Steel Toe Studios - Hand-forged buckles and belts

3 people recommended this item

Description

Not only are these belt buckles cool (and hot) but they're reasonably priced - two things that do not often go hand in hand or even buckle in belt. I need these for my next movie.

Christopher Locke's Heartless Machine - Modern Fossils

First to recommend

Description

I was on a film shoot about a month back and a couple of the production assistants, film students actually whose combined age barely approximated my own found the remains of an 8-track cassette and were totally mystified. What the heck is this they asked, some sort of data storage thingy for some old computer? Ah youth.

The Swinging Sticks: Edmund Scientific

First to recommend

Description

Like the man said, swing softly and carry a big stick...or something like that. The constant, fluid motion of the revolving sticks creates an almost hypnotic effect that your friends, family, and clients will want to watch for hours. The perpetual motion illusion was created by an electrical engineer and designer to baffle and amaze all onlookers.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

For most of the world a graphic novel is a comic book by any other name. But don't short change the genre. Some of the most interesting writing going on today is masquerading as "comics".

Created by Alan Moore, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, is his series about a crime-fighting team composed of characters from Victorian-era literature: Allan Quatermain, the Invisible Man, Captain Nemo. In Black Dossier (out 11/14), he ups the ante further, imagining a 1950s-era Britain where fictional spies and suspicious figures like James Bond, Emma Peel, and Harry Lime all coexist — though their interests don’t necessarily coincide.

Much of Black Dossier is told through sequential panels and word balloons — except for the interludes of typeset text: secret government files, personal memoirs, even the first scene of a suppressed play by William Shakespeare. (Don’t worry — there’s plenty of violence, nudity, and naughty words, too, and the last chapter is in
3-D.) The more text you’re willing to read, the more the story reveals, and the more English literature you already know — from Orlando to 1984 — the more surprises Black Dossier has in store for you.
