Jeremy Lin’s line vs the Lakers tonight:
38 PTS 13-23 4 RB 7 AST 6 TO
As a Knicks fan, I was holding my breath all week waiting to see what he’d do in tonight’s game vs the Lakers. Fortunately he was phenomenal.
Best part, though, was at halftime when ESPN reporter Lisa Salters didn’t believe Lin when he said that he was going to the locker room to study film of the first half to figure out what he could do better. Can’t wait to see that clip online.

The Difference Between the United Kingdom, Great Britain, England and a Whole Lot More

heressomeawesome:

As Felicia is out of the country this week, you’re getting a double-dose of me (Barrett) instead. I can already hear you science nerds squealing with joy, but I’ve got something a little different up my sleeve today.

This week, one of my favorite Youtube producers, C. G. P. Grey, uses his charmingly inimitable style to finally shed some light on what has been a glaring gap in my knowledge my entire life.

You see, I’ve been content to call anyone from anywhere remotely close to London “British,” and having never been corrected by a Brit, I just assumed I was right to do so. I have been corrected by other people though, and as I rarely keep a Brit around just to clarify, this situation remained unsolved right up until the point where I found this video.

It turns out there is a big difference - big enough where even some citizens of the Isles might find it a bit confusing. Some of the rest of us just find it amusing (though that could also be the delivery) but it’s the “whole lot more” that the title promises where it really starts to get fascinating.

Nice find, Barrett

holy crap this extension is really useful: sauceNAO helps you find original source on images

miserylolita:

sauceNAO used to take me ten seconds

now it literally takes 2 seconds

If you use google chrome as a browser and want to speed up finding sources for fanart, I definitely, definitely recommend this.

Here’s the link

Here’s the Firefox version

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2011) vs Ghost in the Shell (1995)

The FJP (I pronounce that like like ‘The Wu’) posted Rob G. Wilson and Kirby Ferguson’s “Everything is a Remix: The Matrix” earlier today which shows how much of the iconic imagery of The Matrix was created by aping scenes from the classic 1995 anime Ghost in the Shell.

Also, I just posted a photoset about how the classic Fritz Lang film ‘Metropolis’ actually owed it’s signature look to an earlier Russian film, Aelita.

Similarly, the visually striking title sequence to David Fincher’s ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’ seems to also owe much to the opening credits of Ghost in the Shell when placed alongside each other in the photoset above.

All of this serves to remake Kirby Ferguson’s point with his ‘Everything is a Remix’ series: while established content IP holders like to treat remix as near piracy, mimicry has always existed (good thing) but without attribution (bad thing), especially among Hollywood’s own practitioners.

So let’s move the ball forward. What if instead of considering any of these examples ‘ripoffs’, we treated this imagery (the framing of a shot, the pace of movement) the same way that hip hop treats samples and beats?

If the imagery is effective in conveying a particular thought or emotion, why not allow that as a building block of ‘content’?

Russian Film ‘Aelita, Queen of Mars’ was to Fritz Lang’s ‘Metropolis’ as ‘Ghost in the Shell’ was to ‘The Matrix’

If you took/are taking a film theory class in college, chances are you had to watch Fritz Lang’s classic expressionist 1927 film ‘Metropolis’. What you may not learn (or at least I didn’t) was that his work was strongly influenced by a Russian sci-fi movie that came out a few years earlier.

via kosmograd:

The other pre-eminent Russian work of fiction set on Mars is Aelita, by Alexei Tolstoy, written in 1923, six years after the second Russian Revolution of 1917 and the instigation of a Socialist state. In it the character Los travels to Mars to lead a popular uprising against the Elders. When the rebellion is crushed Los and Aelita, the princess of Mars, seizes control to establish her own totalitarian regime.

It was made into a film Aelita, Queen of Mars by Iakov Protozanov in 1924. The Constructivist style of its film sets, designed by Isaac Rabinovich, and with outlandish costumes by Alexandra Exter, depicted the advanced state of Martian society, as something for the new USSR to aspire to. While it was a major influence on Flash Gordon, Metropolis, the film fell out of favour in later years, perhaps for being a little too accurate in prefiguring Soviet society under Stalin.

Everything is a Remix: The Matrix

futurejournalismproject:

Kirby Ferguson, a New York-based filmmaker, and friends have been working on a four-part video series called Everything is a Remix.

Here, to demonstrate their point, they juxtapose scenes from the Matrix with films that it drew inspiration from. For example, as we move along the timeline:

  • 0:27 - Fist of Legend (1994)
  • 0:38 - Tai-Chi Master (Twin Dragons) (1993)
  • 0:44 - Fist of Legend (1994)
  • 0:48 - Tai-Chi Master (Twin Dragons) (1993)
  • 0:53 - Drunken Master (1978)

Click through for other influences that range from a Philip K. Dick speech (1:45) to Total Recall (2:30) to Alice in Wonderland (3:24).

Ok. I’m about to reblog two other similar things in order to make a point.

Glitch Textiles - @pixelform uses short circuited cameras to create blanket patterns

The following are a set of 60×40″ woven blankets by Phillip Stearns, produced using images generated from short circuited cameras as pattern sources.

These objects are layered deep with irony: a digital photograph made with a broken camera is mechanically woven as a blanket commonly advertised as a kitsch object—something meant to cherish memories now becomes a way to cherish corrupted memory; the cold logic of digital systems is fashioned into a warm blanket.

Whatever the reasons behind adult men’s troubling fascination with “jailbait,” it’s worth noting that the porn industry is hardly alone in eroticizing adolescents. The ongoing and increasing sexualization of underage girls is widespread in fashion, advertising, and popular culture.

    It makes sense

    1 Kilometer = 1000 Meters
    1/2 a Kilometer = 500 Meters
    1 Meter = 100 Centimeters
    1 Centimeter = 10 Millimeters
