Oi people - think before you click!Yesterday I got spammed to hell with messages linking to different variants of this image:
They can have slightly different graphics or contain different links but the message is always basically the same - go to this page and you'll receive 20 000

.
I have to ask the question - how dim do you have to be to fall for it?
Ok let's see - we have an image hosted on a profile that is 1 day old and asks you to visit a website with a strange url with a promise of a financial reward on an another website. How do you even imagine that would work? And now, of course, people start crying that their computers got infected with malware. Which is great - every genius who fell for this obvious phishing scam deserved it. I hope your shitty computer burns and you along with it.
I know this is a no-duh for 90% of people reading it but for the sake of the rest lets revise what we all should know about online phishig. And before you go all:
No, no you can't.

Opinions are a Dangerous thing: Art StylesThis isn't about narking on anyone no, infact this is just my own muses really! You could say this is a journal for ENCOURAGEMENT! *SHINES*
I find sticking to one style restrictive if you are a beginning/moderate artist! (even professionals I might say! though I can't speak for everyone)
Having a distinctive look on how your art is done and produced is understandable and its a desire to appear unique to the point some one can just SEE your work and instantly think 'Oh! that's Ten-days!' or something along the line. However, when you are trying to find who you are and what kind of art you are to produce, I recommend trying, well, a lot of different things! Different styles, mixing styles, different colouring techinque, brushes, tools, shading. Don't feel dependant on what you are already doing and don't feel pressured by people just for trying new things!
Push out of your comfort zone. Can't draw hands? don't avoid it! draw the heck out of them! (how else are you going to learn?)

It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

Movies...

by *Carlos-the-G, Sep 7, 2011, 9:51:18 AM
Journals / Personal

Since Australia has a movie industry the size of a fly's penis, we have to rely mostly on foreign movies, mainly from the U.S. and UK (since people find it oh-so-hard to read subtitles....).

One trend that I've noticed with movies coming out the U.S. is that there seems to be an awful lot of remakes lately.
Sure, you had the odd ones last century like The Thing, The Fly, King Kong (remade like 20 times), Frankenstein, etc, etc. However, now it seems that they don't even finish shooting a movie before they already start shooting the remake.

Seriously, Hollywood is really running out of ideas. I just heard they are making The Crow again... THE CROW!!! They've already made Conan too! And you know what? Now they've started remaking shit movies too!! Footloose... FUCKING FOOTLOOSE!!!!! WHY IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS SACRED WOULD YOU REMAKE FOOTLOOSE!!!! What's next?! Top Gun? Flashdance?! FUCKIN' BREAKIN' 2-ELECTRIC BOOGALOO WITH FUCKING VAN DAMME DRESSED IN LYCRA DOING SOME RETARD DANCE?!!

I reckon they should leave a movie at least 4-5 decades before they touch it again...

My theory is that some greedy capitalist studio executive fuck thinks to himself "Hey, you know what made us money a few years ago...?"

So instead of giving a new director or screenwriter a chance, they decide to remake the Police Academy series.

Money talks louder than thoughts.

P.S. I just found out that Hollywood is remaking one of my favourite French movies, "Tell No One", to be directed by Ben Affleck... Okay, nothing new here since Hollywood has been ripping off French (along from countless other countries) movies for over 50 years... BUT THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE MOVIES, YOU FUCKS!!! If Ben fucks this up like they fucked "Nikita" (fucking awesome in the French version, fucking awful in the U.S. version) I'm gonna wish him head cancer.

You probably wouldn't have liked the case of Quarantine then, remaking [REC] pretty much shot for shot. That and from what I can recall was actually released BEFORE REC in the States, even though REC was made first. And then there's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and its sequels...

The US film industry needs to realise that if they remake an awesome film from another country they're not going to make it better. And the Australian film industry...well, there are many Aussie films out there that are pretty decent but don't get the attention they deserve. What are we known for? Bloody Crocodile Dundee and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

(granted, Priscilla isn't too bad a watch, but you get what I mean) What sucks even more is that one of the reasons Australian movies have a hard time is probably because they can't compete with the copious amounts of money the US films put into promotions. There are exceptions to the rule of course, but do we ever have "blockbusters"?

And yes, remaking The Crow is complete and utter blasphemy.

~Sternguard Sep 7, 2011

Shh not so loud or they might hear you and actually do it!

*Carlos-the-G Sep 8, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Well, there has been a remake of Flashdance... and it was awesome!

See it here: [link]

~Violinanonymous Sep 7, 2011

I completely agree with you, sadly I do not go to the movies anymore because of this

*Carlos-the-G Sep 7, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I rarely watch movies from the U.S. now....

~Neo-Kaiser Sep 7, 2011

Why wouldn't you remake a bad movie? Make it more tolerant to watch.

and people have been saying that Ben is a fantastic director.

~digitalspiritx Sep 7, 2011

If it was lousy the first time then chances are it will still be lousy with a fresh coat of paint.

*Carlos-the-G Sep 7, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Because chances is that it won't be tolerable at all. It is done with target demographics in mind. A step by step marketing exercise.

~Neo-Kaiser Sep 7, 2011

I'd rather a remake be done with the intention of being better. There's been plenty of remakes, even for movies that weren't bad, that many people consider to be better then the original.

*s1naptic Sep 7, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

/agree

What really burns me is all the resurrected film/tv properties from 80's. I feel like Hollywood is taking my childhood and selling a zombified version of it back to me, with an inch-thick coat of varnish on it.

Bastards.

You hit the nail on the head though - it's all about money and being able to guarantee a 100%+++ return on investment with studio films. No risk involved with most of this crap (hell, it sold once, right?) and people still consume it anyway for reasons I don't entirely understand... Really sad, especially since a lot of truly creative screenwriters labor in obscurity while this goes on. Seriously, I went to film school for a couple of years and every student in my first-year screenwriting class wrote a screenplay by semester's end that was more interesting than 99% of the re-hatched turds that Hollywood dishes out year after year.
