Title Inspiration
Movie title sequences are one of those things you notice when they’re really, really good. Art of the Title is a great website for finding and being inspired by great title sequences, past and present, including High Fidelity (links to quicktime file).

Reviewing Chinese Democracy
Chuck Klosterman reviews Chinese Democracy, the 15 year in the making… album? from what’s left of Guns ‘n Roses.
Reviewing Chinese Democracy is not like reviewing music. It’s more like reviewing a unicorn. Should I primarily be blown away that it exists at all? Am I supposed to compare it to conventional horses? To a rhinoceros? [...]

Bands from Sweden Not Named Abba
The next time this comes up at your swinging party, you’ll be able to answer that age old question of “What other bands came from Sweden in the ’70’s?” and the inevitable follow up: “How many members of the hit group Tonix were women?”

Scenes from Antarctica - The Big Picture - Boston.com
Beautiful photos from the end of the world in Antarctica over on The Big Picture. I can’t imagine what it would be like to live/work there. I’m both terrified and fascinated by the remoteness. Lonely Planet has a page for travel to/from Antarctica. Apparently you can book a 12hr fly-over from [...]

It All Comes Back to Denzel
Coincidence or planned attempt to subtly tell you what to think by some left/right-wing media conspiracy to undermine the Presidential election:
Consider: McCain left the Arizona stage to part of Hans Zimmer’s score from “Crimson Tide.” (This part, actually.) The 1995 Tony Scott film focused on a career Navy man (Gene Hackman), labeled a maverick by [...]

American Stories, American Solutions
Disclaimer: I’m a Canadian who follows American politics fairly loosely (as in I watch the Daily Show/Colbert Report and read the occasional blog/tweet about it). I don’t usually blog about it too much because I don’t like talking about something I don’t totally understand. But, Barack Obama has excited me about politics [...]
