  1. Movies, Downloads, Blu Ray, DVDs, Cinema & TV Listings | Find Any Film

    Alerts for when films you want to see appear in the formats you want. Good idea but ugly, confusing, unintuitive, Lottery-funded. Needs a slap with the Web 2.0 stick.

  2. Into The Abyss: Teal and Orange - Hollywood, Please Stop the Madness

    Fun look at how so many Hollywood films use very similar computer-adjusted colour palettes these days. (via @matlock)

  3. Rainer Werner Fassbinder Foundation - World on a Wire

    Three hour German TV science fiction film from 1973, which sounds great, re-released on DVD. (via an article in June 2010 ‘Sight & Sound’)

  4. YouTube - Avatar Review (Part 1 of 2)

    From the guy who did that long Star Wars review. This is also wonderful. Intelligent, funny, silly. “I haven’t rolled my eyes that much since that demonic possession.”

  5. Free Movies: Watch movies online legally

    A bunch of full “indie” movies to watch online. Looks like there might be some good stuff.

  6. Neuwanstein site - Primer Timeline

    For the wonderful and confusing movie ‘Primer’. Contains spoilers. (via Haddock)

  7. Buzz Image | Making Of

    Fantastic demonstration of how some of the CGI effects on ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’ were done. (via Haddock)

  8. Television Tropes & Idioms - Home Page

    Big wiki cataloging “devices and conventions that a writer can reasonably rely on as being present in the audience members’ minds and expectations”. Big, big time sink.

  9. Girls who eat their feelings, girls who don’t eat anything… | Ask Metafilter

    List of scenes from movies that explain the different cliques within a school. Looking forward to the YouTube compilation.

  10. Michal Kosakowski » films

    Very, very good silent film about the hours before 9/11 made entirely from clips of movies made before 9/11. Set aside a few minutes and watch. (via Kottke)

  11. ‘Grand,’ but No ‘Godfather’ - WSJ.com

    On why ‘Grand Theft Auto IV’ is very good but isn’t great art in the way the best films are. (via Infovore)

  12. Goings On: Online Only: The New Yorker

    Syndey Pollack looked for “the ache” in stories. “It is the ache of having one chance at deep love in a lifetime of shallow loves, and losing it too early.” Yes, that’s it exactly. (via Daring Fireball)

  13. Breaking Through - New York Times

    Just because I find it interesting what movies make a performer’s reputation, and in some cases makes it harder for them to different roles later. (via Kottke)

  14. Johnaugust.com

    I finally got round to reading a few months of John August’s weblog — he’s the screenwriter of ‘Go’ and ‘Big Fish’ among others — and it’s great stuff. Honest, open and useful.

  15. Alluc.org - Watch Movies/Cartoons/TV-shows/Animes online!

    Links to TV/movies watchable online elsewhere. I keep forgetting the URL.

  16. CHUD.com - Tom Cruise’s Starring Role in Watchmen Narrowly Averted

    Phew indeed, but there’s other interesting stuff about this inevitable project. “Your movie audience is basically where your comic book audience was when the graphic novel was written.” (via Haddock)

  17. Variety’s Festivals & Markets - Stillman seeing ‘Green’

    Whit Stillman’s starting work on a new film. About time!

  18. Watch these movies, then we can talk (kottke.org)

    Film critic Jim Emerson’s list of 102 movies you should see before you’re movie literate. At the time of writing I’ve seen 41 but can remember little about any of them.

  19. The Popcorn Palace Economy - The thirsty moviegoer fuels the business. By Edward Jay Epstein

    On the balance of food/drink, movies and advertising in the profits of cinemas. (via Kottke)

  20. PrimerMovie.com :: View topic - My version of the Primer explanation.

    I can’t remember the movie enough to see how much this makes sense, but for next time I see it… (via Tom Coates)

  21. The economics of movie popcorn pricing (kottke.org)

    See my two comments… so I don’t lose those links again (the rest of the page is by weird popcorn-eating people).

  22. RichardHerring.com - Saturday 29th January 2005

    Spot on about the wondrous ‘Sideways’ and the good-despite-itself ‘Closer’.

  23. Memorial Tiling on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

    If you’ve seen the film ‘Closer’… it’s really there! (But don’t look if you haven’t - spoiler!)

  24. The Ward-O-Matic: The Polar Express: A Virtual Train Wreck (conclusion)

    Interesting, fun post about computer modelling of humans for animation.

  25. Nashville (1975)

    Saw this for the first time last night… godlike genius. On at the NFT until 19th January.

  26. Zach Braff’s Garden State Blog

    It has a few flaws, but ‘Garden State’ is crammed with magical bittersweet moments. I didn’t want it to end.

  27. Sparkly Trainers | The travels of Mary Loosemore: Napoleon Dynamite - the movie

    What she said. It’s not funny, it’s embarrassing in a smug “I’m cool, look at those retro losers” Guardian Guide kind of way.

  28. IMDB’s Alternate Interfaces

    Nice to see the IMDB still makes its data available. there must be interesting things one could do with this…

  29. The Spy School

    Not-yet-made movie constructed from requested CCTV footage of the director. The plot could use some work I think.

  30. The Passion of the Christ (2004) - Film Review - Sight

    I believe Mark Kermode could find similarities between The Exorcist and every film ever made.
