Bria sent me this eye candy -- trailers for relatively obscure Asian films -- which I thought would be appropriately fun for the holiday week

I believe that Steampunk is more than just brass and watchparts. It's finding a way to combine the past and the future in an aesthetic pleasing yet still punkish way. It's living a life that looks old-fashioned, yet speaks to the future. It's taking the detritus of our modern technological society and remaking it into useful things. Join me as I search for items for my house that combine the scientific romanticism of the Victorians with our real present and imagined future.

Wild Wild West Sets
I just discovered that the promotional website for Wild Wild West (the movie) has images of the sets. They are really wonderful. It's been so long since I've seen the movie, I think I need to see it again. (Especially since I've started working on my bedroom again, with an Old West Steampunk Train + Saloon feel. Still working on it, but so far the concept includes red velvet, wood, and trains.)
The two best parts of the set:
But definitely go check out the rest of the images.
