Sex, Drugs and Soft Toys: Making Meeting The Feebles
Meet The Feebles is a black comedy cult-classic puppet film directed by Peter Jackson (yes, that Peter Jackson) way back in 1989 that’s become well known in recent years thanks to the success of The Lord of the Rings trilogy. I recently discovered the Meet The Feebles “making of” documentary on YouTube.
Never Had a Year Like `09

Oranges: Revenge of the Eggplant
Oranges: Revenge of the Eggplant is the latest product of Rich Evans and Mike Stoklasa’s “Orange” universe. I’m still playing catch up with stuff since I was MIA here for awhile last month, but one of the (many) things I’ve been wanting to mention – and looking forward to watching – is Oranges: Revenge of [...]
