So you’ve probably made up your mind on Woody Allen. You’ve read Dylan Farrow’s sobering accounts of her child abuse at his hands, Vanity Fair’s “10 Undeniable Facts,” and everything else, and now you’re facing a dilemma about what to do with the man’s works. You’d rather not watch Allen’s films and support a person […]
Leonardo DiCaprio’s rousing speech as Jordan Belfort in The Wolf of Wall Street just got more rousing, if you’re into Swedish extreme metal. Behold, the Messhugah mash-up version. Really brings out the performative nuances of DiCaprio’s screaming face and that dark camaraderie of the whole chest-pounding/chanting routine, which wasn’t even part of the script, but something Matthew McConaughey does before his scenes […]
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 […]
David Seger and his friends are fighting back against the Hollywood remake machine. The ubiquitous big-budget reworkings of classic films, from Total Recall to Alice in Wonderland, inevitably twist and contort the source material, leaving fans of the originals with little recourse aside from ranting and raving on web forums and making image macros. Seger thinks bigger than […]
Here’s a taste of what Fight Club might look like if Edward Norton’s nameless main character was shown to be the lonely insane person he really is. The special effects artist Richard Trammell edited Tyler Durden out of the film’s iconic “I want you to hit me as you can” scene, so that it’s just Norton on […]
In Baltimore, Double Dagger are heroes: their records are fantastic, their live shows are the stuff of local legend, and their breakup was cause for a kind of misty-eyed mourning and nostalgia in the city’s DIY scene that wasn’t unlike what’s happening in the wake of 285 Kent’s closure here in New York. Elsewhere, you […]
It was the first successful “internet addiction” manslaughter defense: An infant starved to death in South Korea, because her parents neglected her to play Prius Online at internet cafes. The fantasy multi-player game’s “rich and immersive emotional experiences” had more to offer. Valerie Veatch’s documentary Love Child 사이버 사랑 explores the increasingly immersive technological environments of South Korea — “the world’s most wired nation” — virtual, […]
French filmmaker Leos Carax is “controversial” and “mad,” but his films Mauvaus Sang, Pola X and, most recently, Holy Motors are daring, strange, unsettling and beautiful visions of a true auteur. He’s also struggled to make a film, every time. The new documentary Mr leos caraX goes behind the struggle, the vision and the “romantic, but destructive characters,” with some poetic inflections […]
Here’s a fun new clip from CineFix “gamifying” Pulp Fiction as a 8-bit NES-inspired arcade action game. It’s got all the key scenes — from the shoot-out with Honey Bunny and Pumpkin to Vincent and Mia dancing to bang bang bang bang bang bang, blood. They’ve also done Hunger Games, The Dark Knight, The Shinning and more, but I could actually play this one […]
