I’ve been waiting for this for a VERY long time and have finally seen Predators (2x to be exact). When it was announced that Robert Rodriguez was involved I got excited. When it was announced that Adrien Brody and Topher Grace would be in it, I cursed the film. I thought the only way I would enjoy it was if both of them were killed before the intro credits were finished. I have to admit, this movie does not disappoint. It is truly a worthy addition to the predator franchise and it thankfully erases the AvP movies from my mind (full disclosure: I still watch them religiously). The only slight gripe I have with it is Adrien Brody’s obviously forced raspy voice, but better that than his normal voice I guess. GO SEE IT NOW!!

Iron Man 2 Case Study | perceptionnyc.com

Some baddass stuff from Perception that they did for Iron Man 2. Check out the full case study for all the cool screens and what not from the gadgets we won’t have for at least another 2 years..

Objectified is a feature-length documentary about our complex relationship with manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them. It’s a look at the creativity at work behind everything from toothbrushes to tech gadgets. It’s about the designers who re-examine, re-evaluate and re-invent our manufactured environment on a daily basis. It’s about personal expression, identity, consumerism, and sustainability.

Objectified finally had a LA screening and it was AMAZING!

The conversations in Objectified have been on my mind the last couple of days as I look at everyday things in my life I take for granted – everything around us has been designed. The main theme that came to the surface was that of waste and how 90% of the things these great designers have made are probably in a landfill right now. Also, the apple geek in me lost his shit during the interview with Jonathan Ive inside the apple design studio (Gary said at the screening that during that day of filming they stopped work and cleared out the design studio at apple for 3 hours. A small part of him worried that he might cause some kind of delay in the iphone).

Go to a screening if you can or else check it out when it comes to DVD in September.

Shane Hurlbut was being a bit of a douche messing w/ lights while Christian Bale was trying to emote. This went on long enough that the DP got a little taste of what will happen to you when messing with the leader of the worldwide resistance and last hope for mankind. Hilarity ensues! Bale just apologized for his flip-out, but I wonder how it would’ve went down if the whole thing wasn’t recorded and distributed on the internet. Gotta take Bale’s side on this – he’s Batman/John Connor! A fresh-out-of-film-school PA would know better than to f’ w/ him while he’s trying to save the world from the machines..
