We just received an email from Ilke Turpijn plugging a new interesting and independent project she worked on. We’ve had the pleasure of working with her in the past on several projects. Apart from being a talented individual, she’s also ape-shit bonkers, which is part of her charms aswell.
Anywho, we’ve taken a five minute break from our pre-production work to pay this forward:
go check out the promotional site for Onderdanen. There’s a teaser-trailer there aswell which gives you a general idea on what it’s about. Apparently the release date is set for December, so mark those agenda’s, or don’t, but whatever you do, just love your local heroes.
Take care and eat your vegetables,
Sincerly,
Dolores, Daily

Long time no see, yes of course, we miss all of you just as much. The last couple of months have been packed with screenplay writing, location hunting, lots and lots of sweating in this heatwave, making phonecalls, drinking coffee, doing e-mails, lack of sleep, myspace ruins our lives, doing auditions etc etc. While phoning around for permission for several very nifty, cinematographic locations, it has come to our attention that the world is gonna keep on looking uglier. Beautiful old buildings are being torn down, to make room for higher classed condo buildings, atomic era swimmingpools will be replaced by happy-wild-ride-slides and kids these days are ape-shit crazy.
We just got off the phone with a company that has bought the abandoned swimmingpool that sits in the city centre of Leuven, near the Hogeschoolplein. They start the slow killing next week. Luckily, kind souls like Wereldkeuken (by the way big it up for this fella, since he has been so kind as to help us look for an abandoned pool) has eternalized this building on the sensitive photographic plate. Check out his flickr set. It’s nice.
More later perhaps, but now, we need some more coffee and get our asses back in gear.
With love,
Dolores, Daily

Hey kids,
just a short one this time around.
New trend of the day: ads created by users, an agency’s worst nightmare.
Read more about it right here.
The example they use is Tyson Ibele’s Sony ad, a gem as they say. It’s been around for a while and has been picked up now that it won a contest.
You can read more behind the scenes goodies here. (you might wanna register first)
Tyson is only 19 years old and we’ve always been impressed by the things he posted on the CG-society fora. Be sure to click his name and roam around his site cuz it’s filled with crazy delicious quicktimes and jpg’s, the kind we swallow without chomping and afterwards lick our fingers like a stripper would. Also, he has been so kind as to write down some tutorials, a geek-read for some, a must read for geeks.
Despite his young age he’s already working as a vfx-artist at MAKE studio, the one that brought us that Nike Robots ad a while back.
That’ll be all for now,
take care,
Dolores, Daily
ps: a little something for on the road: Spike Jonz’ New Miller audition ads.

Backstory: an ongoing dirty war is still raging between LPF en VX. To truely get all of this you’ll have to read all the posts on the VXWARS blogspot. We, team VX, have won several battles but were quite surprised by Noc’s comeback, blocking us out of the editing priviledges (since he is the head admin. there) and hacking our latest post. Hence a crossover post that should be (and was) on vxwars but now back in it’s true form on dailydolores. Enjoy:
—————————————————————————
We always had a hunch…
…and now that he admits it, well, we’re kinda sure.
So all ye faithfull vx-followers, follow us to Noctos’ Blog, he’s a member of the dreadful LPF, and see for yourself.
Just in case he deletes it one of these days (that would be the day that he finally realizes that something on his blog went wrong) just in that case you can view it right here.
It’s not that we have such a grudge against Noctos, heck he’s the only one of the LPF we ever shook hands with over drinks and cigars, it’s just, he makes it so damn easy.
With Love,
Team VX
—————————————————————————
[edit] We also have to admit, cuz when it’s good it’s great, his effort has not gone unnoticed.

She kept us waiting for way too long but finally she’s here: Miss Abzinth.
Not much there yet but what is there is worth the visit. Read more about it at Mr. Goap’s.
Keep an eye on her and not just because she’s hawt, it’s what’s inside that is important is what it is.
[update:] Bandwidth exeeded already, everybody wants a piece of the Missus. Thankfully the ever present Mr.Goap went the distance and saved the day. Gloggy Mirror for the video.

We got home today from kind-of-work and the first thing we stumbled upon was this sweet gif-animation that brought back many nostalgic childhood memories.
(no gif-animations in blogspot? CLICK HERE to see it play, please do or you’re missing out on funny stuff)
All the Goonies-fans in the house get a bright golden star from Grandmaw Dolores.
We started thinking back of all the kids that starred in that film. The only ones we could remember were Corey Feldman, Indiana Jone’s Short Round, a cute red-head and Chunk the chubby kid. But where are they now? And what do they look like in 2006? The ever-helpful folks at imdb helped us out of our misery.
We found out that Chunk ain’t that chunky no more, that Short Round is doing hollywoodian martial arts choreography, that one of the kids went on to become a hobbit and that even Josh Brolin was a Goonie. Also Sloth, or at least the 6′8″ football-player who embodied him, passed away due to heart failure four years after they wrapped the film. But what we forgot all about, was that the little red-head was played by Kerri Green, who also starred next to Corey Haim in one of our other beloved 80’s childhood movies: Lucas. We remember having the biggest crush on her in that film, that by the way also featured very young versions of Charlie Sheen, Courtney Thorne-Smith (yes THE Courtney Thorne-Smith) and was the debut-film for Wynona Ryder, who we later developed a crush upon, but that’s for a different post.
As a bonus, we searched and found some of these great wav’s from the Goonies movie, delivered by the Chunk-meister himself, cuz he truely had the best lines. Those who got the remixing, mash-upping skillz, please, don’t hold back and say hi to Spielberg’s lawyers from us.
If you’d like some more, or have trouble understanding some of the words go to this page right here.
And I know I’m at least a month late with this, but still, Happy 20th B-Day Goonies!

[NOTE] Before anyone says anything, yes we are aware that Miss Kerri Green in her Lucas-days resembles Emma Watson of Harry Potter fame alot. No we will not tolerate any jokes or quiffs about this in the comments. Any Corey Feldman/Haim anecdotes, however, are welcome as always.
