AMV

AMV stands for "Anime music video", a very popular pastime amongst anime fans. The general idea is to take a song that is familiar to your friends and then find a bunch of anime clips that support the lyrics (lip-syncing the words). If you do a search on the initials "AMV" on YouTube...

Across the Universe

Check this one out, I thought it was oddly entertaining. It's kooky as hell, but it kinda sucked me in. I especially enjoyed the Bono and Joe Cocker cameos. It's way over the top, but it's also really original. The way they tell most of the story with the music, with very little dialog, was...

The Concert

By all accounts Led Zep's concert last night, the first in 27 years, was amazing. Rolling Stone's David Fricke has an article on it here: http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/17601364/led_zeppelin_the_full_report_from_david_fricke

Children of Men

Holy cow what a movie. This may well end up on my list of "perfect films". It's a must-see for any movie buff, for sure. There are three extended-take sequences that are talked about at great length in the movie's Wikipedia article. All three of them were absolute genius, and no doubt...

Front Page Header Graphic

If you're curious about the graphic on the front page, I made it in Photoshop by mashing-up several pieces of clip art and photos I found around the net. There are pieces of about five or six different images in there, and there's some tiling going on as well as some color distortion. Fun stuff...
