Ok, so Gareth got all webby with his post yesterday:
The Tuesday Top Five: Anthropomorphic Animals in the Cinema Zoo
I say ‘webby’ cause it’s well known that having posts containing numbered lists, such as a Top 5, or ones tied to days of the week, such as Twitter’s Follow Friday, are a quick way to Internet Gold.
So jealous am I of Gareth, not just his fine baritone and pleasant demeanor, but now his Internet Gold – that I am forced to follow with my own gimmicky post. So here it is:
Worthwhile Web Wednesdays, (or WWW – get it? sigh…).
In which I present to you Dear Listener interesting little film stories I’ve found over the interwebs these last few days. Ok, are you sitting comfortably? Then let’s begin:
Wow, ‘Alien’ Artist H.R. Giger was asked to design the Batmobile? See the results:
- – -
I ask you – would you watch disaster movie 2012 if your seat was moving at the same time? As a fan of William Castle I would have to say yes:

- – -
Are you a filmmaker? Got a short film? Submissions for the Diesel Online Shorts Competition being accepted now – What’s your excuse?
Diesel Online Shorts Competition
- – -
If you’re a fan of the brilliant Wings of Desire – it’s now available on DVD and Bluray, (worth it for ‘The Falk’ alone, fans of the film will know what I mean):
- – -
Filmmakers: it’s another screening opportunity! Submit your films for the 2010 summer season of Rooftop Films:
Rooftop Films – Underground Movies Outdoors
- – -
And last, but not least of course, the always reliable Terry Gilliam on The Power of Imagination:
Terry Gilliam and the Power of Imagination
- – -
Ok, that’s it for now – by the way, there is no truth to the rumour that I didn’t have time to write a post this morning due to an emergency haircut and so assembled the above links from yesterday’s ‘TFT Facebook Page’ while I waited for a the stylist. No truth at all.
- – -
Wait a minute – now that I think of it – I should do these posts on Fridays. Then they can be ‘Jett Loe’s Patented Facebook Fridays’.
Ahhh, Internet Gold. I can practically see your shiny glint already.

In June we launched a call to action amongst young filmmakers to visually depict the growing epidemic of hunger in their communities. Now the entries are in and voting is to being this Friday, November 6th, 2009! Please take a moment and log onto http://www.gotspot.com/c.do?m=vc&cId=229 and vote for your favorite entry. Vote for the film that speaks to you and best reflects the growing epidemic of hunger in the US. On December 5, the top six (6) films with the highest number of online public votes will advance to the second and final round of judging which will be conducted by an esteemed panel of judges. Vote early, vote often and spread the word!
