Tintin.

Thought it was live action, and it isn’t. I’m not sure why motion capture is of any interest…Is it because it accurately captures human movement and facial expressions? Aren’t we watching a cartoon, though? So what is the point? Isn’t the very pleasure derived from animation (and from the incredible Herge books too) one of delving into the unreal with no hesitation. Why straddle the line?

Tintin has officially crashed into the pits of the Uncanny Valley.

“It was Winkler’s mentor, Jason Reitman, who encouraged him to write the script that became Ceremony.”

This does not bode well for anything.

Chris Ware. Clearly this will go down as one of the great posters of all time.

“I wanted to get at both the transcendent solemnity of the film while keeping some sense of its loose, very unpretentious accessibility. This being a poster, however — and even worse, me not really being a designer — I realized it also had to be somewhat punchy and strange, so as to draw viewers in and pique their curiosity without, hopefully, insulting their intelligence.”

Screened so far: Pariah Shorts program Martha Marcy may Marlene Here On the ice The woods

After six films, it is my conclusion that the state of the union is strong. Very proud of American independent film right now.

Banksy

Wed, 19 Jan 2011 13:05:43 -0500

Last night Banksy won the Cinema Eye for best doc. Through his producer he passed on the following acceptance speech:

“Now is not the time for a long rambling self-indulgent speech - I’ll leave that to the director of ‘Waiting for “Superman.”’ I’d like to thank the Cinema Eye Awards. It’s great to be recognized by people who are so obsessive about the documentary genre. In other words, people who are even more socially retarded than myself… How can you be sure this award is real? I’d like to categorically assure you this evening’s awards are not being staged by actors for a parody on making a film about the film awards circuit.” In closing, Banksy’s statement said, “I’d like to dedicate this award to anyone out there who has ever looked at the state of the world and thought, ‘I can’t just stand idly and watch this happen… I should get it on tape.”

I think it will be good to start doing this. A little bit like yelling into the woods, but that is fun.
