Gun Crazy

guns are like snakes, both equally creep me out
and fascinate me.

I've always romanticized guns, mostly for their film noir
associations. I would someday like to actually go to a range
and fire one instead of living vicariously through Annette Bening
in "American Beauty".

but what triggered, as it were, this post was the poster for the new Statham
shoot-'em-up, "The Mechanic". a work of graphic
design I would go as far as calling "fun". yes, they
form the shape of a gun...but after the designer "played"
with them to achieve it. hell, it's just cool.

I want a t-shirt.
