Rear Window Timelapse

Jeff Desom created a timelapse video compositing everything (?) that the character L. B. Jeffries sees outside of his apartment window in Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 movie Rear Window. It's not only a brilliant idea, but it's beautifully executed, and quite a striking display.

Indiana Jones and the Shot-By-Shot Remake

I saw this a while back and thought it was interesting. Just as Raiders Of The Lost Ark was an homage to old adventure movie serials, this shot-by-shot remake was put together from old adventure movies as an homage to Raiders Of The Lost Ark. One of those "coming full circle" situations.

2012 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony: A Dream?

Remember when The Social Network was being made, and I thought it sounded more like a weird dream I would have? 

The 2012 Olympic Games opening ceremony sounds like a dream I'd have too. Film director Danny Boyle is the artistic director, Underworld (one of my favorite bands) are the music directors, and unless it's an April Fools' Day joke as commentators across the internet are claiming, it's going to have Daniel Craig's James Bond in it.

And again, it seems like all of that information should be preceded by the phrase "Last night I had a dream where..."

"Last night I had a dream where Danny Boyle was the artistic director of the 2012 Olympic Games opening ceremony, Underworld were the music directors, and it had Daniel Craig's James Bond in it."

Doesn't it make more sense that way?

I may have to watch the opening ceremony this year.

Maybe Danny Boyle should direct the next James Bond movie after Skyfall and have Underworld do the title song.
