We’ve covered Frank Miller’s ‘300′ on this blog several times over the course of the last few months. I still find it hard to believe within myself, that ‘300′ is one of Frank Miller’s works that I don’t own or have ever read. But even with that in mind, I just know that this is going to be one helluva amazing movie going experience. Dude, it’s Frank Miller! ‘Nuff said!
Ok enough of the fan-boy ramblings - though I do guarantee you will be warbling like a fan-boy when you see the new trailer. Check it out here folks! (Oh, and you gotta love Nine Inch Nails’ ‘Just Like You Imagined’ playing in the background! Well, I sure as hell did!)

Nine Inch Nails will be releasing the forthcoming live DVD ‘Beside You In Time’ on Feb 27, 2007. The DVD will be released in standard DVD, HD-DVD and BLU-RAY formats. Director Rob Sheridan comments: “Personally I consider the high-def versions of this release to be the definitive versions, since the project revolved around the idea of doing it all in HD. But even so, the standard DVD is really nice, and looks awesome on a standard-definition TV. We were able to get Dolby Digital Stereo, Dolby Digital 5.1, and DTS 5.1 audio on the standard DVD, and they all sound great.”

Where The Wild Things Are filming in Australia. Where are the wild things? On the Mornington Peninsula, as the first shots of secretive big-budget film Where The Wild Things Are reveal.
I gotta tell you - I love Slipknot. Take away all the chaos, the masks, the gimmicks and you have a damn fine band and a band offering something new to the world of Metal and harder edged music. I mean, can you name me any other Metal act that is a nine-piece and/or features percussionists as part of their repetoire? And besides, the band’s last album ‘Volume 3: The Subliminal Verses’ is an absolute classic slab of modern and innovative Metal music.
But behind the mystery and the masked faces, lies an incredibly volatile and intense band that has managed to survive with no line-up changes in close to a decade. Quite an accomplishment with a nine-piece outfit.
‘Voliminal: Inside the Nine’ is Slipknot’s ambitious new DVD shot by percussionist M. Shawn Crahan, a.k.a. Clown. Crahan trawled through over 300 tapes culling snippets of mayhem from Slipknot’s monumental album and tour of the last couple of years. I can only begin to imagine how draining and exhaustive such a project would be to undertake but when all is said and done, it’s all rather slapstick, somewhat disjointed and comes no where near in capturing the underbelly of what it must be like to be in Slipknot. I would have loved to have seen more footage from the making of the ‘Subliminal Verses’ album than the monotony of on-stage snippets present here. Director Crahan should have taken inspiration from Trent Reznor and how he did this sort of (warts and all) project. Nine Inch Nail’s ‘Closure’ takes the correct approach in presenting an expose of life on the road and comes across as disturbing and morose. Slipknot’s take is rather mundane and even childish in places - and that left me feeling rather disappointed in what was a highly anticipated release by yours truly. I mean, a constant theme throughout is a flooded-toilet. Whoopee Doo!
