It's fair to say that he had an idea of the look of the film — shot by shot — in place before the cameras ever rolled. He probably saw the actual shooting process as a nuisance.<br />
<br />
Above are storyboard for the climax of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Saboteur</span> (I hope I don't need to include a spoiler warning for a movie made in the 1940s.) Compare the level of detail present in those panels to that of the one below, a short of crucial scene from <span style="font-weight: bold;">Psycho</span>.<br />

There is a lot of rapid editing in the famous "shower scene" and it's surprising that few people notice.<br />

As you've probably noticed there haven't been that many post around here lately. That's because I've been working on a new blog devoted to the cult television show <b>DARK SHADOWS</b> and its anti-hero <b>Barnabas Collins</b>. The website is called <b><a href="http://www.collinsporthistoricalsociety.com/">The Collinsport Historical Society</a></b> and features original artwork, classic newspaper and magazine clippings and the occasional interview. You can find the website at <b>www.collinsporthistoricalsociety.com</b>.

<br />
One small step for man, one giant leap for Lego kind ...</div><br />
<a href="http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/technology/2012/01/teens-send-lego-man-into-space/">From ABC News</a><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">A Lego man went on one wild ride when two Canadian teenagers attached the toy to a homemade weather balloon, complete with video cams, and launched it into the stratosphere.</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><br />
Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad, two 17-year-olds from outside Toronto, designed and built a helium weather balloon for the Lego man‘s joyride, according to the Toronto Star. They mounted four different cameras to the contraption to record it all, and sent the toy into the atmosphere, where it climbed to an estimated 80,000 feet.<br />
<br />
The tiny toy, holding an even tinier Canadian flag, cleared the Earth’s atmosphere during the 97-minute journey and captured astonishing footage of the Earth from above.<br />
<br />
“We didn’t really believe we could do it until we did,” Ho told the Star, which first reported on the teens’ project Wednesday.<br />
<br />
The humble experiment began four months ago and was completely homespun, according to the Star. On a budget of $500, Ho and Muhammad scoured Craigslist for cameras, sewed their own balloon parachute at Muhammad’s mother’s sewing machine, bought the necessary pieces online, and then assembled it all, using a Styrofoam box as the base.<br />
<br />
The teens were able to recover the Lego man and cameras, which landed approximately 75 miles from the Toronto park where they launched it, thanks to a cell phone’s GPS app they affixed to the device.</blockquote></div>Cousin Barnabashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12100748097966533023noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3094113465443886248.post-83658886162587281952012-01-24T12:39:00.000-05:002012-01-24T12:39:25.719-05:00Darth Maul Me<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfuWb1diQ5T0FYff5nbxNU9hXszTVsOEuj-2USUxN5PhSX4mYLaNJ_lEJxyvmcUBHvsCMZRsCcAwFbldvQMnik0GaRgqXGsIVs1oGdvQ7a89SMzu5VucuYzD9Z3luUAr_jETs25Deq5aA/s1600/dmme.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfuWb1diQ5T0FYff5nbxNU9hXszTVsOEuj-2USUxN5PhSX4mYLaNJ_lEJxyvmcUBHvsCMZRsCcAwFbldvQMnik0GaRgqXGsIVs1oGdvQ7a89SMzu5VucuYzD9Z3luUAr_jETs25Deq5aA/s400/dmme.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
And while I'm burning those Star Wars bridges ... <br />
<br />
Lucasfilm has <a href="http://www.starwars.com/play/online-activities/darth-maul-me/">a new feature on their website</a> that allows you to add Darth Maul's tattoo designs to personal photos. I haven't tried it yet and have no idea how well it works, but it's also available as a <a href="http://androidcommunity.com/darth-maul-me-app-prepares-you-to-disembowel-jedis-20120124/">Droid App</a> (which seems appropriate.)<br />

No offense, but some Star Wars fans are <a href="http://www.area755.com/images/32.jpg">crazy </a><a href="http://www.moviecritic.com.au/userimages/user624_1160962012.jpg">assholes</a> who have gone so far down the rabbit hole of narco-fantasy that they've lost all touch with reality. Don't like the Star Wars prequels? Fine. Move on with your life. That's what healthy, well-adjusted people do.<br />
<br />
What healthy, well-adjusted people don't do is spend a decade of their lives on message boards as part of some Punisher-esque quest for moral vengeance and/or superiority. I found the <a href="http://greenlanternmovie.warnerbros.com/dvd/">Green Lantern</a> movie to be a serious disappointment, but I don't feel the need to convince people who enjoyed it that they're misguided fools, "apologists" or whatever else the latest meme involves. When you deal with Star Wars fans you often get a quick reminder that "fan" is short for "fanatic" and I've got no patience for Jedi Fundamentalists.<br />
And I understand that blogging about your love of the Star Wars Prequels is the equivalent of walking into a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_handling">Pentecostal </a>church in rural Mississippi while wearing a "God is Dead" shirt, but so be it.<br />
<br />
Which brings me to my point: <a href="http://www.starwars.com/">The Phantom Menace</a> is returning to theaters next month in 3-D, and I can't wait. And Lucasfilm is offering up some interesting paraphernalia to go along with some of these screenings: 3-D glasses that look like Anakin's podracing goggles. Here's the press release:<br />

Given enough time, I guess ANYTHING can become less threatening. Disney (NO FUCKING SHIT .... <i><b>DISNEY</b></i>) is selling <a href="http://www.disneystore.com/tees-clothes-waves-mickey-mouse-tee-for-adults/mp/1295574/1000228/">a t-shirt mash-up of Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures album and Mickey Mouse</a>. I have violently mixed feelings about this product ... which you've probably picked up on. I'm not "drink a bottle of wine, listen to some Iggy Pop and see where the day takes me" kind of upset ... but still. Disney? <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unknown_Pleasures">Really</a>?<br />

Above is audience video from the Jan. 19 <a href="http://www.cinefamily.org/films/tv-tuesdays/">Cinefamily </a>event, <b>The Glass Teat</b>, the second half of a live interview of Harlan Ellison by screenwriter <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0647939/">John Olson</a>. The event was a continuation of a program held last last November which, after three hours, only managed to cover the first half of Ellison's career in television.<br />
<br />
When they brought him back last week, Patton Oswalt (<a href="http://guy.com/a/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/patton-oswalt.jpg">do I really need to tell you who he is?</a>) was in the audience and briefly hijacked the interview from Olson.

It was my plan to ignore the whole Rebecca Black thing until it went away. But when Darth Vader showed up on Youtube singing that dreadful piece shit "Friday" I decided to lift my embargo just his once.
