Hollywood's Big Ideas

Just want to share Alex Shaw’s Gonzo Gaming 7 podcast which tackles on the current trends in Hollywood.  Of particular note are his comments on the wave that is 3D, how film producers and consumers are riding it, and how it relates to piracy.  The fact that the videogame industry is also riding this wave [...]

Indie political/sci-fi drama series “Pioneer One” launched on torrent

…what first looks like a terrorist act turns out to be a Cold War relic come back to haunt the present. We follow our main characters, a team of Homeland Security agents, as they discover the truth of what’s happened: a forgotten Soviet space mission has returned to Earth, and what it’s brought back will [...]

Scott Pilgrim vs The Trailer

VS

A personal letdown is when I hold-off reading something for long periods of time only to go back when a movie adaptation is coming-up (bad darthvid, no twinkie!); It makes me feel dirty (“riding the trend train” dirty).

I read Precious Little Life shortly after vs The Universe got published (late in the game, [...]

Anime World Order reviews the last decade in anime

Anime World Order (AWO), a great, great anime podcast, is currently reviewing the past decade’s (2000 – 2009) significant anime. As of this writing, they’ve only covered until 2004.

Anime fans will find the podcast a good listen, with occasional comparisons between Western and Japanese takes on anime.  It’s also a good opportunity to see [...]

Avatar movie reviewed by epic Episode 1 review guy

After an epic Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace review, Mike Stoklasa is back with a review of Avatar.  It’s a more manageable 20 minutes now, and given that Avatar has fewer… “inconsistencies” compared to the subject of his previous review, it still manages to exhibit the same humor and level of film-making analysis [...]

70min Star Wars: Episode 1 movie review better than actual 130min movie

Mike Stoklasa‘s review is really long @$$, but seems to fly faster than Anakin’s pod-race sequence!  It’s a bit like Film Making 101 meets Yahtzee.  The humor can get disturbing at times, but it is brutally honest with an eye for the structure and purpose of film.

Perhaps Gizmodo’s headline describes it aptly by saying that [...]

Re-Enter the Dragon

Last Week, Discovery Channel (SEA) aired How Bruce Lee Changed the World.

Last Friday, Sole Movement let us know that the Nike Zoom Kobe V Bruce Lee colorway should be available (in BHS?) in around a week’s time (Feb 6).

So, does the following formula hold?

Bruce Lee + Nike Zoom Kobe V =

Nike Zoom [...]

I’m with COCO

Had to do a bit of catching-up as my cable provider hasn’t had the requisite shows for some years now.  I loved both of ‘em long ago when I was still able to watch ‘em, but given what I’ve been seeing/reading, I guess you could say…

『the TV show』 by 椙本晃佑

My pal AnarchyTech brought my attention to 『the TV show』, an awesome indie animated (自主制作アニメーション) music video by SUGIMOTO Kousuke (director) and MANABE Takayuki (music).

[embedded clip is the HD version, the normal version is here]

Check-out Kousuke’s other works at his website.

Want Yoda kicks?

Saw some Star Wars themed Adidas kicks while walking around the mall. There were only 2-3 models on display (Darth Vader, Stormtrooper, and something else that’s… black). Looking through the official catalog showed me this:

Answer to the question above:  WANT!

BTW, the collection’s intro video is a nice mashup of clips from the movie, [...]
