The film is about an extraterrestrial race living in slum-like conditions here on earth, no body likes em, but it seems like they have no place to go, pretty interesting concept with a real world message.

Alive in Joburg is about alien refugees in South Africa, mech wearing, telekinetic, tentacle mouthed aliens that is. If you like Special forces, special effects, mech armor and a film with a message, then you’ll enjoy this.

On another note I’ve been doing some online shopping, something I have never done. I was looking for props for a project I’m working on, but my head started to hurt after seeing the options available, so I’m just gonna hunt what I need down on foot. I bought some DVDs instead.

I bought three DVDs in total, first is one of my favorite movies of all time, Army of Darkness. Never get tired of this cheesy, horror comedy.

Next I got a movie I saw a lot when I was younger, loved it but haven’t seen it in a very long time, The Return of the Living Dead, another horror comedy, great costumes and props in this movie.

And the last DVD I got for the reason I can never remember properly, I know the story, I know what it’s about, it’s like the specifics get wiped from my mind, I guess that’s a good thing, keeps the movie fresh, it’s Blade Runner.

Turns out they were part of a viral campaign for the movie “Hellboy II,” looks like there was an alternate reality game going on as well, wish I had of known about that one earlier.

Anyway if you haven’t already you can check out the not so mysterious videos below.

You know why I love his series? it’s his attention to detail, everything I watch of his gets my brain clicking, the sound effects, the little ideas that just don’t seem to make it into Hollywood movies. I really can’t wait for more from Manbird12000.

Below are a few featurettes showing some of the concept animations involved in his feature length film project.

I haven’t seen Bad Taste in awhile but I used to watch it a lot as a kid, mainly for the reason that it was shot largely around where I grew up, it felt special to see my hang outs in a movie.

The alien ship is actually gear homestead, I used to skip school sometimes and hang out there eating passion fruit that grew around the house, along with more rebelious behavior. I used to walk along those cliffs a lot as well, pretty much every scene in the movie I’ve been to.

Just another movie I’ve gotta watch again, though I know I won’t be disappointed in it like I was with rewatching The Unholy, Bad Taste really doesn’t exist to impress it’s here for an experience.

I’m sure most will recognize the clip below, for me it’s the only scene I remember.

I think I’m going to have to watch the original before I watch the upcoming remake. I just hope the remake doesn’t have a lame ending like “Signs” or the “War of The Worlds” remake did.

The “Great Dark” is about a man’s salvation as he tries to understand the purpose of these beings that have covered the earth and shut off all sunlight and it’s life giving energy. His struggle to keep his family intact as he deals with the fatal mistakes of the past and the catastrophic events unfolding in front of him. – Youtube Description.
