NIN Countdown: Hurt

The Nine Inch Nails concert next week is coming up fast, and I’m pumped. To get you pumped as well, I figured I’d jazz you up with a little something I got by way of Rassi.

Joystiq and Cinematical Annoyances

I hate hate hate that Cinematical and Joystiq posts always start with an ‘introductory paragraph’. It’s like they have a certain post– and word-count they need to hit every day, and the result is too much bla-bla-blaing.

John Milius on Apocalypse Now

I picked up The Apocalypse Now Book recently, and I’m eager to read it. Few movies — in fact, I can’t think of any off the top of my head — are as all-engrossing and poetic to me as Apocalypse Now.

Film Editing Documentary

I highly recommend “this hour and a half documentary on film editing”:http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1873681186241686073.

Update: Sorry, it’s gone.

The is a documentary about the unappreciated art of film editing. It shows how film editing came about, and explains all the groundbreaking … all » ways it has changed the film watching experience. There are a bunch of interviews from big names in the film industry including Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, Steven Spielberg, Jodie Foster, and many more. This is really a must see for any big film buff.

Update: Aha! It turns out that it is available for purchase on Amazon! Thanks Goose.

Little Palace Hotel

For our trip to Paris, I booked a room at the Little Palace Hotel.

It was a quite pleasant stay, though a bit on the expensive side for our tastes. The bathroom however almost made up for it. Unfortunately I don’t have any shots of the bathroom itself, but I did manage to cover the rest of the hotel quite well.
