12 Year Old Music Prodigy
•November 13, 2011 • Leave a CommentMeet Jay “Bluejay” Greenberg, he is being compared to Mozart, but I’d say he’s more of a J.S. Bach in the way he is flawlessly able to invert clefs then play and compose them on the spot — Genius:
Blue Jay, probably the greatest talent to come along in 200 years. At age 12, he has already written 5 full length symphonies.

Voting closes on November 30 and two final teams will be announced on December 8. They will then have to write a full feature-length script by January 20.” – TimeOut

SINGHAM — Bollywood at its finest
•November 8, 2011 • Leave a CommentI have French cinema, Korean, Japanese, Italian, African, etc, but no Hindi. I have completely neglected it based on the fact that no one has recommended anything, plus I refuse to pay for television…
However, this fight scene from SINGHAM (a remake of 2010 Tamil film SINGAM) is so badass, from the hero’s inventive moves, the gravity-defying stunts to the escalating music, it makes a darn good attention-grabbing point that Bollywood is something I should look into, and has single-handedly confirmed a truth — so many wrongs can make a right:
Seriously, how justifying was that? EPIC!
Everything Is A Remix: THE MATRIX
•November 6, 2011 • 1 CommentThis is an interesting/awesome side-by-side video that will come as no surprise to fans of anime and kung-fu films.
Cool, right? What surprised me most was that there was no mention of Alex Proyas’s DARK CITY. I suppose it was THE MATRIX’s twin film (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_films).
Dark City (1998) vs The Matrix (1999) – On a story basis, they are great entertaining films in their own right and I adore them both; I have some fond memories attributed to these films. But my side-by-side comparison should reveal to you my point of straight visual style copycatting. It’s not a major deal to me or to anyone really, I just like the idea of giving credit where credit is due:
Coincidence?
To sum this lesson in comprehension up; creation requires influence, or, apparently, everything is a remix.
Video Games Are Art!
•November 6, 2011 • Leave a CommentNot only are games totally sweet, so much fun to play and engrossing, they are and will become a greater part of interactivity in life, seriously; your ass may be missing out.
This is an awesome short 7min documentary on the artistic merits of video games. I’m totally loving hearing all of this, but people who are less enthusiastic about games might benefit more from watching:
Video games are important. They are a storytelling medium, a place for self-expression, a sandbox for the human imagination, and an extension of an ages old tradition of gaming.
We play out some of the most essential aspects of our culture in games, and we learn more about ourselves and the world around us in the process. From the powerful cinematic experiences of mainstream gaming, to the hyper-personal environments of indie games, we are in the midst of an explosion of gaming activity that, as some predict, will continue to define the way we live and interact with information, and each other, far into the future.

Adventure Time With Pokémon!
•November 1, 2011 • Leave a CommentI can’t believe this is my first mention of “ADVENTURE TIME” which is a supremely good quality cartoon. Well the makers of that made this and injected some humour into Pokémon, and by humour I mean, it’s a fart joke:
