BleepCast – Level 3
Posted in BleepCast, Computing, Games
This all new episode of the BleepCast deals with gamifications of great movie scores. If you were already alive in the 80′s, going to the movies or just watching classic flicks from the 80′s on your VCR you probably had once the urge to become Indiana Jones, Marty McFly or Luke Skywalker yourself. Then you just had to go out (yes, I know, that’s the hardest part in the life of a nerd) and get yourself one of the games that had licensed movie content among them, and usually some crappy game as well. Although sometimes you would be surprised by actually real good games… -

My First Movie Poster
Posted in Art
It’s been more than eight months now since the student project MOSKAU (we also have a website) I was Head of VFX is finished. But since it was the practical project to my diploma thesis I needed to design a poster for it. So here it is, my first movie poster in cinematic 50 x 70 cm fresh out of InDesign and Photoshop. -

WALL·E vs. Taxi Driver
Posted in Animation, CGI & Rendering, Films, Rants, Reports, Reviews
I have much time on my hands in Berlin now so I’ve been to the movies. I watched two classics in a charming little theater in the Kastanienallee, Delicatessen and Taxi Driver and two current Hollywood blockbusters in the UCI Colosseum multiplex theater, WALL·E and Burn After Reading. I will not talk so much about the films themselves because that has already been done by people way more proficient than me. No, I will focus on my experiences around and inspired by the movies. With no spoilers, as usual. -

The Dark Knight
Posted in Dear Diary, Films, Rants, Reports, Reviews
I just came home from watching “The Dark Knight” in the UCI Colosseum in Berlin and I have to say: What a bunchload of crap! Really? No, of course not! This movie actually seems to me as one of the best super hero movies there can be — with a sophisticated story off the beaten tracks while staying true with the fans. Read on.

“Worst Episode Ever!”; The Simpsons Movie
Posted in Films, Reviews
Ever heard of Gilgamesh? He is the hero of the world’s oldest epic. Gilgamesh becomes a hero on his journeys. That pretty much sums up the Simpsons movie I went to see with Lisa and about 50 other people yesterday. Sitting in the third row of the Royal English Cinema was a better idea thanks to the fairly big screen and the comfortable seats. A short report of our experience follows below. No spoilers, as usual.

David Lynch’s INLAND EMPIRE
Posted in Films, Reviews
If you want to see a pair of tits in a non pornographic context then take an arts class or watch art films. Lisa and I went to see David Lynch‘s (not so) newest film INLAND EMPIRE (all caps) in the Rechbauerkino in Graz today (actually yesterday). Because these little artsy theaters don’t sell popcorn or nachos we went to the Cineplexx first, that was swamped with rednecks from the peripherals of Graz and got us a hunk of nachos with cheese and salsa for a bunch of money. Funny thing was that we even made it back downtown in time and got seats in the second row 1. And then INLAND EMPIRE started.Don’t worry! No spoilers ahead!
Read the rest…- The Rechbauerkino theater is fairly small so sitting in the second row is like sitting in the middle of a big theater ↩
