Burberry Plaid Is Camouflage For Invading Aesthete Armies

Speaking of art...

Art #1

This painting is used as a centerpiece in Andrei Tarkovsky's Solaris. Which is right now in the running with Kurosawa's Ikiru as the best pre-2005 movie that I have seen so far in this year. There were moments in Solaris that were heavenly (how else can I describe some of the scenes?).

Also the movie's conclusion quotes Rembrandt's The Return of the Prodigal Son.
Though the painting was the creation of a Dutch artist it seems to have become part of Russia's cultural heritage, probably because it is on display in St. Petersburg's Hermitage Musuem.

Penguins Like Bays

OK, in the Blogwatch post the name of any blogger spammer, and then we'll take this shopping list to Blogger and ask for takeout.

OK, enough grade school style mob threats... (breathe deep, sneeze, take my meds, now breathe deep, okay I'm peaceful now.)

This blog is suppossed to be about art so I'll start rolling out some art stuff from around the web, so make sure you comment about the stuff.

So to start everything here's an article written by Michael Bay for the Onion (if you believe it really is Bay then Superman is going to get a drum set, live drums.)

Though watch out, the langauge is quite a bit blue.

Blog Watch

Just recently some comapany made a commercial comment on the Black Balloons post. The same sort of people who ship spam into my inbox. This is a warning that it might happen on your blogs as well, also I'm asking the members of MI and their friends to be on the lookout for this kind of crap.

I've deleted the offender's comment forever (which is a good thing). But I caught the perp's liscence number before he got away, frangy93tslando.

The name seems to be nothing more than computer generated gibberish, and if anybody can find a way to counterspam the pervert than be my guest.
