  • Pulp Fiction gets remixed... among other things.

    Tuesday, Oct 27, 2009 10:08PM / Members only

    Usually anyone sending any kind of YouTube 'mashup' my way will have me go 'meh...' within 10 seconds or less, unless it was done by some professional who actually have some talent in editing.

    Then this morning I saw this... I think it's the first time I can SEE the music. Pretty cool.
    But since it sounds much like half the music I listen too, all cut-outs and samples with other things, I was only mildly impressed (but it's a big step up from my usual reaction).  But as I said, it's the visual part that I thought was a nice addition. I've seen Hexstatic or Coldcut do that kind of things many times 15 years ago, but just not with that kind of material.

    Enjoy.

  • Random memory pop-up

    So I just posted this on my <a href="http://infernoartist.tumblr.com/">tumblr</a> so I thought I'd copy and paste it here for your enjoyment.

    I just remembered this thing… I guess about ten years ago, my housemate at the time asked to borrow my SLR (Nikon FM10 back then) for a location shoot (I think?). So he comes back at the end of the day, all surprised and tell me about something that just happened to him while riding the subway home (or was it on the street, shit, I forgot).

    Basically, some girl seeing his (mine!) camera, walked up to him…
    - You’re a photographer?
    - No, not really, I just borrow the camera from my friend for some location scouting.
    - Oh, that’s too bad, because I’ve been looking for someone to shoot some pictures of me, I had this idea where I’m posing naked wearing a red feather scarf.
    - I see, well, sorry, I can’t hardly use a camera.
    - Ok then, that’s a shame, because I didn’t want to pay for a professional, I just wanted some exchange of services for that idea I had.

    I couldn’t believe him.
    - You’re kidding, right?
    - No, man, she actually made me uncomfortable being so open about it.
    - And how was she like?
    - Not bad, average fairly good looking girl, hard to tell with the winter clothes but she was pretty enough.
    - And like, you didn’t think of bullshitting your way through or even better, give her my number?
    - Well, no, man, sorry, it didn’t cross my mind.
    - So you’re saying you acknowledged the fact it was my camera, but never thought I might be interested in the offer? Like you’re a fucking idiot or something?
    - Screw you, man.


    Keep in mind that was pre-2000 and affordable digital photography was still a few years away. Back in those days the only people our age you might come across using something else than a cheap plastic point-and-shoot were either photography students or really serious amateurs.

    And I’ve been walking around town almost all the time with that camera and I NEVER, EVER HAD ANYONE asking me anything about it. And that guy, THAT ONLY ONE DAY he walks around with it gets a decent looking chick ASKING HIM TO SHOOT HER NEKKID. And he turned her down.

    Shit, even my most open minded friend chickened out of their drunken promises of how they wanted to keep a photographic memory of how they looked in their early 20’s wearing nothing.

    So yes, just another example of how my life is one bizarre comedy, but I’m the only one not laughing.

    So I think Emmerich sucks, big time. His movies are so dumb and formulaic they make anything make Michael Bay look like Stanley Kubrick.

    But one thing is usually a sure shot is that the vfx are going to rock, and I hate myself for watching his work (although not all of it, thank God!) but still, blow up something in a convincing enough way and you're going to get at least some of my attention.

    Anyway, here's an uber-cool remix from the latest 2012 trailer.
    It's pretty much my exact thoughts about the movie too, so give that guy a medal or something.

    And I started a Tumblr account in order to brain dump all the things I enjoy from the intertubes without spamming my facebook account and annoy everybody. Or getting tons of bookmarks all over my browser. I'm not going to link it up here either otherwise you'll get updates five times a day.

    Here it is: Please, do not feed the (inferno) artist

    Yeah, got my Hasselblad roll processed the other week. Pretty happy with the results.

    But I got a problem finding models these days. Withing weeks of agreeing to shoot, both moved out of town, and in one case, out of Canada! D'oh. And my schedule is already busy and changing all the time so it's pretty hard spamming Model Mayhem and then go 'oh, sorry, not available'.



    And this one I took at some bizarre fair in some festival in the countryside. These dogs give me the creep...

    Sorry for the late reply: Hallyday's character does regular stunts that are still something that would hospitalize Grandpa, if you know what I mean.

    They'd hospitalize ME, and I'm 43.

    yeah the last time i heard about it, the director was supposed to be justin lin, then all of a sudden, it has become spielberg and smith. i checked imdb and looks like it's really on going.. but they seem to emphasize that it is an adaptation of the comic, but not the k-movie.

    I think I win the procrastination reward though, don't you agree Thomas? I'm going back to Montreal for the summer. Maybe I'll fix my blog up while I'm in la Belle Province! ...maybe not.

    I'd say this is better than Machine Girl, but not enough to buy it!

    I can't wait for Samurai Zombie. That movie will be great just by default. Samurai zombies... deal me in!
