Look Around You turns 10

Robert Popper and Peter Serafinowicz's wonderful mock-educational-film-parody BBC2 show "Look Around You" celebrated its 10th anniversary this week. Robert writes,

We had a fantastic night at the BFI in London, which showed all 8 eps back to back. The amazing Jonathan Ross hosted the evening, and our brill director, Tim Kirkby, joined us for a fun Q and A. It was a really touching, lovely event full of our old crew members and Look Around You aprreciators. Thanks all for coming. It meant a lot to us.

Anyway, Peter and I made a new short especially for the evening. So, here it is for everyone else. Hope you like our ‘Intermission Film’…

Congratulations, Robert and Peter! I raise a glass of sulphagne to toast your achievement. Also an interview for Boing Boing with Peter and Robert on the occasion of "Look Around You" DVD release.

Thants.

Movies from an Alternate Universe

I simply love these. There is not a single one that I would not go to see - even if I wouldn't see the "original" version. All artwork (brilliantly) created by Peter Stults [details at bottom of post] found via Behance.

This is from the site:

Awhile back a friend of mine forwarded me a site (http://hartter.blogspot.com/2009/11/misc.html)where an artist had made posters of films that, title wise, we were familiar with, but there was a slight difference; they were remade as if they belonged to a different era or a different genre, the name of the movie was there, but the actors were different, the style was different, and I loved the concept. So I went forward with this theme; what if movies we were all familiar with were made a different slice of time? Who would be in it? Who would direct it? So here we are...

Stop SOPA of the day

An important reminder from blackout participant The Oatmeal of all the wonderful things at stake in sitting idly by while SOPA/PIPA are allowed to pass.

Look it up.

I shall remain silent

Several film-goers in Liverpool demanded a refund after seeing award-winning throwback film The Artist because they were “unaware that The Artist was a silent film.” Patrons of the Odeon Liverpool One reportedly asked for their money back upon realizing the film contains no spoken dialog and is presented on a smaller screen. The Artist, which just landed 12 BAFA nominations after picking up a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture (Comedy/Musical), pays homage to the silent-era films of the 20s. A Daily Telegraph source says Odeon Liverpool One ushers are now required to ask paying customers walking into The Artist if they are aware the film is silent.

School has student arrested for burping in class

via Daily What by Cheezburger Network

A lawsuit filed against Cleveland Middle School in Allbuquerque alleges that a 13 year old student was arrested and sent to a youth detention facility without due process for for “burping audibly” in class


The 13-year-old’s parents were not notified, according to the lawsuit, and he was also suspended for the rest of the school year without being given a chance to refute the allegations.

"Criminalizing of the burping of a thirteen-year-old boy serves no governmental purpose,” reads a passage from the suit. “Burping is not a serious disruption, a threat of danger was never an issue."

In fact, he was given a risk assessment test at the detention center and scored a 2 on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being “extremely dangerous."

he suit goes on to note a separate incident wherein the school accused the boy of selling marijuana to classmates because he had $200 in his pocket. The kid claimed he was going shopping after school, but was still forced to strip to his skivvies “while five adults watched."

He was not charged with a crime in either incident.

Aspokeswoman for  Albuquerque Public Schools declined to comment.
