Le Monde - A l’occasion de la sortie au cinéma du remake... Bookworm movies. Rubicon (2010) An unseen agent trails the truth, circling mysteries and raising questions with every paranoid swipe of the highlighter. Newspapers, bar codes, maps, documents, and photos — otherwise mundane minutiae is checked and rechecked for evidence, a pattern of some kind, or perhaps nothing at all. Every whir and click of the microfilm reader widens the web, as the line between conspiracy theorist and intelligence analyst is blurred in Imaginary Forces’ title sequence for AMC’s Rubicon.
A discussion with Creative Director KARIN FONG at Imaginary Forces. How did you begin this project? KF: The initial meeting was in Los Angeles with Rubicon’s EPs, Henry Bromell and Jason Horwitch. From the very beginning, there was the idea of this government, this agency basically, and a main character whose life revolves around pattern recognition.

Le Monde.fr | • Mis à jour le | Par Leila Marchand « May the force be with you » (« Que la force soit avec toi ») : voici la célèbre formule qui a fait du 4 mai – May 4th en anglais, qui se prononce à l'identique – une journée dédiée à Star Wars. La véritable force de la saga intergalactique, 38 ans après la sortie du premier film, en mai 1977, est de ne rien avoir perdu de son souffle. Un septième épisode, « Star Wars : The Force Awakens », sortira en salles le 18 décembre.
Sa bande-annonce officielle approche déjà les 68 millions de vues sur Youtube, signe que les fans trépignent déjà d'impatience. 775 millions de dollars de recettes dès le premier film 1977 A Hollywood, personne ne pariait sur le succès de Star Wars. Contre toute attente, le film connaît un succès phénoménal dès son premier week-end de sortie.
Star Wars : L'épisode I explose le box office (Pour rappel, les épisodes IV à VI sont sortis de 1977 à 1983, et les épisodes I à III ont été tournés plus tard, de 1999 à 2005.) What Does the Western Look Like? — The Outtake. I watched 50 westerns and compressed them into single frames of form and light. Not too long ago, I watched 50 westerns. The montage above represents 16 of them. The massive montage a few paragraphs down shows the rest. Each image within the montage is a sum image of every 10th second of each film — that is, one frame from every 10 seconds of a western was extracted and summed with the others to create a real image (math, basically). Only occasionally might one make out actual features of films when they are viewed this way — perhaps end-titles or credits or changes in aspect ratio, but certainly not characters, objects, or sets.
These shapes and colors are evocative in a way that tea leaves and tarot are: they don’t actually tell you much about what you’re looking at, but they allow you an emotional response confirmed or denied once you come to discover what the image “really” is. Actually, I tricked you. So, alone, these summed images can only tell us much. The Western, Saturated.

Watch John Cleese as Sherlock Holmes in The Strange Case of the End of Civilization as We Know It. Here’s something to lighten your day a little: Monty Python’s John Cleese as Sherlock Holmes in the 1977 British television film The Strange Case of the End of Civilization as We Know It.
As the title suggests, it’s a very silly film. Cleese plays Arthur Sherlock Holmes, grandson of the famous detective. His sidekick, Dr. Watson, is similarly descended from a familiar character in the Arthur Conan Doyle stories. Together they set out to foil a diabolical plot by their nemesis, a descendent of Professor Moriarty. The modern-day Holmes has some of the same mannerisms as his famous grandfather, but is decidedly less clever and likes to keep his calabash pipe filled with exotic varieties of cannabis. Cleese co-wrote the script with Jack Hobbs and the film’s director, Joseph McGrath, who is best known for directing the Peter Sellers movies Casino Royale and The Magic Christian.

In his 1997 book of drawings and verse, The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories, Tim Burton imagines a bizarre menagerie of misfits with names like Toxic Boy, Junk Girl, the Pin Cushion Queen and the Boy with Nails in his Eyes. “Inspired by such childhood heroes as Dr. Seuss and Roald Dahl,” writes James Ryan in the New York Times, “Mr. Burton’s slim volume exquisitely conveys the pain of an adolescent outsider. Like his movies, the work manages to be both childlike and sophisticated, blending the innocent with the macabre.” One of those adolescent outsiders is Stain Boy, a strange kind of superhero: He can’t fly around tall buildings, or outrun a speeding train, the only talent he seems to have is to leave a nasty stain.
Sometimes I know it bothers him, that he can’t run or swim or fly, and because of this one ability, his dry cleaning bill is sky-high.

Watch The Hitch-Hiker by Ida Lupino (the Only Female Director of a 1950s Noir Film) - One-Eyed Jacks : Marlon Brando. The Great Train Robbery : Edwin S Porter. Filmed in November 1903 at Edison's New York studio, at Essex County Park in New Jersey, and along the Lackawanna railroad and released in December 1903, "The Great Train Robbery" is considered to be one of the first significant early US narrative films.
Greatly influenced by the British film "Daring Daylight Robbery" (1903) it introduced many new cinematic techniques (cross cutting, double exposure, camera movement and location shooting) to American audiences. It was directed by Edwin S Porter and stars Justus D. Barnes as the head bandit, G. M. Anderson as a slain passenger and a robber, Walter Cameron as the sheriff. From the Edison Film Catalogue 1904: This sensational and highly tragic subject will certainly make a decided `hit' whenever shown.

The First Unintended Horror Film (1895)? Auschwitz Captured in Haunting Drone Footage (and a New Short Film by Steven Spielberg & Meryl Streep) Drones can give us an extraordinary view of cities still in their prime — cities like Los Angeles, New York, London, Bangkok & Mexico City. They can also give us a rare glimpse of places no longer inhabited, places quieted by the unspeakable. We’ve shown you a drone’s-eye view of Chernobyl. This week, it’s Auschwitz. Shot by the BBC, this sobering footage carries us over the massive Nazi concentration, built in Southern Poland, where 1.1 million people died during World War II, most of them (90%) European Jews.

Watch Dziga Vertov’s Unsettling Soviet Toys: The First Soviet Animated Movie Ever (1924) Dziga Vertov is best known for his dazzling city symphony A Man with a Movie Camera, which was ranked by Sight and Sound magazine as the 8th best movie ever made. Yet what you might not know is that Vertov also made the Soviet Union’s first ever animated movie, Soviet Toys. Consisting largely of simple line drawings, the film might lack the verve and visual sophistication that marked A Man with a Movie Camera, but Vertov still displays his knack for making striking, pungent images.
Yet those who don’t have an intimate knowledge of Soviet policy of the 1920s might find the movie — which is laden with Marxist allegories — really odd. Soviet Toys came out in 1924, during Lenin’s New Economic Policy (NEP), which gave some market incentives to small farmers. Not surprisingly, the farmers started producing a lot more food than before, and soon a whole new class of middleman traders formed — the reviled “NEPmen.” Related Content: “Glory to the Conquerors of the Universe!”
Terry Gilliam’s Debut Animated Film, Storytime. The Hobbit: The First Animation & Film Adaptation of Tolkien's Classic (1966) If you come to the first film production of J.R.R. Tolkien’s 1937 novel The Hobbit expecting anything like a reverent rendition of the story, prepare yourself for disappointment. Produced in 1966, the 12-minute animated short takes elements of the classic work of fantasy and adapts—or corrupts—them to fit a different story, one with a dragon, a hobbit, a wizard, and an Arkenstone, to be sure, but with a great many odd liberties taken with Tolkien’s world.
Instead of the great Smaug, we have a dragon named “Slag.” Instead of pillaging The Lonely Mountain, he steals the treasure of the village of Dale. Is this some off-brand knock-off, you may ask? If Deitch’s Hobbit short fails to move you, consider it at least a minor entry in the career of a fascinating character in the world of comics, animation, and folk music. For another, much more faithful—albeit wordless—illustrated take, see Anna Repp’s Endless Book Project (screen shot above).

I have loved this movie for MANY decades, just as I loved both of the "jungle Books" by Rudyard Kipling. And the "Just So Stories" and "Puck of Pook's Hill" and...ok I know it's consdiered uncool to actually read anything other than Harry Potter these days so I'll just leave it there. Sabu (full name Sabu Dastagir...MAYBE there's some controversy about that---his BROTHER may have been Sabu Dastagir while HE was really Selar Shaykh Sabu---but either way he's a SABU) was one good looking guy when he was young (which may have helped attract me to this movie...leave us face it, it didn't HURT)was 18 when he made THE JUNGLE BOOK.
This was the second time he'd played a role based on a Kipling story, incidentally---the first time was in 1937's ELEPHANT BOY (based on another short story from the FIRST "Jungle Book" (this one NOT about Mowgli) called "Toomai of the Elephants. But I think Sabu would've gotten a giggle from it. Hardware Wars: The Mother of All Star Wars Fan Films (and the Most Profitable Short Film Ever Made) Back in 1977, San Francisco filmmaker Ernie Fosselius had the brainwave to make a spoof of a movie that had just come out. It was a risky move. Nobody had any sense that Star Wars would become the worldwide cultural phenomenon that it did. And just as George Lucas’s space opera earned staggering amounts of money, so did Fosselius’s parody, Hardware Wars. You can watch it above. “I think a lot of the charm of that movie is the fact that we didn’t really know what we were doing,” said Scott Mathews, who donned a blonde wig to play the movie’s lead, Fluke Starbucker.
A canister vacuum cleaner stands in for R2D2, and Chewbacca appears to be a Cookie Monster puppet dyed brown. The often litigious Lucas reportedly really liked the movie, called it “cute.” Hardware Wars ended up launching an entire subgenre of movie – the Star Wars fan film.
