Dude?!
I am very confused by The Santa Crows’ Gift.. Is it a cultural thing? If I was Russian would it make sense to me? Maybe, but I doubt it. That’s just F’d up. More (though not as interesting) Russian animations here.

Amazing Sand Art
Holy crap. This (18.4 MB WMV File) is one of the most stunning performances I’ve ever seen. I know there are all kinds of talented artists out there, but this guy seems so sure and fluid. It’s like these images just appear out of nowhere. It was a double post over on MeFi. Thank god…

Wow!
Katie Cooke’s Home Grown Portraits over on 28 mm features some amazingly beautiful images. I know flowers tend to be easy photos to take, but this goes so far beyond that. Wow! First rate. Update: I guess they’re scanned flowers, not photographed flowers. Interesting technique.

The Language of Visual Storytelling
I like the use of common storytelling devices in Los dias sin dias. Since I don’t spend a lot of time studying film, I tend to forget that there is this entire language of symbols and accepted editing devices that can quickly convey mood or intent.

Movies I’ve Seen and Want to See
A few weeks ago, I saw a preview for Les Triplettes De Belleville (The Triplets of Belleville). I instantly resolved to see it. It looks just amazing, but just as quickly, I forgot what it was called. Now that I’ve stumbled across it again, I’m just setting a memory anchor for myself. Also, I finally…

The Rules of Failure
The Rules of Attraction has been hanging out on my TiVo for a week or so. I woke up early without much to do, so I watched it. The movie tries so hard to be edgy and cool. I’d like to say that it fails spectacularly, but there’s nothing spectacular about it. Mostly it’s just…

Nano Exhibit at LACMA
I can’t wait to see this Nano Exhibit. It sounds and looks wickedly cool. Via
