Collect, say, 10 or 20 photos of Linsay Lohan. Crop each of them so that her nose is always in precisely the same place. Then animate them rapidly in sequence. Kinda hypnotic. [link])

I don’t remember much about my first time with David Lynch’s Eraserhead. I was quite young. What I do remember is that I suddenly understood that there was a difference between “watching a movie” and having a “cinematic experience.” Eraserhead was my first run in with the latter. It’s frightening, baffling and completely defies any attempts to classify or explain it. When the girl behind the radiator sings “In heaven, everything is fine.” my skin tries crawling right off my body. If you haven’t seen it, you probably should. Love it or hate it, you will never forget it.

I suddenly couldn’t care less about the wimpy Canon 5D I’ve been wanting. This sweet little 39 megapixel Hassy needs me. And only a touch over $37,000. Say cheese.

It came late to the market–so late, in fact, that by the time it launched, people were already declaring the product category dead. It offered no new technology–virtually every feature of the site was an imitation of something someone else had already done. It looked amateurish, lacking even the most basic level of visual consistency and appeal, never mind the high-gloss polish of its venture-backed competitors.

In Broken Flowers), Bill Murray says more by just sitting and staring at the camera for 30 seconds than many actors do yapping non-stop for two hours. An early scene showing Don Johnston (Bill) sitting on the sofa staring at a television is able to tell his whole story without saying a word. Directed by Jim Jarmusch, the film meanders along smoothly, spending most of its time on long, still shots of Don. Bill Murray is brilliant and I loved the film. Beware, if you’re one of the unfortunate souls who found Lost in Translation) too slow, then skip this one - but too bad for you.

I’m wondering, why photograph the Mona Lisa? There’s probably 6 dozen postcards in the lobby with high quality photos of the painting. Also, using a cell phone will guarantee that the image is going to suck and it will probably end up being deleting anyway. Or is everyone simply going to message friends with a quick “hey, I saw the Mona Lisa! See!”? Could be I’m just pissed I don’t have a camera phone, but I think that it’s more likely related to a vague sense of discomfort with the way images have become so disposable.
