The photography and typography of the poster is really great. And, I have to say, it’s the best Woody Allen movie I’ve seen so far (which is a lot of them). It feels like he’s getting better and better at making films. Oh yeah, don’t forget to watch the trailer (and swoon).

An amazing trailer for Children of Men. The song playing on top is King Crimson’s Court of the Crimson King. Which, I highly recommend you pick up on vinyl – 21st Century Schizoid Man is an amazing track.

A fabulous cover! George Lucas should be proud, and David Bowie should be ashamed he wasn’t this clever ;)

Here is more info on the band. Apparently Luke Steel from The Sleepy Jackson formed Empire of the Sun with Nick Littlemore from Pnau/Teenagers. Rockin’ good music.

This video has no words for explanation, but is intriguing – also NSFW, or safe for anywhere, really.

His team of engineers and scientists have created the first digital movie camera that matches the detail and richness of analog film. The Red One records motion in a whopping 4,096 lines of horizontal resolution—”4K” in filmmaker lingo—and 2,304 of vertical. For comparison, hi-def digital movies like Sin City and the Star Wars prequels top out at 1,920 by 1,080, just like your HDTV. (There’s also a slightly higher-resolution option called 2K that reaches 2,048 lines by 1,080.) Film doesn’t have pixels, but the industry-standard 35-millimeter stock has a visual resolution roughly equivalent to 4K. And that’s what makes the Red so exciting: It delivers all the dazzle of analog, but it’s easier to use and cheaper—by orders of magnitude—than a film camera. In other words, Jannard’s creation threatens to make 35-mm movie film obsolete.

Live On The Web by Steven Meisel was done over a year ago, but I happened to miss it. Ridiculous satire. I bet his art directors are just laughing themselves silly with this – or patting themselves on the back.
