Chimera 2 Trailer

I've decided to commit myself into creating another film project, time permitting of course. So, here's a small teaser trailer for the forthcoming (read 'whenever it's ready') Chimera 2.

Critical Mass

Slightly off the IT related entries, I was just watching the BBC World Newsnight Review showing a special programme on the life and career of Michael Jackson.

The LOST Camera

Yet another rather sick and pointless email circulating at the moment shows photos claimed to be taken from a retrieved memory stick moments before the recent Air France crash.

Mass mail forwarding is a headache at the best of times, but this subject is quite frankly disgusting. Yet, the gullible still don't bother checking the validity and the mail, complete with photo attachments still gets circulated.

The woman seated on the left of the photo is Kate (Evangaline Lilly) siting next to U.S. marshal Edward Mars (Fredric Lane) who was critically injured and dies in the third episode, and to prove it;

Firstly, here we have the email attached photo:











Now, a clip I personally captured from the TV show in question, LOST:











Oh look! They're almost exactly the same, except the ABC channel logo on the bottom right of the image! What a surprise! (Dur)!

So, once again, PLEASE validate emails before making a complete fool of yourself and sending them off to all your friends and family!
