10E2192: Inside Jaws

Creator Jamie Benning has just released his Inside Jaws filmumentary. Clear your calendar. Forget lunch. 2.5 hours of Jaws minutia. Awesome. If you are an uber-fan wait till June 20 to watch it - that will coincide with the original release date of Jaws... June 20, 1975.

"After 16 months of trawling, reading, spooling, skyping, chatting, interviewing, editing and refining, I am pleased to release Inside Jaws, A Filmumentary (2013). As with my other filmumentaries this is a completely unofficial and non profit making project made with a genuine affection for the film. Enjoy." - Jamie Benning

Vaughn's Anchor Jacket - yup.

10E2191: The Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy (Comes To An End)

Cornetto are gas-station ice cream cones in the UK. Ok, now read the wiki...

"The Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy (also known as the Blood and Ice Cream trilogy) is a series of comedy films directed by Edgar Wright, written by Wright and Simon Pegg, produced by Nira Park, and starring Pegg and Nick Frost. The films are Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and [upcoming -ed] The World's End. 

Each film in the trilogy is connected to a Cornetto ice cream flavour – both of the films released to date feature scenes in which one of the main characters purchases a Cornetto of the appropriate flavour. Shaun of the Dead features a red strawberry flavoured Cornetto, which signifies the film's bloody and gory elements..

...Hot Fuzz includes the blue original Cornetto, to signify the police element to the film...

 ...and The World's End will feature the green mint choc-chip flavour. The use of the three flavours/colours of Cornetto is a reference to Krzysztof Kieślowski's Three Colours film trilogy." [love Kieślowski'. seriously, the Dekalog - watch them. -ed.]

No idea how the alien invasion bit will work out but really looking forward to this... #wordplay #runninggags

10E2189: Nobody Ever Got Hurt On the Corners Of A Square Deal

Carhartt advertisement from 1952 I believe.

10E2188: John Wright - Foraging Handbooks

John Wright is a carpenter turned (professional) forager in the UK. Based in West Dorset (UK, not VT) he now writes for The Guardian on that subject, and in contrast to Euell Gibbons is an enthusiastic home-brewer as well. My bruv' put me onto his Hedgerow book above, but all three were created as part of a handbook series for River Cottage  - the farm/foodteaching facility headed by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall (perhaps best know in the USA for his Fish Fight campaign?).

10E2187: Brewland

Our friends Rough Water Films are filming a documentary about the craft beer movement and especially Vermont's place as a cradle and leader for that industry. They are having a fundraiser tomorrow at the Three Penny Taproom in Montpelier, VT so please come down to hear more about the project and share your stories. No cover charge - donations accepted.

Not only are they speaking to almost every big name in Vermont brewing, I believe there is also the historical element of Vermont's place in pre-Prohibition supply and a look to the future (e.g. University of Vermont testing hops for in-state production). Lots more... Follow along at https://www.facebook.com/Brewland or on the twitters @brewlandfilm.  No doubt there will be a Boston area event at some time too...

10E2185: Neko Case - The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You

As an album title, the new one from Neko Case "The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You" doesn't even scratch the top 25 of longest album titles ever. Like the idea of an album "trailer", sort of like the book trailers of recent years but make more sense. Nice AlphaBurlys!

"Concept and craft of a "fiction" trailer released as enticement for long-awaited new album by Neko Case. Fireworks are the real deal, shot from scratch at Neko's back field in Vermont. A blast. Director & Producer: Xan Aranda.com" - via vimeo
