Timecrimes Movie Explanation and Interview With Nacho Vigalondo

When I first watched TimeCrimes, I was struggling to understand if the TimeCrimes time travel system was deterministic or if time could actually change as the movie moved forward. A lot of this confusion centered around the young woman... who she was, how many times did she die? Did she die at all? Was Hector's wife killed and then saved? Was she killed at all? Etc. I also wasn't sure how the time machine worked. But seeing as though this was the first time that a "vertibrate had entered" the machine, they didn't understand it either.

Let me wax eloquent a moment about Magic and Trunkclub

Sure I applaud Magic for their finding a niche and filling it. Kudos to them. I love the idea. I may even use it. And kudos to Trunkclub for their innovation and their delivering quality clothes to guys that can afford them. I love it. And I get it. I get why it works for guys. But maybe this ennui is the root of a deeper problem, a deeper issue we should point our gaze at for a bit. Maybe we need to concentrate on the why of these things as opposed to the cleverness of the solutions. Maybe we need to reconsider our life choices as a society. Maybe we need to reevaluate what is really and truly important in this life.

Quite Possibly The Scariest Thing I’ve Ever Seen

But I have never, ever, seen anything as freaky as this little youtube video. That crab got completely pwned by that little octopus. And it was fast! Next thing I know the crab is just doing that thing crabs do. And blam, out the water comes the next entrant in the Godzilla wars. Seriously.

A Few Photoshop Memories Over the Past 25 Years

Regardless... thanks Adobe, for picking up Photoshop back when it was still Imagepro. Thanks for enabling super powerful image editing for the masses and literally bringing it out of the Pixar. (Long story - feel free to read it here.) I know that my own life would be radically different without Photoshop not being in it. Here's to Photoshop's next 25!

Oscar Predictions 2015

Alright – Let’s go out on a limb here and post are assumptions about the major categories being decided tonight...

The New, “What Whale?” meme

Which makes me think that we have got to make this into a meme. This, "I'm too busy to notice" or "What Whale" occurrence has got to become a meme. And in order to help give this new meme a shove in the proper direction I figured I'd add a few entries for society to consider and expound upon. But this guy is sooo extraordinarily cool its like shooting fish in a barrel.

Blue Bottle Coffee Your Next Investment

I first encountered Blue Bottle in San Francisco a couple years ago. (The photos included in this story are from a several of my visits to the store.) Since then every time I've been back to the Bay Area I go way out of my way to get back to Blue Bottle. Every time I turn the corner and see the shop ahead, I'm greeted with a mile long line. The reason is fairly simple. Blue Bottle Coffee is artisan coffee created slowly and delicately for the perfect taste and experience.

Rabbit and Deer Short Film Interview With Péter Vácz

I think your answer is great. The two characters were partly based on my previous love relationship/on us, and she had a quite different personality from mine but that's what inspired me to be with her. To learn something from another person who I can respect, who can show me the world, little things the way I haven't seen them before and bring the best out of me. And it's one of the best things in life if this need for sharing is mutual from both sides. (Well she did textile design and I make films...which is quite different, but at least both are art in a way)According to your children's question I think they wanted to know why R&D didn't 'do the fun stuff' anymore together since it's hard to accept or see when something good ends (changes).

New Game Called Parallax Interview With Zi Ye and Jesse Burstyn

Start small. If you have an idea that you think is small, make it smaller. Also, your game will never be good enough if you are constantly raising the bar. Have a clear and complete plan for your project at all times, even if it changes. One good, finished game is better than ten amazing, abandoned games. Parallax was rewritten and redesigned 8 times, and we went on two hiatuses spanning years, and every time we tried to pick up the project again, it just wasn't "good enough", because we had no plan. We wasted a lot of time, but we are finally here now!

Nick Smith Pantone Classics

I found these so fascinating I went looking for a way to develop a similar look inside photoshop with actions and rules automatically (minus the custom pantone colors). And as I was playing around with the concepts I made a square pixelated version of the Mona Lisa.

Greatest Display of Athleticism Since Jordan

This is the craziest thing ever. Like ever. Jordan, tongue out, flying through the air? Nothing on this guy. Lebron? Zilch. Who is this guy?! I totally want his autograph! Someone please figure out how to get me his contact information! I'm dying to me this ambidextrous wonder. He's a demi-god at pop-a-shot. Just amazing!
