This simply amazing homage to both Charlie Chaplin and The Matrix is a brilliant piece of work by a Russian actor’s group called “Bolshaya Raznitsa” (The Big Difference). Best part? Multiple Agent Smiths! [Link: The Matrix as a Charlie Chaplin short, via Boing Boing]

Spot the likeness….this is a pic of me at my brother’s fancy dress up birthday party back in 2007. I don’t have a better pic lying around, unfortunately. For comparison, below, is the poster of the new Prince of Persia movie. Whaddayathink? Did I predict the new movie? Anyhow…I’m looking forward to seeing this movie [...]

I’m not sure which message board this came out of, but it’s pretty dang funny. I lol’d. A lot. If you can’t read it, it says: No, Moslems don’t believe that Jesus was the Messiah. Think of it like a movie. The Torah is the first one, and the New Testament is the sequel. The [...]

Videodrome

Movie for Saturday night: Videodrome128154 This is, supposedly, the first movie (1983) to use the idea of television waves as a means to control peeps – voodoo via VHS – and in the process, man becomes machine. I think the most recent movie of a similar nature is Ringu/The Ring. I like how the movie [...]

Cracked.com has an interesting post about the real fears that movie monsters embody, and it’s a fascinating look into an idea that what scares us isn’t what’s on the screen. I disagree with some of it, of course, because the nature of fear in movies is that we identify with the characters on the screen, [...]

So apparently there are plans in the mill to get another He-Man movie going, and if you spent as much childhood time as I did watching it, it initially sounds like a good thing. The problem is, we’ve been disappointed before, and not just with a bad He-Man movie, but other such conversions from treasured [...]

It’s the classic “want it to succeed but afraid of being so disappointed” feeling again. I was excited when they announced a movie based on the Prince of Persia game franchise (my favorite is still Sands of Time–it’s so much better than what came after). I was disappointed at hearing that Jake Gyllenhaal was cast [...]
