Loving the use of the video aesthetic.

The music, too, of course.

Can’t tell if they’re hipsters or if they are just doing a really good job of making fun of them.

I’d just like to bring to your attention a really amazing piece by Joey Carr, a recent grad of SAIC.

Probably one of the best student pieces I’ve seen out of my school. Engaging, meditative, visceral…

And how about that boxer at the end? Holy shit.

Hey Iron Giant, nice palettes.

Iron Giant Palettes - Download 1, 2, 3

I love this movie, and I really dig Jordie’s series of palette swatches. Because I’m an unoriginal hack, I know I’m going to be coming back to these pretty heavily in the future.

Wow, the poster for SAIC’s Undergraduate Film Festival looks pretty terrible.

Still, you should go. My latest documentary, Brother, is premiering on opening night.

September 30th, 5-8 pm.

I haven’t been able to sum up my thoughts on the movie “Thor” for the longest time. I’m watching it with my roommate right now and I believe I have come across the proper words.

Meh.

The exact moment when Toy Story 3 made you cry. In toy form.

Sat, 20 Aug 2011 04:30:00 -0400

The other day, I was at work, which basically entails slowly walking the entire perimeter of the store and asking people if they are finding their plastic interlocking blocks alright.

About five minutes into my shift, I had reached the Toy Story section. Unfortunately, we don’t have all the Toy Story sets. We only have Buzz Lightyear’s spaceship, some army guys, a train, and that remote control car from the first movie.

A customer noticed me walking about like an automaton and beckoned me over. He asked me if we carried a particular Toy Story set that was not on the shelf. To be specific, 7596 Trash Compactor Escape.

This thing:

Take one second, if you will, to look over the various little details and doodads the set contains. Now, direct your attention to the right of the set. Specifically, the part where we see Hamm being lowered into a pit of fire.

A pit of fucking fire.

Yes, kids and adults, you can re-enact the scene where a large part of your childhood pretty much almost got incinerated. You know what I’m talking about.

This fucking scene.

Have fun with your Legos, kids.

After my viewing of the new film “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”, I’ve found that a long-winded, detailed review is absolutely moot when I can sum up my thoughts and the entire reason you should see this movie with one sentence:

A gorilla versus a fucking helicopter.

So this is my first tumblr post in months. I’d just like to say that

MUSE, A PERFECT CIRCLE, DEATH FROM ABOVE 1979, and EMINEM WERE FUCKING INSANE.

Those Lolla tickets were $215 well spent.

So I’m working on two videos at the moment:

- a test short for something I plan on making later down the road, a “proof of concept”, if you will. It’s a sci-fi drama.

- a strange film with Taylor Wood that I can only describe as a Surreal Grindhouse Children’s Action Sci-Fi Clusterfuck. It’s like Die Hard meets Rugrats meets Pulp Fiction by way of the Matrix. That makes no sense, and it describes the film perfectly.

“[Killing bin Laden] sent a loud message to the world: Mess with the U.S. and we’ll bankrupt ourselves trying to find a few dozen men. So if you’re the kind of terrorist comfortable with suicide missions and want to bring down the U.S. economy, please come on over and attack us again. As an added bonus, we’ll trample on our own citizens’ civil liberties, humiliate and sexually assault them in airports, and completely ignore our own Constitution, so you’ll have effectively destroyed our freedoms AND our prosperity.”
