Werner Herzog’s plans to recreate the Chauvet Caves in France…outside of the caves.

I can't even make this stuff up anymore:

(click here to see the video series in which I play Herzog)


There is a plan to re-create the cave outside in some sort of what I called the Disneyland version. Since nobody’s going to be allowed in the cave, they will replicate the entire cave. They’ll replicate the paintings on the walls. And there was even a plan to re-create, in our imagination, the scent inside of the cave. Which means maybe some carrion of rotting cave bears, some fire, some … resins. I’ve found a master perfumer who fantasize[s] wildly about how the odor may have been 32,000 years ago. However, when you are entering there, it is slightly humid. There’s no significant traces of any smell of anything significant in there.

Liberty Call.



Spent several hours aboard this ship yesterday morning for work. She's 1 of the 2 remaining Liberty ships that are seaworthy, out of a fleet of 2700 made. They were designed & built--all of them-- within 12-18 months. All for the American War effort in WW 2. Can you imagine that undertaking today? This one was made in 52 days, I think, & made 11 trips between Britain & Normandy on-and-following D-Day. Each ship was designed to last 5 years. This one returned to Normandy for the 50th anniversary of D-Day, the only ship present for the original event that returned. As a former World War II junkie (in 8th grade), I enjoyed every minute of it, even when just standing around, with the ship rocking back and forth.

I played a Morse Code operator, was instructed by one of the ship's current custodian, and helped a certain tall, blonde Australian actress send a message in one scene. It was fun.

Look for Hemingway & Gelhorn on HBO sometime next year.

How To Summon MOTHRA !

Performed by Will and Ian of the now-defunct band CALL TO RIOT at the Sapphire Supper Club in Orlando, Florida in 2001.

Text below courtesy of everything2.com :

Summoning Mothra, 2001 from Will Maierica on Vimeo.



(also available here on Youtube).

In the Japanese monster movie classic Mothra, the title character (a giant moth) is summoned to battle by the haunting song of the Alilenas, the Barbie doll-sized priestesses of the titanic creature.

Now you can use the lyrics provided below (in Malaysian, Japanese, and English) to summon Mothra to your side! Mothra comes in very handy during tense departmental meetings, performance reviews, and final exams.

Malaysian:

Mosura ya, Mosura
Dongan kasakuyan
Indoo muu
Rosuto uiraadoa,
Hanba hanbamuyan
Randa banunradan
Tounjukanraa
Kasaku yaanmu

Japanese:

Mosura ya Mosura
Tasukete yo te yobeba
Toki o koete
Umi o koete
Nami no yo ni yatte kuru
Mamorigami
Mosura ya Mosura
Yasashisasae wasure
Arehateta
Hito no kokoro
Inorinagara utau
Ai no uta

English:

Mothra O Mothra
If we were to call for help
Over time
Over sea
Like a wave you'd come
Our guardian angel
Mothra O Mothra
Of forgotten kindness
And ruined spirits
We pray for the people's
Spirit as we sing
This song of love.

On the Front Page of FunnyOrDie right now in video "Friday Feeling".

On the F.O.D. front page as of today, shot a few weeks ago in L.A. Here's a direct link as well.

Lots of fun doing this "LAW & Order-meets-NIGHT GALLERY" video for FunnyOrDie & T.G.I. Fridays. Great chance to work with Scott Rodgers again from my old I.O. West group ROBERTO ALOMAR plus all the new faces. Thanks again to Ryan Perez at FOD for having me aboard.



By the way, that cake I ate at the end was delicious!
