Trailer: Rango

// July 2nd, 2010 // No Comments » // Movies

Rango is about a household lizard who becomes lost in the desert. The trailer doesn’t show us much more then a hot and bothered amphibian zigzagging around in a shrieking panic; but the animation is just stunning. From Rango’s Hawaiian shirt to the guitar playing amigo-owls: the visuals look gorgeous. Overall, we have high hopes for Rango; after all, Depp will be reunited with director Gore Verbinski (Pirates of Carribbean). This dynamic duo notwithstanding, there is reason to be nervous. These days, Pixar and Dreamworks are the big players in animated films. But the only film from Nickolodeon Pictures which has developed any kind of revenue is Bolt.

Rango hits theaters March 4, 2011.

Adidas Originals: Jeremy Scott

// July 2nd, 2010 // No Comments » // Fashion

Jeremy Scott is at it again. For the upcoming Fall/Winter 2010 season, Jeremy Scott, in collaboration with Adidas, will reveal the new Leather Wings 2.0 high tops. In his previous Adidas line, the wings were connected to the laces. This was interesting; Scott has always had a knack for toying with the classic look of great sneakers. In this newest version, though, the wings have been moved to the heal. Why? So they look that much better. The only colorway seen until now has been classic white/black, but knowing the extravagant Jeremy Scott, there are most likely some flashy colors on the way. Scott no doubt gives Adidas Originals by Originals Collection a rush of energy with the signature wings and lace locks. They will be availbe later this year.

Just keep running, like the little girl from Forrest Gump said. Maybe I can hide up there in the chicken coop. But the air – it’s so thick; and if I just had a moment’s breathe. And as you start to slow by the bridge, you hear the sound of the giant footsteps return. Panicked, you realize that you have no option but to jump. You take the plunge; but the giant follows. It’s a highway duel, and now, your only option is a dangerous one. You take the high road; and from that point on it was all adrenaline. And space was removed from time until the chase became a vacuum of thought and sound. Will the giant make his move, running away in laughter?
