I always thought a koala would make a better mascot than a polar bear.

My Brother, the Iron Man
My brother, Andy, is always looking for ways to expand his crime-fighting arsenal. So, for his birthday, I got him Iron Man's bracelets from The Avengers (available at Think Geek).
Andy enjoys the occasional skydive, so I figured the Iron Man bracelet would come in handy under less-than-favorable circumstances...
Happy Birthday, Andy! And many safe returns!

Jennifer Holiday Eats Young Woman's Head
I'm not a fan of American Idol, but I did catch last night's finale and I must say the duet between Jennifer Holliday and 1st place loser Jessica Sanchez was uh-mazing! The facial expressions alone on Ms. Holliday, who is doing everything she can to bury Sanchez's career before it begins, are worth the watch!
I'm not sure if it's singing or roaring, but if this sort of gladiator-battle-set-to-music is American Idol, sign me up!

Chades Challenge LXXIII: Heist Gone Wrong
This one's for my buddy Vi, who I always imagined would be involved in a botched heist at some point in his life. To be fair, I'd most likely be the flaky driver who took off on him half way through the job.
If you have any ill-fated criminals of your own, let me know and I'll post them below. Otherwise, join in June 1st for...

Last Day of AM/PM Class
Last night was the final class of my third semester teaching at the Academy of Art University.
Brave's director, Mark Andrews, was our guest lecturer. Fresh from finishing the final cut of the film, Mark gave a talk on the slings and arrows of filmmaking and the story process. I think it's safe to say all of the students came bounding out of the lecture, their cups brimming with a fresh serving of inspiration.
We asked our class to bring in scenes where a character experienced victory, to celebrate the end of a successful term. This scene, in particular, fit what Paul and I put our students through and the vindication of passing our class.
The clip warranted a final whiteboard sketch.
As you may know, we have a tradition of bringing a dessert to class. This week it was my turn, and I wanted to send my class of in the most decadent chocolaty style.
Congrats to our class, and all you film students out there who are wrapping up a semester of hard work!

This week, The Avengers joined Transformers, The Deathly Hallows, and Toy Story 3 on the other side of the $1 billion mark. Congrats to Joss Whedon and his team for a fantastic film and all the well-deserved accolades.
