The Raid – Lee Hardcastle’s Claycat Cinema

A few weeks ago I saw a status update from a friend who mentioned that he had just seen the most awesome movie ever called The Raid: Redemption. I had never heard of it, but given his high praise, I went and watched it last night. If you’ve ever wanted to see hours of absolutely nothing but straight up fighting and over-the-top violence, this is the movie for you.

What’s even more exciting is that Lee Hardcastle, the mastermind behind Claycat’s THE THING, created his own claymation version of

Prometheus Trailer

Prometheus Trailer – Ridley Scott

Finally, after months of still images and brief interviews with Ridley Scott, we get a real… actual… Prometheus trailer. Ridley used the word epic for this film during some of his interviews, and based on what I’ve seen in this short trailer, I don’t think he was exaggerating. The trailer is full of fast cuts, stunning landscapes, and more science fiction goodness than you can shake a xenomorph tail at.

Game of Thrones: Buy a Replica of the Iron Throne

HBO’s Game of Thrones is one of the most popular TV shows and it’ll probably top the list of most downloaded shows this year.  Everyone at Unfinished Man loves the show and we’ve written quite a few posts related to the show.  If you’re a fan of the show and have money to burn, HBO is offering a life-sized replica of the infamous Iron Throne from the show, for a very affordable price of $30,000 plus $1,800 for shipping.

I say it’s affordable because of the money (gold/silver coins) you’d be saving by not going to war and collecting all the swords from you enemies and then commissioning artisans to make a throne out of them; because according to the books, the Iron Throne was constructed by Aegon I Targaryen from a thousand swords of enemies who surrendered and it took 59 days to construct.

Retro Television – Game of Thrones and Beyond… 1995 Style

I don’t watch a whole lot of television, but I am quite passionate about the few shows that I do watch. After all, I only watch the best of the best, so might as well go the distance with them.

There’s a problem with this whole, thing. You see, I’ve been watching these shows with the knowledge that I’m seeing them first. No, not before anyone else exactly… but still immediately, the moment that they’re available. Unfortunately, as I learned a mere two hours ago, the whole lot of them, from Game of Thrones to Breaking Bad, were all actually launched in the early 90s on minor family television networks in the United States. Crazy, right? Read on…
