To support the war, we here at StuffWeLike have created a channel dedicated to remembering the fight against the Covenant. Stay tuned for another insiders look called “Diorama” – launching September 14.
Amorousness is without a doubt the most artistic film ever aired on StuffWeLike.com’s Original Shows. It’s actually the first film on StuffWeLike.com that I didn’t have any personal involvement. It’s also the first of several films in which we hope to create a bold and new direction with the ‘Original Shows’ (for you old SWL fans, Our Movies) on The Pipeline. We’ll reveal more information about these upcoming films as the productions on them begin. After you watch Amorousness, read the Director’s comments.

John-Erik Reese (Director): “This film is essentially a poem told with images. Much like an Ingmar Bergman or Jean-Luc Godard film, my short film takes a simple idea and a central theme as the necessary foundation, thus, making the two components revolve around the story completely.
My approach for the short was to make it ambiguous and anomalous for the motive that a simple thing (whatever it may be in life) is always much more intricate in its very own unique way. This short film is based on existential philosophy dealing with inner conflict, vanity, self-existence, and most prominently disconnected love.
I hope that everyone who views this may perhaps interpret the meaning his/her own way (as it was meant to be) and also may consider that images might perhaps appear as a meaning of its own (ex. Fire is seen in the beginning of the film as a symbol of love’s great fuel. Water, which is seen later, is a symbol for the love’s cooling or simply putting out the flames, which essential relates to the two figure characters).
Amorousness is, for all intents and purposes, filled with meaning and promising interpretation, the only aspect it requires is the initial thought.”

Microsoft continues the Halo 3 propaganda with several other sweepstakes:
If there has ever been a doubt about what Marvel will do next with their “left-over” super heroes, put all your doubts to rest. Apparently Marvel can still make an amazing piece of work that will both please fans and general movie goers. Unlike Ghost Rider, Elektra, and all the other crappy super hero films that Marvel has put out in recent years, Iron Man looks to be the most amazing film to come out of Marvel’s vaults since the original Spider-Man film back in 2001! The worst part about the Iron Man movie is that we’ll have to wait till next year to see it in theaters.
Watch and drool of the trailer RIGHT NOW!

RedOctane’s President and co-founder Kai Huang said earlier this week, “There won’t be online initially for the Wii, but we are working with Nintendo to see how we can get those features in.”Seemingly with no online play Nintendo gets screwed yet again. Thankfully RedOctane contacted 1up.com and clarified the situation. Apparently there will not be any downloadable songs, at first, but there will be online play starting on the game’s launch.
This is only one example of the many that prove to Nintendo that it needs to create a harddrive for the Wii. 512 megabytes of internal Flash memory isn’t enough to store a good amount of content on.
I WANNA ROCK!
[Update #2]
FLV playback is now working in the player. Sorry about that! All the clips below are now playable.
[Update]
I’ve uploaded high quality files of the NGH 2 Diaries.
It appears that any file that was FLV is having some playback issues. We’re working on fixing this problem in the player.

It’s been a long time since I last talked about The Next-Generation of Heroes on StuffWeLike! This series was the first film StuffWeLike.com ever made! That’s how classic this series is.
Back in the summer of August 2003 filming began on a set of films that took almost a year to complete. After that we released a DVD with tons of special features. Then about a year after the DVD filming began for the sequel and eventually wrapped up in spring 2006.
The Next-Generation of Heroes has and for ever will have an impact on my life and since it is 100% tied to StuffWeLike.com, I’ve dedicated an entire show to it. This collection features potentially everything ever made available and many things that were only shown on the DVD!
