I’m not well versed in dance, but I really enjoy these combinations of motion and the exploration of physical spaces. I’m also quite taken at how stories/narratives emerge, between the dancers, as the piece continues onward.
I love fun Star Trek videos, particularly the ones where repetition plays a key role. Here’s a supercut of every time McCoy reports that someone’s dead.
The effect of the building’s windows adds a great touch to this performance, as the mirror effect seems to double the number of participants (and also provides a counter-motion to each performer).
“Sometimes magic is just someone spending more time on something than anyone else might reasonably expect”
“Dear Diary: I have been stalking an insect on the wall for the past three days, now. All of my attempts to capture it have been thwarted. However today, on further inspection, I found out the insect was in fact a thumbtack.
There is no logic in this place.”
“we only text each other on our birthdays now”
The combination of a child’s art-direction with an adult’s implementation has always struck me as a thing of magic and entertainment. Seeing Netflix’s take on this makes me excited for the whole series.
I’m awed at how, at times, there are these side streets that seem incredibly peaceful… and almost desolate. And then a few corners later, it’s a completely busy street full of pedestrians and cars.
Relocated wires, and tried to “clean up” a bit. This isn’t code, but definitely feels like refactoring. Might even be able to get away with a half-size breadboard.
So I found this to be a fascinating moment: I knew the song through a meme, and not on its own merits. And in fact had no association at all with the original artist, as the song to me just evokes a slowly moving car down a street in suburban Portland.
“Did you lose your mind all of a sudden, or was it a slow, gradual process?”
This video by Charles Berthoud takes the “Increasing Difficulty” concept, and executes it perfectly. I was expecting some fancy bass playing, but I really wasn’t expecting the mind-numbing, two-handed, Stanley Jordan level sounds that came from this instrument.
I know very little about this movie, but it looks amazing! There’s so much going on, so many questions, so many connections I’m trying to make between these very different scenes. Initially, I thought this was some Marvel multiverse thing. But I’m actually quite happy to learn that it’s something completely different. And it just feels fresh and new and…
Came across this video on BoingBoing and got sucked in. It’s not quite all about food production, and looks a bit more into the economics and business of running a Ramen shop in Japan.
Back in 2018, there was a fan film made starring Fillion as Nathan Drake (the main character from the Uncharted games). And it was fantastic. And it’s all I can think about now, because Fillion just really embodies Drake’s character to me – it’s hard to not imagine him in this role.
