Flim: search for objects in movies
Flim: Flim is the best tool for iconographic search If you’ll recall, back in January I linked to Mike Eckman’s post re: cameras in movies. He mentioned someone on Reddit making their own list. Well, turns out this Flim tool works pretty well for finding cameras in movies too.

Best of 2018
This year I’m taking a slightly more comprehensive approach to my “best of” list. I’ve taken a look at previous year’s lists: 2008, 2009, 2017 and comprised a slightly more complete set. Again, this is only the things I came across this year and can remember. I don’t keep a list throughout the year but…

The Dagobah cave in realtime
Todd Vaziri: Ever since I was a kid, I wondered what the scene might have looked like in real time, and how the scene, without slow-motion, would play differently to the audience. So I created it. I don’t write enough about Star Wars on my blog. For that I’m sorry. But this was too fun…

Luke Skywalker is The Last Jedi
Earlier this week I rewatched Star Wars Episode VII. It is really great. Most of the criticisms of the film do not hold up well. It is fun, engaging the entire time, and the actors are perfect. And the film fits in perfectly with the other 3 originals. One thing I’m surprised about, and was…

Jack Baty on Guardians of the Galaxy 2
Jack Baty: Almost lost me in the first 15 minutes. Way too silly for its own good. Felt to me like they took what they thought made the first film successful and just cranked up those bits. I enjoyed the middle portion, so stuck with it. If I had written a review, this would be…

Recently we’ve begun renting movies on Amazon Prime instead of iTunes via Apple…

Watching the Jaws anthology
For the sake of humanity, and because Netflix took the time, effort and expense of adding these movies to their library, I’ve watched Jaws, Jaws 2, Jaws 3-D, and Jaws: The Revenge. Do you know how sometimes your memory of a thing can make that thing seem better than it really was? This seems to…

RunPee
Have you ever wondered when would be a good time to go pee during a movie? Or, whether or not you should wait through the end credits? RunPee will tell you these things. The design of the app leaves much to be desired but if it works it is an excellent idea for an application.

Some of the best movies I’ve never seen
Chris and I are catching up on some classics. Being born in 1980 makes it pretty tough to have seen some of the classics. Just old enough to know about the movies, just young enough to have not been able to see them until later on in life. There are thousands of movies that I’d…
