My Friend Kills Time.

A beautiful short film about a recluse.

Indie Games

So Netflix has a pretty good documentary called Indie Game: The Movie. I highly recommend it. It’s a pretty entertaining look at the lives of a few indie game developers as they go through the motions of developing and or releasing out their games.

The two games followed and sort of contrasted in the doc are Super Meat Boy and Fez, both of which I’d been aware of but never paid much attention to when they were released. After watching the doc, I finally went and bought both games and man, they are so good. So so good.

Batman: What comes after Nolan?

As Hollywood skews younger and younger, I’ve got a deep fear that they’re going to hire one of the Twilight hunks and make some teenage Batman movie where they retcon some ninja training into his high school years.

What I hope for is a movie version of Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns. There’s certainly plenty of grizzled old actors who could pulled it off, but perhaps perhaps none better than Micky Rourke, who, I imagine, has a boxer face similar to what a latter day Batman might have. And while I’m tempted to wish for a Sin City-esq Robert Rodriguez version, I think the story has the sort of potential that the Nolan stories have, to bridge into the real world. As such, I’d much rather see them snag up another up-and-coming indie director like Ramin Bahrani or Nicolas Winding Refn.

It does to Falling Down what Zombieland did to NIght of the Living Dead.

The Cabin in the Woods

It’s the Raiders of the Lost Ark of horror movies, with a batshit nuts script by Joss Whedon. Go see it… but PLEASE do so without watching any of the trailers and reading anything about it whatsoever.

An alternate viewing order for the Star Wars movies.

I think he makes a great case. I may employ this order on Ruby… It’s an incredibly important decision that requires careful consideration.

Jeff

This guy is playing Ed Wade in Moneyball

He’s got the same kind of beady little eyes, but has too much color to his skin.

A video for every song, with interlinking material. Very cool. Just wish I liked the songs more.

The Bondathon.

Some dude took a timelapse of him and up to 30 of his friends watching all 22 Bond films (and three non-canon flicks) and rating them along the way.

Best of 2010 preview.

This week I’ve been going through albums (not so much movies cause I haven’t seen, like, any) that came out this year and I’m just starting to rank them. Do you have any standouts or hidden gems you think we should know about before we all make our lists?

Wisdom

In science, ‘fact’ can only mean ‘confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.’ I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms.
