I was reading a magazine when I saw this ad for a Cole Haan shoe. The shoe was pretty nifty-looking so I checked the Cole Haan website. That was a week or two ago. Now, I’m seeing Cole Haan ads on some of the websites I go to. It’s just a small illustration of how an integrated marketing system works. You can just imagine ads in trimedia resulting in a visit to a product’s website which is then recorded and triggers ads related to the product when you surf, use email, or chat. And it could also be the other way around, you could surf, email, or chat, and mention a product and it triggers ads shown or spam sent to you. Now who has such a scope? One company comes to mind right away: Google.
As we settled in for the movie, in walks to applause none other than the man, Quentin Tarantino, himself! He gave a short introduction, punctuated with jokes and laughter, to the film. He then settled in with the audience, which is composed mainly of budding filmmakers (Quark Henares among them) and film buffs, to watch the film.
Death Proof is about a bunch of women from the show industry being offed serially (or should I say in sets?) by a deranged stuntman on his “deathproofed” muscle car. As expected, it’s full of action, including a longish car chase involving not one but two muscle cars. And, of course, there’s an exaggerated amount of blood and gore. In addition the film is full of intentional bad filmmaking. It’s an obviously synthesized crap movie. Which makes it quite enjoyable for what it is.
Rating: 3/5
I was just surfing around when I chanced upon this gem of a vid. So hilarious it made my day. LOL.

Now you’re gracefully falling away
Hey thanks

Saw a car in front of me pass right over a kitten. Thankfully by some miracle it didn’t get hurt. And it immediately scampered to the side of the road. Lucky kitten. Must have been quite a scare though.
UPDATE: My brother has a stranger experience, he saw kittens dropping off from under a van in front of him every hundred meters or so. Each kitten, after hitting the pavement, safely scampered off to the side of the road. They must have nestled in the spare tire well or something.
