Steven Soderbergh: State of Cinema First of all, is there a difference between cinema and movies? Yeah. If I were on Team America, I’d say “Fuck yeah!” Video Game Music You will get very nostalgic as I did listening to these old memories. I almost dropped a tear while listening no Pokemon Pallet Town theme song. So, did you get nostalgic after hearing some of your childhood classics? The times when you have played these games with your school friends or even at the university or at bars. Which one almost made you drop a tear? Rating: 4.8/ 5 (119 votes cast)

Quentin Tarantino Lists His Favorite Films Since 1992 Yup, we mentioned Quentin Tarantino last week, and we’re doing it again this week because Rosario has unearthed this nice clip. In six snappy minutes, Tarantino (director of Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dog, Inglorious Basterds, etc) lists his favorites films made since 1992 — when he, himself, started making films. You’ll know some of these titles, but likely not others.

Amazing 3D Drawings Fredo’s artwork looks like it comes to life from a piece of paper. It is outstanding!

Of course I immediately wanted one. But it would take nearly two years before the dream became a reality.

Woody Allen Lists the Greatest Films of All Time: Includes Classics by Bergman, Truffaut & Fellini We’ve looked this week at the favorite movies selected by such respected filmmakers as Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scorsese. Today we round out this trio of eminent directors with the greatest films of all time according to Woody Allen, voting in the almighty Sight and Sound poll. The director of Annie Hall, Crimes and Misdemeanors, and Midnight in Paris selected, in no particular order, the following:

Those Aren't Mountains, It's an Aquarium! What look like foggy landscapes from alien planets, or maybe even the moody landscapes in some Rococo era painting, are actually carefully planned images of aquariums. Artist Kim Keever takes fishtanks and using plaster and other materials crafts landscapes within. He then fills the tanks with water, sets up lighting and photographs his aquatic set while adding in powders which form clouds and fog. The results are stunningly surreal… and sometimes even very realistic.

I figured someone had discovered, in the back of a long-neglected studio vault, the last extant print of a Kubrick masterpiece we’d somehow all forgotten. No suck luck, of course; Kubrick scholars, given how much they still talk about even the auteur’s never-realized projects like Napoleon, surely wouldn’t let an entire movie slip into obscurity. The burst of tweets actually came in honor of Kubrick’s 85th birthday, and hey, any chance to celebrate a director whose filmography includes the likes of Dr. Strangelove, The Shining, and 2001: A Space Odyssey, I’ll seize.

Video Game Characters as Traditional Woodblock Prints Illustrator Jed Henry combines modern video games with traditional Japanese Woodblock art prints to make these intriguing illustrations. Henry teamed up with woodblock artist David Bull to make actual prints that are now running for (an already successful) campaign on Kickstarter. Via Kottke Quentin Tarantino Lists the 12 Greatest Films of All Time: From Taxi Driver to The Bad News Bears Any list of the most respected American filmmakers of the past half-century would have to include Stanley Kubrick, Woody Allen, and Martin Scorsese. The latter two have kept creating, and prolifically, but that doesn’t delay those heated debates about who will most proudly carry the auteur’s tradition into the next few decades. Much smart money bets on Quentin Tarantino, who, at age 50, has already racked up over twenty years (and if you count My Best Friend’s Birthday, over 25) of demonstrating his distinctive cinematic sensibility.
