^^That is really great.
EDIT: I guess that was a pretty weak post, so here's something similar: Zak Smith's page-by-page illustrations for Gravity's Rainbow. Really neat.

To continue the trend, I have a copy of the Essays of Michel de Montaigne with illustrations by Salvador Dalí. The book was published by Doubleday in 1947, and all illustrations were done using the same technique: pencil, watercolors and India ink on paper. Here are some of the more interesting drawings.

I think on the web site he says he tried to adapt each page as literally (ha) as possible; so basically a detail of whatever larger image the book conjured in his mind. (You should try it!)

This makes it about $50 you have cost me on books, now. :D

I think that's actually his last performance just a couple months before his death, pretty impressive.

lol (1997.... wowwww)


Elevator @ the Mercedes-Benz museum in Stuttgart




Artificial tornado @ the museum



The museum has been recognized by the Guinness Book of Records for creating the "strongest artificially generated tornado in the world." The 34.4 meter high (that is 37.2 yards to those metrically challenged) vortex was not designed as an attraction, but to channel smoke out of the building in the event of a fire. The architecture wonderment that is the museum did not make use of any fire doors in the design (surely they would get in the way of the architect's vision). In order to meet regulations, the building engineers had to determine a way to keep smoke from spreading beyond the fire level, the tornado is the resulting solution. The twister takes around seven minutes to materialize and is generated by 144 jets and 28 tons of air. The low pressure area at the center of the tornado works to create a jet stream that draws smoke out of the building's corridors and funnels it upwards and out an exhaust vent on the roof.

Almost impossible to categorise, Serge Bozon’s first featurette Mods (2002) is a warm melange of psychedelic black-comedy, musical and love story.

Two greenhorn enlistee brothers visit their university-attending sibling, who has sunk into a catatonic depression following a breakup. As the bumpkins try to acclimate to the ways of the campus and coax their brother out of bed, they find themselves in a strange world of odd characters and surreal choreographed dance interludes set to songs of 60s American garage-rock maestros (Phil and the Frantics, The Seeds, and many more).

"I prefer Once More With Feeling, but this looks intriguing. To the download station!"


Disclaimer : haven't seen the film, I just finished watching Bozon's La France --which was all kinds of beautiful-- and wanted to check his other stuff, only saw the youtube vids

If you guys are looking for stuff to watch, I highly recommend Eugene Green's movies. Toutes Les Nuits is my favorite. Le Pont des Arts is also great, Le Monde Vivant is ok, and I haven't seen A Religiosa Portuguesa yet.

The watershed episode from Season 6, and a musical to boot. :inlove:

Classic Whedon:

I hope she fries, I'm free if that ***** dies...
I better help her out.




Speaking of the Whedonverse, I think trailer editing is severely underrated. Here's the coolest amateur effort in the world:
