You know me? I’m really into um, teddy bears.

And this internet famous, moody British chap.

So this Weetabix cereal commercial makes me really, really stoked. Stoked on life. Stoked on bears. And dancing. And cereal. And commercial production.

Here’s the awesome behind-the-scenes video for the commercial. Bear costumes what! No Furry jokes plz! Pedobear free-zone too, gawd, gosh, srsly.

Thernody for the Victims of Hiroshima

Posted on September 22, 2011 | Leave a comment

Aphex Twin

“Thernody for the Victims of Hiroshima” remix

Performed at the European Culture Congress, Wroclaw, Poland, 2011

Original composition by Krzysztof Penderecki

The video and sound qualities are shit, but those didn’t stop me from geeking out hardcore. This original piece by Penderecki is famous for a lot of reasons, but also because it showed up in films like THE SHINING and CHILDREN OF MEN.

I just wish I was there to witness Richard D’s remix and to get a better look at the video art going on behind the musicians.

Alice In Wonderland, 1951

Sometimes I get this song stuck in my head when I’m working in art department.

It’s an accurate assessment of what we do.

BELLY, Dir. Hype Williams, 1998

I was on turntable.fm today and dropped one of my favorite 90s songs, Soul II Soul’s “Back To Life” and immediately remembered this film.

BELLY has one of the best introduction sequences ever. Elements at hand include: an incredible, minimal remix of the aforementioned song, black lights, Nas, DMX, strippers, a strip club, money, strobe lights, armed robbery, NEON EYEBALLS, Malik Hassan Sayeed’s cinematography, and Hype Williams’ styling at its zenith. It seems like every hip hop music video tried to copy this sequence afterward.

I wish there was a better-quality video of this segment out there.

The rest of the film is pretty good.

(Big ups to an old friend who showed me this clip once upon a time, back in the day, however that goes)

Oh, ooh, and there’s T-Boz on that TLC tip. Miss you girl.

Still Standing

Tipping the geek scales to Very – here’s a video from Kotaku, where some dudes (Machinima Respawn E3 2011 LA Noire Landmark Tour Part 1 w/ Sark, Hutch & Seananners) visit all of the historical landmarks in Los Angeles that appear in L.A. NOIRE.

I haven’t bought that game yet, but it’s on my to-do. Hours of film noir stories and visuals will make any film geek…excited? Wait, aren’t film geeks excited a lot, anyway? Anyway.

Overdue for a thoughtful post. But Los Angeles, besides the pretty good Tim Burton exhibit you can check out at LACMA, check this exhibit out:
