If It’s Black & White It Isn’t Pornography, It’s Art!

Posted in Animation, Movies, tagged Arts, Blackadder, EadweardMuybridge, History, humor, nude, People, Photography, Pornography, Victorian, Zoopraxiscope on June 15, 2012 | 6 Comments »

According to Blackadder the only thing Dr. Johnson’s Dictionary is good for is looking-up rude words (how true). So, when Victorian Era photographer and film-maker Eadweard Muybridge invented Bullet Time it was inevitable he would use his remarkable new-fangled equipment to capture images of naughty ladies (and a few game gentlemen too)!

It’s old. It’s black and white, so it’s Art

*Warning* Adult Content.

Okay, he did a few other amazing and groundbreaking things too…

Storm Corrosion: Self Titled (2012 Album)

Reblogged from Adrenochrome Music:

Here as promised.

As with any Supergroup or side project involving big names there is the added pressure to succeed or at least, you'd hope, sound good. Metallica and Lou Reed failed at even this, most pedestrian of accomplishments. Chickenfoot, Black Country Communion and Adrenaline Mob are all concurrent bands among many that have stared down the barrel of Supergroup hype.

Reblogged from World Weaver Press:

Special fairy tale edition of our usual quick round-up of news and factoids, articles and more that struck our fancy, tickled our interest, and had us scratching our heads. For readers, writers, and genre fans of any form.

A cache of 500 folk tales were discovered in Germany recently, many of which have not been a part of our previously documented understanding of the folk tradition in Europe.

Read more… 560 more words, 1 more video

A brilliant little film, such exciting news about the new cache of Fairy Tales and LOADS more Fairy stuff on its way!
