An Indian actor screws up royally during the filming of a costume epic. When the 'Fire this guy' list gets confused with the studio head's guest list for a party, he appears there and everyone assumes he must belong. A great many sight gags and misunderstanding gags are played out at the party where the rest of the film takes place.
The rare Metropolis poster that was caught up in a messy bankruptcy case was auctioned today for $1.2 million by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Los Angeles.
CNETEpson launches wireless 3D projector in AsiaCNETSINGAPORE--Epson is showcasing its latest home theater (HT) and business projectors at the company's "engineered for business" event.
In the first frames of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the camera briefly lingers on a pair of hands in close-up as they light a candle. As the small flame flares, the camera pulls back to show the aged Bilbo Baggins (Ian Holm), and the seemingly mundane sequence concludes with a shot that might be unlike anything else you’ve ever seen in a theater.
"I can’t understand anyone with a real interest in cinema avoiding The Hobbit in HFR. It has to be seen; 48fps is a new way of looking at Middle-Earth, and at movies. There’s a place for this technology. OK, for a horror film, maybe not. (I would, however, love to see some filmmaker nail it.) But I imagine a film like Lincoln, shadowy as it is, shot in HFR, and wonder what it would be like to see Daniel Day-Lewis’s eyes gleam in a new light. That, too, might be spectacular."

Each generation, there are only a few lucky/brilliant/sufficiently eccentric people who manage to dramatically inspire the world. Dr. Bob Moog was one such character.
Hans Fjellestad released this 70 minute documentary in 2004. It highlights Moog's obsession with sound and artistic creation, drawing from his wisdom with commentary from the likes of Rick Wakeman, Keith Emerson and Herb Deutsch. If you're a synthesizer aficionado, it is definitely worth watching.

For one thing, Christopher Nolan, director of The Dark Knight trilogy, is involved as a producer as well as the co-author of the story on which the screenplay is based. For another, the cast, which includes Henry Cavill, Amy Adams and Michael Shannon, carries a gravitas we haven't seen in films since, well, The Dark Knight trilogy.
I do think it's one of those movies you either Love or Hate.

Slate Magazine (blog)The Best Animated Film of the YearSlate Magazine (blog)But the best animated film of the year is about a stick figure named Bill. Bill is the star of It's Such a Beautiful Day, the latest from independent animator Don Hertzfeldt.
"The best animated film of the year is about a stick figure named Bill. Bill is the star of It’s Such a Beautiful Day, the latest from independent animator Don Hertzfeldt. Hertzfeldt is known for making sick, hilarious shorts films about endless dental procedures and balloons that turn on toddlers. As those descriptions suggest, his earlier shorts, which might be described as Looney Tunes directed by Franz Kafka, aren’t for everyone. Ironically, this was more or less the point of his 2000 short Rejected, and yet it still won over enough members of the Academy to get nominated for an Oscar."

Kafka’s Nightmare Tale, ‘A Country Doctor,’ Told in Award-Winning Japanese Animation in Animation, Books, Literature | December 5th, 2012 1 Comment
Here’s a good story for a cold December night: Franz Kafka’s cryptic, hallucinatory tale of “A Country Doctor.”
Written in Prague during the icy winter of 1916-1917, Kafka’s story unfolds in one long paragraph like a fevered nightmare. “I was in great perplexity,” says the narrator, an old doctor, as he sets out in a blizzard at night on an urgent but vague mission. But he can’t go anywhere. His horse, worn out by the winter, has just died and his servant girl is going door to door pleading for help. A surreal sequence of events follow.
