The Smashing Pumpkins- Thirty Three




The audio here is better than on the official music video at the Pumpkin's official You Tube channel. My favourite song of theirs.

TENET - Official Trailer




They are trying to stop World War 3 ... a good film, worth watching, but the articles about the muffled dialog are correct. It's hard to understand what they are saying at time. Plus the end battle scene should have been reworked. It didn't look close to being realistic considering the tone of the film..

Flash Gordon The Greatest Adventure of All (1979)


The ultra rare Filmation's animated Flash Gordon movie. Laserdisc rip, clearer than that VHS rip that's been circulating around for years. :)

Devs (Hulu) Trailer HD - Nick Offerman, Sonoya Mizuno series


In Devs, a young computer engineer, Lily Chan, investigates the secretive development division of her employer, a cutting-edge tech company based in San Francisco, who she believes are behind the murder of her boyfriend.



Classy and creepy. However, I would have liked a more hopeful ending - like with Source Code where real alterations in reality did occur. Also, Oswald could not have been the lone shooter, something claimed extremely briefly at a point in the show.

Akira Kurosawa - Composing Movement


Can movement tell a story? Sure, if you’re as gifted as Akira Kurosawa. More than any other filmmaker, he had an innate understanding of movement and how to capture it onscreen. Join me today in studying the master, possibly the greatest composer of motion in film history.

How the world of Blade Runner 2049 was created | Production Design [No Spoilers]


I think what’s most exciting about revisiting the Blade Runner universe is the universe itself. What does Los Angeles look like 30 years after the events of the original film? What do people wear? How has the culture changed? And most importantly, how did the crew make this future seem real on film? This is the production design of Denis Villeneuve's Blade Runner 2049 on Making Film...

Buster Keaton - The Art of the Gag


Before Edgar Wright and Wes Anderson, before Chuck Jones and Jackie Chan, there was Buster Keaton, one of the founding fathers of visual comedy. And nearly 100 years after he first appeared onscreen, we’re still learning from him. Today, I’d like to talk about the artistry (and the thinking) behind his gags. Press the CC button to see the names of the films.

The Wonderful Inventiveness of Buster Keaton


Joseph Frank "Buster" Keaton (October 4, 1895 – February 1, 1966) was an American actor, comedian, film director, producer, screenwriter, and stunt performer. He was best known for his silent films, in which his trademark was physical comedy with a consistently stoic, deadpan expression, earning him the nickname "The Great Stone Face."
This is my tribute to the great Buster Keaton who seem to risk it all for the sake of comedy. No CGI or blue screen. This man did it for real.
