Sebastian Alvarez – Wingsuit Precision Flight!
From the video description:
Wingsuit pilot, Sebastian Alvarez, proving his precision flight skills in his squirrel suit, blasting through the Chilean flag placed on top of an extinct volcano, cerro manquehue, in his home country, Santiago de Chile.
What amazes me is the real-time speed Alvarez is traveling when he busts through the flag!
The 20 Scariest Movies of All-Time
The Entertainment Weekly staff came up with their list of the 20 Scariest Movies of All-Time.
The EW list is a pretty good one and using just their choices I came up with my top three:
- The Exorcist: Not only scary while you’re watching it, but even more frightening when you think about it later.
- 28 Days Later: Fast moving zombies (and let’s not argue the point that they aren’t zombies) and humans that are equally as dangerous.
- John Carpenter’s The Thing: Isolated in an environment that can kill and unable to tell friend from monster.
Alone Again by Gilbert O’Sullivan

Ten Marvel Characters ready for Reinvention on TV
Greg Marston and Newsarama recently posted their choices for Ten Marvel Characters ready for Reinvention on TV.
For what it’s worth, here’s my top five ranking of their choices:
- Shang Chi
- Blade
- Punisher
- Moon Knight
- Deathlok
If it was up to me though, I’d push for a Nick Fury: Agent of Shield show set in the 1960’s based on Steranko’s Nick Fury.

Tie a Yellow Ribbon by Tony Orlando and Dawn
Midday Music Day 51. Tie a Yellow Ribbon by Tony Orlando and Dawn.
This was a popular song with young and old alike. I enjoy the song, but it brings back special memories because of how much my grandmother liked it. In fact she loved Tony Orlando and Dawn. She watched their tv show and even bought their album!

300 Issues of Cerebus for Free
Did you know that you can read all 300 issues of Dave Sim’s Cerebus for free?
You can.
It is running one page a day here. Of course it will take 25 years to get the whole series. Still that’s five years faster than it took to get all 300 issues published.

Brad Bird “The Spirit” Pencil Animation Test
Steven Paul Levia recently posted a pencil test created in 1980 by Brad Bird [The Incredibles] and others from Cal Arts and Disney for a proposed movie featuring Will Eisner’s The Spirit.
Here’s what Mr. Levia has to say at his Youtube post:
In 2008 as Frank Miller’s live action feature film based on Will Eisner’s “The Spirit” was being released I wrote a piece for the Los Angeles Times on the time, back in 1980, when I became involved with Brad Bird and Gary Kurtz (producer of the first two “Star Wars” movies) in trying to get into production an animated feature based on “The Spirit” In that piece, which you can read here: http://herocomplex.latimes.com/uncate… I spoke of a pencil test “trailer” for the our proposed film that was made by Bird along with several classmates from Cal Arts, most of whom were working at Disney at the time. Quite a few people who read the article contacted me about seeing the film. I did have it on an old VHS, but it was deep in storage at the time plus as I did not really own the film, I told them they would have to look elsewhere to find a copy. Later, I found the VHS and put it aside. Recently Andrea Fiamma, an Italian journalist writing on the subject for the website Fumettologica,” asked again if the film could be seen. As it is a small piece of animation history, I’ve decided to post it here.
