Ad Alarm . Absolut Mexico - Drunk Designers?

by Kris   ⋅   April 16, 2008   ⋅   Comment now

We took it from them (lots of land after the Mexican-American War), they want it back. Apparently, graphic designers for Absolut feel the same way. Sketchily distributing them in Mexico, oddly believing their neighbor would not catch wind of it, Viva Mexico! was the message, drunken or not. What do you think [...]

MUNCHIES [Homecookin'] . Meatless “Meaty” Tacos

by Kris   ⋅   October 17, 2007   ⋅   Comment now

I’m sure if you made these with actual animal flesh, you’d have a coronary right on the spot. I don’t do well with exact measurements or repeating routines (even if I’m following a baking recipe, I experiment and change it up often), so bear with me. I created this when I couldn’t find [...]

DVD REVIEW . The Living Coffin

Part of the cool thing about running Dreamlogic.net is that I get to see a bunch of films that I probably would never have thought of seeing, or known existed, if they hadn’t been sent my way. The latest such film is The Living Coffin, a 1950’s Mexican Horror-Western, complete with brave cowboys, ghosts, skeleton [...]

MOVIE REVIEW [SCREENER] . Nacho Libre

by Kris   ⋅   June 14, 2006   ⋅   Comments [10]

Nachooooo! If you loved Napoleon Dynamite, you’ve probably been waiting forever for Nacho Libre’s premiere. Written and directed by Jared Hess of ND, Nacho shares all the quirks of it’s predecessor with the same offbeat antics of a fantastic duo and upbeat message of “do the right thing”. Only in a Jared Hess film would [...]
