I remember reading Life of Pi by Yann Martell in high school (or was it college?) and it is still one of the most unique novels that I’ve read. The concept of a boy getting shipwrecked on a small lifeboat with a Bengal tiger, a spotted hyena, a zebra, and an orangutan is pretty silly at first, but Life of Pi executes it amazingly.

Prometheus. You guys are probably getting tired of my posts about this upcoming film by now, but hopefully this will be the last one. Earlier this week, the viral campaign for Prometheus dropped another segment with their further introduction of David-8, the latest humanoid android from Weyland Industries.

The posters are done in an almost Art Nouveau-like style, but if Art Nouveau was revived now.. I’m not even [Read More]
The full theatrical trailer for my most anticipated film of 2012 came out last Saturday and man, its amazing. I mean, the teaser for Prometheus itself was amazing, so I had no idea how they would top that, but they did. This trailers features a good idea on what the film is about and a lot of references to the first Alien film (SPACE JOCKEY!), which means that its definitely not just a spritual or spin-off prequel [Read More]
The TED Talks series is some of the best videos ever in terms of pure inspiration and education in what’s going on with the technology, entertainment, and design industries. They feature all kinds of important people in the industry, where they talk about what they’re currently working on and such. This new TED Talk that just premiered is by a man named Peter Weyland and its from.. the year 2023.. (and yes, its a real TED Talk, [Read More]
