Someone has seen a lot of movies...

An interesting video comparing Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill to many of the movies that inspired it. Some would say Tarantino steals from other movies but I find he mixes things up and changes them enough to make then fresh. It's hard to do anything these days that can't be compared to something else before it.

Vintage video about how Disney made Snow White in 1938.

I bet a lot of younger people used to computer animation don't realize just how much tedious work it used to take to make a animated film.

Interesting Video about Visual Effects from Hereafter

I find this kind of stuff fascinating. It's amazing what they can do with effects these days. I never saw Hereafter but I heard it was worth seeing just for the Tsunami sequence at the beginning.

I wish I could play this before every Film.

One of the most common reasons given for people not going to theatres are the behaviours of the audiences. Noise, talking, lighted devices and other distractions. I find I avoid the busy nights at other theatres to try to get distracted as little as possible.

I found this video on the web. I'd like to show it every night before the films but the numerous regulars that come often would probably get sick of it.

Let me know what you think...

100 classic movie lines in 200 seconds.

Great little video someone put a lot of work into. I've seen almost all of these movies. There's a few of the older ones I would like to see at some point.

My current favorite songs.

This isn't strictly movie related, yet. I just discovered one of these songs today and one a couple weeks ago. A musician friend of mine once said I had very commercial taste in music. Most of the music I like seems to end up being used in various movies so I would imagine these songs will end up in one sooner or later. I noticed on youtube people are posting the Matt Alber one and suggesting it be used in New Moon, the sequel to Twilight.
The last album I really liked was Mika's Life In Cartoon Motion, those songs turned up in multiple movies and trailers.

Enjoy..
