondly remember back in the 80′s when the film makers had to create their own animatronic wonders in JIM HENSON’S CREATURE SHOP.
They were the same geniuses who created David Bowie’s “package” in Labyrinth.
But does anyone remember when the T-REX ATE THE GOAT?

KIDS IN THE HALL

Just read on Perez that KIDS IN THE HALL are reuniting for some special CANADIAN mini series or something. It’s not based on the sketch show but may feature appearances by classic characters. This is all DOPE, but I don’t even have a TV so maybe someone will upload it online to watch.
To commemorate and honor the comedy troupe, here are some funny sketches I remember seein’ when I was a young Canadian child!
