My tribute to John Carpenter’s “They Live” (1988) starring Roddy Piper.
This is a movie everyone should see at some point in their lives.

A Brief Rant Regarding Books vs. Their Movies…

Just because a generally good book or series is made into a movie(s) doesn’t mean that the movie(s) is/are automatically as good as the book or series.
i.e. The Hunger Games, The Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter, etc.
Only notable exception: The Lord of the Rings
There’s nothing wrong with liking a book but disliking the movie. You have to remember that movies are directors’/writers’ interpretations of a book. It’s only natural that one lacks elements of the other. It is ridiculous to expect that a 2-3 hour movie will equal in quality to the capabilities of human imagination combined with the experience of reading.

Everyone is excited about this at the studio: possibly the most visually stunning - and most epic animated movie ever.
I just love these characters! Have you ever seen designs like this before? Just from the shape design - we’ve gone way past talking animals and ordinary people my dear.
Rise of the Guardians enters theaters on November 21, 2012. Screw Twilight, and go see this instead.
This movie is absolutely incredible! I have been watching it as its being made, and it is phenomenal!!
Twilight can suck an easter egg!! Everyone go see our movie!!
When I first heard about this movie, the premise made me really skeptical. But this trailer and the genuine enthusiasm from these lovely people at Dreamworks makes me really excited for it! For some reason, it’s seen as “risky” to make an animated film dark and epic, but that’s exactly what I want to see more of. So I’m definitely rooting for this one.
i am becoming overwhelmed thinking about how many aspects of this movie i love already having only watched this trailer. i am going to pee. i am going to pee everywhere
HOOOOOOLY SHIT, I NEED TO SEE THIS
This is beyond the term amazing… I’m so watching this.
I freaking love the Tooth Fairy’s design.
I need this in my life now plz 8I
Totally not sitting here crying because it just looks so good.
Just the fact that Santa is a crazy Russian dude is reason enough for me to want to see this.

MPAA take note. Pirates are not to blame for your lack of patronage.
At least a handful of good movies are coming out this summer.

Special effects in 2001: A Space Odyssey(1968)
As the film climaxes, David Bowman takes a trip through deep space that involves the innovative use of slit-scan photography to create the visual effects and disturbing sequences of him noticeably stunned at what he’s experiencing.
The “Star Gate” sequence, one of many ground-breaking visual effects. It was primarily for these that Stanley Kubrick won his only personal Academy Award. The colored lights in the were accomplished by slit-scan photography of thousands of high-contrast images on film, including op-art paintings, architectural drawings, moire patterns, printed circuits, and crystal structures. Known to staff as “Manhattan Project”, the shots of various nebula-like phenomena, including the expanding star field, were colored paints and chemicals swirling in a pool-like device known as a cloud tank, shot in slow-motion in a dark room. The live-action landscape shots in the ‘Star Gate’ sequence were filmed in the Hebridean islands, the mountains of northern Scotland, and Monument Valley (U.S.A.). The strange coloring and negative-image effects in these shots were achieved by the use of different color filters in the process of making dupe negatives.
