Awards: Bibi is nominated in the '08 Bloggies
As I understand it there are quite a lot of Weblog Awards held and probably The Bloggies are one of the biggest. I'm not sure. Anyway, it is time for The 8th Annual Weblog Awards - the 2008 Bloggies. I don't really read a lot of blogs so I don't really care. However, I just had to vote for my favorite Bibi's Box which is nominated in the Best Latin American Weblog section. If I didn't vote Bibi would hate me and stick needles in her voodoo doll. Maybe you had better vote too?!
Poster Art: Hammer Film
"Hammer Film Productions is a film production company in the United Kingdom. Founded in 1934, the company is best known for a series of Gothic "Hammer Horror" films produced from the late 1950s until the 1970s." (more from Wikipedia)
The Hammer Collection De Daniel Frenette, is a French website dedicated to this film company. If you don't master the French lingo why don't you brows through the large collection of posters and cinema cards.

Another nice Hammer Film site is Dictionary of Hammer Horror. It contains lots of information and nice screen shots like this one:
"Original trailer for "The Vampire Lovers" a 1970 British Hammer Horror film directed by Roy Ward Baker and starring Peter Cushing, Polish actress Ingrid Pitt and Kate O'Mara. It is based on the J. Sheridan Le Fanu novella Carmilla and is part of the so-called Karnstein Trilogy of films. Other films in the trilogy are Lust for a Vampire (1971) and Twins of Evil (1972). The three films were somewhat daring for the time in explicitly depicting lesbian themes." (Uploaded by Desconocida )
Blog: Videos with Bibi
Now it is official - Bibi has started a video blog obviously called Videos with Bibi! For many of us it is no secret that Bibi of Bibi's Box has uploaded loads of films to Google Video. We are talking classic quality film, classic cult movies, historic silent films, old cartoons, artsy experimental shorts and films that quite simply are in public domain. So far, on the blog, we can watch for example: Kurosawa's Rashomon, Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin, Fritz Lang's M, Murnau's Nosferatu, Wiene's The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and The man Who Knew to Much by Hitchcock. How's that for a lesson in cinematographic history? It doesn't stop there. We get to watch animated Gulliver's Travels by Dave Fleisher, early 20th century funny trick filming, semi-documentary German films from the 20s and WWII stories by John Ford and John Huston. And more. You can't expect me to tell you everything, can you? Look for yourself!
