Link roundup

1. Read about Shin Sang-ok:

(1926 - 2006) was a Korean movie writer, director and producer, who studied film in Japan and returned to South Korea, where he gained fame and became the uncontested leader of the film industry in the 1960s, in a time when regulations on the industry limited other studios. In the 1970s under the Fourth Republic of South Korea, the film industry was even further limited, which lead to Shin's studio being closed. Things went from bad to worse, when "the Orson Welles of South Korea" was kidnapped by request of Kim Jong Il, the son of North Korea's dictator, Kim Il Sung. The reason? Kim Jong Il wanted the nation's film industry to promote the virtues of the Korea Workers' Party to a world-wide audience.

He eventually escaped and went on to make a movie with Hulk Hogan. Via.

Brutal Legend comic strip by Scott Campbell (link roundup)

Scott Campbell posted a comic strip celebrating Brutal Legend's release.

And a few more links:

1. Too creepy to post here, ads by DraftFCB for Chronic’art Magazine. One features a bloody-handed man stroking a rabbit, and the other stars maggots pouring out of a corrupted laptop.

2. Disney is going to overhaul its lousy mall stores and look to the Apple stores for inspiration. Here's a few simple tips. First, put something more enticing than towels in the entryway and windows. Second, if you're going to play movies, spend a few extra bucks for a screen that's decent enough to make the picture visible. Third, parents with young kids aren't going to shop at a store if they know checkout will take eons.

3. Two new characters announced for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.

*At Toycutter: Brutal Legend custom action figure.

*Buy Gatchaman toys at eBay.

Brutal Legend demo video playthrough

Here's a video walkthrough of the Brutal Legend demo. (It's infinitely better than the Psychonauts demo, which was neither funny, nor fun, and indicated that the graphics and art design in the game were terrible.) I particularly like the instructional screens:
