Only Lovers Left Alive (2013) Jarmusch made a vampire ☆*:.｡. o☆*･゜ﾟ･ movie ･゜ﾟ･*☆o .｡.:*☆ so he can relish immortal-like in each spinning overhead shot, immaculate hoarder sets, blissfully druggy ceremonial blood drinking scenes, the aching swell of SQÜRL and Josef Van Wissem’s music, waxing monologues about culture, and like this really good long relationship ♥｡. JIM JARMUSCHNESS: 2.5 out of 5.0 […]

Here are some 8-bit style animated GIFs of famous movie moments by Slovakia-based artist Dusan Cezek. For kitsch, “Pixelwood” series is really outstanding, with perfect color schemes (that very Wes Anderson orange in Cezek’s The Life Aquatic tho!) and narrative humor (Hulk mad!!!… Hulk brb). And how about that expressive versatility of Cezek’s single “pixel” blocks! The blinking eyes […]

For his mix, Dirty Beaches’ […]

There’s no surefire way to make your creative work go viral, but for designers, there are a few formulas that see success fairly often. One is make over the aesthetics of an already well-known piece of pop culture–especially a movie, and especially especially if that movie happens to be Star Wars. Another is minimalism.

Ooh. That’s classy. Check these sleek, faux-Penguin book covers created by London graphic designer Sharm Murugiah. Tarantino’s screenplays have never looked more Penguin. Ooh, Quentin, you’re so literary. Wasn’t his screenplay for From Dusk ‘Till Dawn like three pages and then “[vampire fight]” ? Enjoy Reservoir Dogs, True Romance, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill : Vol.1 & 2, […]
