Coming soon to a mess hall near you ...

The legendary Tim Burton and first-time Oscar-winning director Kate Bigelow team up for their first full-length feature film collaboration: The Corpse Bride in Iraq - a stunning visual experience and a gripping tale of black satin, rifle bouquets, and army fatigues.


The New York Times calls it "Remarkable" and the Washington Post gives it a good, old-fashioned, army salute.

Coming soon to a mess hall near you.

Thanks, Adam, for this fortuitous find.

Well, this takes a lot of effort.


Apparently, the newest fad in Save The Date invites is to make an "EPIC Wedding Trailer" - essentially, tell your guests to "save the date" via a (YouTube) video.

This one is (supposedly) the best video to date.

I have to say, this is well done. But, I find it only really picks up around the 2:30 mark - maybe that's because they should have edited about 2 minutes out?

Check it out:



(I know. It's off-centre. But this is as good as I could get it. Don't blame Jeff and Erin.)

What do you think?

Horribly tacky? Yes. Lacking taste? Most definitely. Maybe a little funny? Ummmm...yes.

I have to admit, I found myself laughing more than a couple of times. Maybe I'm losing my edge.
