This average (and two-minutes-too-long) remix by Ocelot of Robyn’s pseudo-hit from 2005 gets a new video that really packs a whallop midway through – some interesting camera work, some hopefully contractually obligated participants, one pink boxing glove, and some ungodly fast shutter clicks later, we have a music video that mostly has me wondering about what professional boxers must be enduring over their professional careers.
David Lynch speaks his mind on mobile movies. I love how he calls it watching a ‘film’ on your ‘telephone’. That’s so cute. The interview has been dubbed with iPhone music to be clever.
Now if you’re playing the movie on your telephone you will never in a trillion years experience the film. You’ll think you have experienced it, but you’ll be [clears throat] cheated. It’s a… such a sadness that you think you’ve seen a film on your fucking telephone. Get real.
Wes Anderson may disappoint but Michel Gondry is forever. I cannot wait for this movie.
Yann is a French digital designer plying his trade in NYC. His character design is totally charming and he’s made them available as desktop downloads. As I was digging through his work I found his Product & Interface Design page, projects he does in his spare time because he apparently can’t help but try and make the world a better place. And we have nothing but respect for people who design a better iPod like object.
I’ve been waiting for a long while to feel that vintage Wes Anderson feeling. Since Royal Tenenbaums to be exact. I expected too much from Life Aquatic and left disappointed, and what’s going on with the Fantastic Mr. Fox? If there’s one thing I do like about Anderson it’s the compositions. The wonderfully placed cameras, the beautiful details, the symmetry. That is why a movie placed smack in the heart of India can’t be anything but gorgeous. The poster and the trailer (which surfaced today) seem to point in the right direction. It’s not Rushmore, but perhaps a more mature and nuanced take on brotherly relations then Bottle Rocket? It’s all glorious speculation for now.
May the Phone be with you!
If Matt Groening met Jason Theodor, this could be the result: a geeky Simpsons character, wearing a Ze Frank T-Shirt. You can log in and make your own from a limited array of choices (not unlike creating a Nintendo Mii), then save them and print them. Toysrevil has made a Simpsons Avatar flickr group to share your cartoon creations. My guess is you’ll be able to embed them on MySpace soon (since they are both Fox properties). I had to take a screenshot to upload this to my facebook profile, but I’m not holding my breath for a NewsCorp facebook app. This is a fabulous way to waste a ton of time, and build buzz for the upcoming Simpsons Movie.

Got 71 minutes? Neither do I right now, but for 1 week, you can watch the entire movie for free on YouTube. The creators of this movie are using the power of social media to promote their film, meet future colaborators, encourage reviews, and try to get out of debt. So far over 30,000 people have watched it in less than 24 hours, and they’ve raised over 3,500 bucks thanks to spout.com, a new movie review site that’s paying them a dollar for each new registrant. But more on this later, go watch it!
Someone on YouTube discovered that exactly 1 minute and 52 seconds into the latest 300 trailer, there was a test image of Rorshach, from the upcoming Zach Snyder movie, Watchmen. Of course, Warner demanded that YouTube remove the copyright-protected material, but here is a picture of what was shown: Rarshach on the moonlit streets of NYC, holding the bloody happyface pin of the Comedian. Thanks to Simon for this little tip.
