The Schwarzenegger Trilogy: three short hand-drawn, highlighter-coloured films by visual artists Jimmy Thompson and Harry McGowan celebrating the Schwarzenegger ‘oeuvre’

The first video ‘5 4 3 2…’ is a series of continuous hollywood explosions edited into a simple beat.

The second ‘Galleria’ is a cut from Terminator 2 which is one of my favorite scenes from any movie.

The third ‘come on… get down’ is a original gangsta rap with lyrics provided by Arnold himself and music created by Harry McGowan

Monty Python haven’t made a film together since The Meaning of Life in 1983. This should make up for that:

Their next film, A Liar’s Autobiography, is an animated 3D movie based on the memoir of the late Python member, Graham Chapman, who died in 1989 at the age of 48.

The film will use Chapman’s own voice – from a reading of his autobiography shortly before he died of cancer – and entertainment channel EPIX announced today that the film will be released in spring 2012 in both 2D and 3D formats.

John Cleese, who met Chapman at Cambridge University, has recorded new dialogue which will be matched with Chapman’s voice, captured long ago and Michael Palin will voice Chapman’s mother and father.

Terry Gilliam plays various roles. Among the original Python group, only Eric Idle has not become involved, though Timlett said the filmmakers are “working on” him.

If you have ten minutes to spare at some point in the day, check out this 2000 Oscar-winning animation by Michaël Dudok De Wit.

Masterfully understated, heartbreaking stuff.

Warm Signal (2010): a strange and beautiful abstract motion graphics animation by German digital artist Silke Sieler.

Concept: A short abstract movie dealing with nature and maritime creatures, metamorphosis and transformation – it connects art and science. Strong emphasis on sound, related to the idea of visual music.

Full screen recommended. Enter the miasma.
