Why do film scripts have such bad formatting?
Published November 24, 2008 Design , Movies 1 CommentTags: script, the dark knight
So Warner Bros posted ‘The Dark Knight’ script online as a PDF as a promo for the upcoming Oscars. But glancing over it, I noticed that the formatting is terrible. Are all scripts formatted like this? The font style is difficult to read, there’s no hierarchy of text, no color labeling. As a designer, I’m a little surprised that it looks so….amateur.
Lynda takes the stress out of learning
Published November 24, 2008 Design Leave a CommentTags: adobe, dreamweaver, learning, lynda
What a great set of learning videos. I’ve always like Lynda, and now I’m learning Dreamweaver CS3 with it. Lynda has tutorials on all the Adobe applications and takes you through them from zero experience all the way up to expert level. I highly recommended learning via Lynda first, and then referencing books.
Another film about depression in suburbia
Published November 21, 2008 Movies Leave a CommentTags: film, leonardo dicaprio, revolutionary road, sam mendes, suburbia
I smell Oscar. Sam Mendes is directing Revolutionary Road, a film about a couple struggling to live in suburbia. I love these types of films. Mendes previously directed American Beauty, which was great. And Little Children, directed by Todd Field, was great as well. In fact I can’t think of a film set in suburbia that wasn’t at least “good.” And they all have one central consensus: suburbia sucks the life out of you, it’s boring, your dreams are dashed, all hope is lost, etc. And it’s true. I’ve never lived in suburbia before, but growing up I visited these areas quite often and they are depressingly inactive. I could stand outside in the middle of the road and 15 minutes would pass before I even see a car pass by. Since seeing Vanilla Sky, it reminded me of the opening scene where Tom Cruise’s character realizes that no one is in Times Square, and then starts to run. It makes me feel better about my living conditions. I may live in a ~460sqft studio apartment, but it’s surrounded by city and lots of activity, and I enjoy the little traffic noises when I leave my window open.

Crazy lady in ‘Jesus Camp’ film
Published November 15, 2008 Movies Leave a CommentTags: bullshit, dumb kids, god, jesus camp, religion, sin
WTF??? Bill Maher is right. Religion is quite religulous. ‘Jesus Camp’ is a film about a group of kids who go to a camp where this lady preaches to kids about God and crap. It’s unbelievable how brain-washed these kids are. It made me sad just watching some of the things these people say, like how swearing is a sin. And how there are only two kinds of people: (1) those who let God into their lives, and (2) those who don’t. Well after this film, looks like it only confirms that I’m definitely the latter.
Left 4 Dead is crazy havoc fun!
Published November 14, 2008 Uncategorized Leave a CommentTags: co-op, fps, games, left 4 dead, pc, shooter
Wow, the demo of this PC game was recently released, and it’s quite a ride. Hordes of zombies run and attack you, while 4 players try to kill them off. The co-op feels right, and there’s a sense of team during gameplay. Love it, although the controls don’t seem to be as responsive as Half-Life 2. Still, if your system can handle it, download the demo from Steam and shoot away.

Pixar short: BURN-E (in WALL-E DVD)
Published November 13, 2008 Movies 1 CommentTags: animation, burn-e, pixar, wall-e
DOWNLOAD THE VIDEO, Save As. Hey, this is pretty cool. Included as a bonus in the WALL-E disc is an animation short featuring BURN-E, a robot who is called to fix a light outside the ship. This is not part of the original film shown in theaters. It’s about 7 minutes long. Cute. Download VLC player if you can’t play an AVI file on your computer.
Law&Order lawyers are so not lawyers
Published November 13, 2008 television Leave a CommentTags: law & order, lawyers, nbc
Now I know TV shows are all fake, and I like my Law&Order, but these lawyers are getting increasingly attractive over time. I mean, when was the last time you ever saw a female lawyer look like this? Never, because women who are 5′10″, slender, and exotic looking are all actresses and models. They don’t want to argue for a living and read through pages of crap, and defend people who they don’t like.
Animation: Blizzard vs Pixar?
Published November 13, 2008 Design , Movies 1 CommentTags: blizzard, diablo 3, pixar, ratatouille, starcraft 2, wall-e
We all know about Pixar and their animated films, and we all applaud the detailed and fluid animations, from the characters to the landscape and various objects. But after going through a couple of Blizzard cinematic intros of StarCraft II and Diablo III, I couldn’t help but notice that both animation houses are equally great. I can’t favor one over the other!

Download the three part video: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3. John McCain returns to the Tonight Show in his first interview appearance since his election loss. To be honest, this guy is such a hack. He’s still so careful in his answers and dodged a few questions and sugar-coated basically everything. Good thing he’s never going to run for President again.
