The Machine Stops from Reel 13 on Vimeo.

Here is an adaptation of the classic science fiction short story “The Machine Stops” by E.M. Forster, which was first published in 1909 and has since served as an inspiration for some of the best stories the genre has offered. You can read the story online at the personal website of Paul Rajlich.

Music Video: Lovecraft in Brooklyn

I love this song, but of all the videos featuring it, this is by far my favorite. The sketch just really compliments the tone of the song somehow. In case you’re wondering, the group that originally performed this song is The Mountain Goats. The rap undercurrents are provided by the group Aesop Rock for this remix.

If you like this song, don’t miss No Children. It’s very nearly as good, even if there isn’t a music video for it yet.

This is what I imagine MTV would be like if Geeks ruled the world.

While I’m not a fan of clowns, I love this film. It looks a lot like the effect used in Watchmen, only far more extensive.

Finally! Someone can make the Where’s Waldo film America has been waiting so long for!



Short Film: Fan-made Green Hornet Film

Apr 13 2009 Kommentarfunktion aus  53 views

The Green Hornet is a short re-envisioning of the classic characters of the popular radio series from french director Aurélien Poitrimoult. In the original series, The Green Hornet is actually Britt Reid, fearless newspaper publisher, who becomes the Green Hornet to battle criminals that have escaped the long arm of law with his trusted sidekick, Kato.

Unlike most fan films, which are of questionable basement-production quality, this is really worth watching. The fight choreography is particularly eye-catching. I’d say it was big-screen quality, but given the ever-widening range of quality seen in comic book films, I’m not sure that would be saying much.

If you’re a big pulp fan, definitely take a look. This may be the most authentic attempt you ever see, since the version Hollywood is cooking up is slated to feature comedian Seth Rogan – a sure sign the franchise will be getting the Starsky & Hutch treatment.
