Guineasaurus Rex

We watched an old episode of South Park that I hadn't seen today. It was a spoof of Cloverfield except instead of the monster there were giant guinea pigs dressed in whimsical outfits destroying the town. Guineasaurus Rex was my favorite.

Arnie tribute

We've been chronologically watching the films of Arnie for the past few weeks. Yesterday we entered the Schwarzenegger renaissance with a Conan double feature. The best is yet to come with Commando and Total Recall, et al but out of his earliest films I have to say that Stay Hungry surprised me the most. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it very much but it grew on me over a few days.

Starting things off...

I had the idea a while back to create my own version of Dr. Claw's office. The idea is that he's so obsessed with Inspector Gadget that he sits in his office all day, every day watching footage of him on his monitor system and obsessing over how he's going to get him. I want the place to have a vague 80's feel, hence the bulky tube TVs and chunky old computer. I tried to make the lamp look retro and think that it mostly succeeds due to its needless complexity (which seems to be a hallmark of some 80's designs) but it was hard to find reference of old office desk lamps so it can probably be improved upon. I'm also debating adding something that will give the place a personalized feel, like a monogrammed coffee mug or maybe even a pack of cigarettes; something to humanize our good doctor. It definitely needs a lot more work but it's slowly getting finished. Surprisingly (not really) I couldn't find very many good screenshots of Dr. Claw's office as you can see in the images below.
