io9 - Michael Bay Finally Made An Art Movie - Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Source: io9.com
Critical consensus on Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen is overwhelmingly negative. But the critics are wrong. Michael Bay used a squillion dollars and a hundred supercomputers’ worth of CG for a brilliant art movie about the illusory nature of plot.
    Perhaps the best movie review ever, and I haven’t even seen the movie:
“If you’re drowning in an Olympic…

From the album Asa Breed on the Ghostly International label, this video premiered on MTV2’s subterranean, 10.22.08. Directors Judy Welfare and Jeremy Hollister capture much of the song’s fervent busyness by using a special 5 camera rig splayed out in a semi-circle and attached to the bed of a truck…

    Perhaps my favorite poem from my favorite poet, and it’s beautiful to hear him read it aloud.

We define the world and ourselves by the others, and balance the boundaries….

    It’s hard for me to imagine a single thing I’d change about this song. One of my very favorites. And by the way, you can’t really see it with low quality video, but Lee Renaldo is running a SCREWDRIVER up and down the neck of the guitar as he plays.

Susan Boyle: Her sadness and our shame
Source: www.telegraph.co.uk
Britain’s Got Talent runner-up Susan Boyle is paying the price for instant fame - and we should look to ourselves for the culprits
    I’m glad to see that someone has published what I have been thinking.

Since I first saw the video being spread, it concerned me that perhaps the popularity was not based on Boyle’s own ability, but in her status as a symbol to remind us not to “judge a book…

One shot: J.otto Seibold’s mystery game sprites - Offworld
Source: www.offworld.com
Artist and children’s book illustrator (and former star of my now-defunct record label) J.otto Seibold previews a mysterious set of video game sprites via his flickr. I’m sure I have no idea what’s going on here…
    I so hope that this becomes a game, and on a platform I already have. But a J.otto game might be enough to convince me to buy a new console, like Katamari Damacy did.
