I'll dog-ear here.
Underworld is a truly abysmal film. Its almost as though it was written in 15 minutes then handed over to casting, costume and SFX to make.

Indeed but spooky bear this in mind it has kate beckinsale in it and she is the sexiest woman that dear sweet god made :E shyeah boyeee. If I ever saw her in real life I would grab hold of her leg and hump it like a dog all the time shouting "kate I wanna party with youuuuuuuu!!!!!"

Just collected my brand new 84x dual Quad core Cray supermacomputer from the shop. Its still in its box. Given that I have had Adobo CS2 and 3 still in their sealed boxes for about a year while I carry on using CS1, it may well be another year or so before I decide to take the plunge and start using the new machine.
Things I need to do:
1. Get Dreamweaver (Doesn't come with standard versions of CS2&3)
2. Get some font management (anybody got suggestions, recommendations?)
3. Transfer the shit from my old computer to new one.
4. Download Wacom, epson scanner and printer drivers. (Find out new drivers don't exist and end up spending additional 3k on all new peripherals... which is why I hate upgrading)
5. Download Raw converter
6. Establish internet connection, email accounts... make detailed notes about all the setting requirements for just about everything.
7. Work out if I am still allowed to use the idisk service that they still charge me for yet which wont work properly any more (who do you complain to these days? Old days, Apple would help. New days, Apple 'Genius' will just say "You have to buy 'mobile me' now, you have to buy new this and that now, you have to buy your way out of incompatibilities.
8. Apple fucking suck. Hard.

Underworld is, as chossy pointed out, all about Kate Beckinsale in skin tight leather. I'd forgo plot and action all together and just look at a repeated loop of her walking across a room, possibly stopping to bend over and pick something up off the floor, then walking back again for 90mins if pushed.
2's shit as well, but she gets her tits out. Thank the lord.

Damn. I decided to switch the sound off and draw, trusting my peripheral vision to alert me to any female arses in tight shiny latex. She sure has a fine pair of buttocks. 2 followed 1 so I kept it on and kept drawing, but I never saw her breasts, just that really lovely arse in super tight shiny latex. Its a really nice arse when encased like that, in tight shiny latex. Rolling like a couple of waltzing piglets whenever she crossed the floor. All tight and shiny. Latex. Arse. Lovely that.
- Is she Richard Beckinsale's spawn?Horp
- it might just be a bit of side-boob, to quote family guy.kelpie
- yes, she is.kelpie
- I could send you some pictures of her house if you want, I took them the last time I was round there in my tree house across the streetkelpie
- ...the streetkelpie
- Do you have any of her arse? could to 'shop it if not?Horp
- could YOU, not could 'to'.Horp

Additional. If I see fucking Bill Nighy, being Bill fucking Nighy in one more fucking film that thinks its 'great' to have Bill Nighy 'just being Bill' in it, I swear to god I will fucking punch an innocent bystander in the cock out of sheer frustration.

Has anybody got any suggestions for font management apps for whatever is the latest Apple OS?

Bamberforsyth can't be a real place, can it? It has to be a made up "english" sounding place from a work of fiction such as "I, Cuntfordshire"

It was Cordiant not Cosset they sold to, back in 2000... that was my last full time design appointment.
- did you just wake up one morning as an illustrator/artist, or were you doing it all along?magnificent_ruin
- No, I literrally woke up and decided one day. I had no illustration work or experience at all.Horp
- a true "calling"magnificent_ruin
- Not really, I'm waking for the thought that means I can leave it behind now, like I did design.Horp

^ The two founders, Keith Bamber and Nigel Forsyth, went into the Cordiant buy out and lasted about 6 months. Then they realised they'd made a huge mistake and mutinied, setting up 35Communications vicariously through Lee Hoddy, the CD of BF and Thom Someone, the marketing director.
From what I know (I had left by then and was working in Amsterdam) they had to go through lots of legal wrangling with Cordiant to unpick the terms of the deal and divide up values, and only when they had finally settled the contractual dispute were they able to announce that they were part of 35.
The thing was, a number of ex-Newell&Sorrell people were at BF, and we were all consulted about the Cordiant deal and we all, unanimously warned against it, but with these buyout opportunities come huge, mostly bogus, incentives for massive amounts of cash in the tens of millions and greed takes over. Nobody ever considers that there is no way you will meet the targets being set, its like a big elegeant business con.

Nigel Forsyth is simply an awesome name - as in, prototypically (borderline phony sounding) British.

^ Sorry about that, but I suddenly became acutely aware of what an elitist and cliquey place the blog thread is and I thought I'd start a second one for anyone who felt they were not welcome in there.
Its a great failure so far, let me tell you that.

I, for one, welcome the 'new blog' with open arms...
It's like... getting a Chipotle where you have a Qdoba...- like getting a Burger King where you have a McDonalds...NotByHand

Also, I am not oblivious to the fact that I overpost and write the old fashioned pre-twittickle way, ie more than ten words at a time, and I am aware that it drains some people of the will to post, so I thought if I just have my own thread I can yammer away and it wont be to the detriment of anyone.
- 'twittickle'? I think I changed my mnd half way through writing Twitter lolHorp

I a beginning to feel the same way about Shepard Fairey as I do about Bill Nighy.
