Where have I been?! Totally missed this brilliant OneRepublic tune.
I must have watched/listened to this video a dozen times, and it cracked me up EVERY time. Not sure that says anything good about my sense of humor, but when Ozzy Man Reviews the gymnastics routine of Katelyn Ohashi, I’m ROFL.
“She’s powering up, gymnast activated…Flippy one, flippy two, flippy 3, 4, 5–F*ck yes! The dopamine richter scale is off the charts already….She made that look piss easy….F*ck me dead!”
BALLiSTIC is a science fiction/action short film written & directed by Ryan Connolly. Set in the near future, BALLiSTIC drops viewers into a violent episode involving a young woman (played by Hannah Ward) being pursued by a “bunch of armed bad guys.” Typical enough, but Connolly’s judicious use of flash-backs communicates just enough about the history and psychological makeup of the heroine to keep me interested to the end. I really liked BALLiSTIC, and hope Connolly continues the story.
Volume 1 of Rakka begins a thrilling, visceral story I dearly hope gets completed. Coming out of Oats Studios, directed by Neill Blomkamp and starring Sigourney Weaver, this short film hooked me quick and never let go. Great ride.
