Here’s the first official Prometheus poster which also reveals the film’s tagline. The trailer shouldn’t be too far behind!
Also, here are some exclusive pictures from the film that should be sweeping the web soon. Sweet casting. And no, I don’t think these are considered spoilers… I think…
From what I’ve gathered; this mesmerizing face morphing experiment is composed of photos taken in 1983 from “Summer Weather,” a portrait series of would-be weather reporters, unearthed just this year.
I love how unique and stand-alone a piece of work this is; French animator and photographer Micaël Reynaud (check-out his Go-Bots collection) has given these forgotten stills movement and life again:
Photographer Micaël Reynaud took a large number of black & white head shots by photographer Michael Jang and turned them into this super trippy video showing the faces morph through a ripple effect.
These adept kids bring coolness to shuffling. Not only can they dance, they can also kick butt while doing it:
Visit ‘The Nicest Place On the Internet’ to receive as many as you want; virtual love, infectious smiles and close-up chins aplenty! I’ve left my screen droning on this site for a few minutes now; I’m not sure how niceness is quantified but for now this is certainly the most interesting place on the internet. I like the idea and I feel slightly warmer too:
Witness 2,500 cheese wheels careening down a mountainside in popular cheese-wheel-racing-simulator, Skyrim. Pretty neat particle physics engine, but I think this needed, hmm, more cheese:
For a long time now I have been searching for ‘Altered States’ on DVD. I found a copy last weekend when I signed up to my local video store and watched it the day that Ken Russell passed away (3 July 1927 – 27 November 2011)
Russell (84) will be forever remembered as a controversial and visionary artist with something of a third eye when it came to making oddball dramas that have captivating images and themes.
I had no idea what to expect of this film and I was blown away by its depth, special effects, psychedelia and by William Hurt’s standout debut performance, so if you’re as keen as I was you can relax, I’m not going to drop any spoilers. But I will say; If you love immersing yourself in a good science-fiction story, then ‘Altered States’ will definitely warp your mind through a vortex of reverence and existential fear.

I want one! Ooh genetic engineering, hurry up already!
Wampas are badass; thanks Kitty for the memories and for the heads-up.
“Because I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you shall call him DOG.”
OK, but I’m calling my dog Gupmaw!
The master of lasers works his light-bending magic in Disneyland’s ElecTRONica
Pretty cool. This is the type of entertainment we will come to expect from our strippers of the future. Seriously, lasers are cool and all but I was expecting Laserman to start grinding on a laser pole. Light-bending beams is sweet, but that guy is in the way!
Replace Laserman with a Laserbot I say…OK, I may be a l-i-t-t-l-e bit jealous, but not of his get-up that’s for sure – Here’s Wei Chieh Shih with a real laser suit to envy:
Stunning. Astonishingly beautiful and almost surreal footage like this makes me want to turn my computer into a shrine and worship the internet and the awesomeness of science and technology! Only the ISS can show me this side of the world, and I love it.
Images like this would have united the world a few years ago and I guess with more mediums of media and cgi we’ve become less sensitive to recognizing or certainly acknowledging true beauty.
Footage from the International Space Station orbiting Earth is always impressive, but this 5 minute edit by Michael König is truly the pièce de résistance:
Time lapse sequences of photographs taken by the crew of expeditions 28 & 29 onboard the International Space Station from August to October, 2011, who to my knowledge shot these pictures at an altitude of around 350 km.

A wonderful suggestion by Korea’s Studio Shelter, reminding us that doodling is one of mankind’s ultimate forms of personal expression. Keep drawing!
There aren’t many tumblr sites that I return to, but ‘Awesome People Hanging Out Together’ has what I like. Aside from the standard press picture, there are some wonderfully surreal photos, hapless expressions, plenty of beautiful black-and-whites and people immortalized together that I just wouldn’t have imagined ever meeting.
