Episode 19: *Wonder World*

Weird “video” for a video installition in the elevators of the Standard Hotel in New York. The video is “comprised of over 400 video clips and it takes elevator passengers on a trip from hell to heaven as they go up or from heaven to hell as they go down”. Pictures of the installation and a Q&A with Brambilla and Crush is at GlossyInc.

I stumbled on this game trailer via Wonderland this morning:

It looks like a cool little game; I always enjoy the 2d versions of these type of puzzles, but they’re never really that difficult. Introducing a 3D aspect to it, is just what it needs to give that extra layer of difficulty.

The only problem is that it’s only available for Windows for $10. I wouldn’t mind having this game on my Mac, but seeing how the game is played I’d think the iPhone would be a better platform for it.

Check out CogsGame.com to download the game (or a trial version to try it out first).

I love a good vampire movie, and I love a good sci-fi movie. Add those two together, and you’ve got a movie that’s got me very much intrigued. Even though Twilight was better than I expected (review will follow soon), it’s still not the type of vampire movie I’m looking for. Daybreakers though is something completely different and I’m curious to see more of it.

Here’s the description:

In the year 2019, a plague has transformed most every human into vampires. Faced with a dwindling blood supply, the fractured dominant race plots their survival; meanwhile, a researcher (Ethan Hawke) works with a covert band of vamps (Willem Dafoe, Claudia Karvan) on a way to save humankind.

I always like it when the vampire’s are not necessarily the bad guys, but most of the time it’s still “we must remain a secret, the humans must not find out about us, blablabla”. Finally a movie that dares to shaken that up a bit. The whole vampires main stream society thing is something I’ve been dying to see for ages, and with this sci-fi-ish angle it’s really got me excited for it.
