Inception prequel comic online – The Cobol Job

July 19, 2010July 19, 2010 drsquid Christopher Nolan, Comic, Crystal Reid, Inception, Joe Ng, Long Vo, Online, prequel, Toronto, Udon, Udon Comics, web1 Comment

Even though I read about this ‘prequel’ comic before I saw Inception (twice!) this weekend I didn’t read it immediately. You see I was attempting a media blackout of all information about the movie, so I would go into the theater knowing as little as possible about the film. After seeing the film, I can tell you that the comic spoils nothing, especially if you have already seen some the trailers, and know a little about the film’s premise. The comics is written by Jordan Goldberg, one of the co-producers…

Is UP just a rip off of Gran Torino? You decide.

The Social Network – trailer

July 15, 2010 Doug Groves Aaron Sorkin, David Fincher, facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, The Social Network, trailer1 Comment

We don’t post a lot of movie trailers here, but the first full length trailer for David Fincher’s “The Social Network”, about the rise of Facebook, is certainly worth it, just from a craftsmanship point of view. The choice of a choral version of “Creep” by Radiohead is brilliant. It also helps that the script (from the novel by Ben Mezrich) is written by the master of behind-the-scenes walking – talking character dramas, Aaron Sorkin.

Alan Moore Interview at The Quietus

Alan Moore certainly doesn’t need an introduction to readers of RGB Filter. The prolific and literary comics writer who altered the superhero landscape with Watchmen almost 25 years ago, and continues to push the boundaries to this day. The Quietus has put online an interview with Alan Moore that originally ran in their sister publication The Stool Pigeon. The interview is a great read, that goes wide afield from the typical comic interview, and I highly recommend it. Everybody is becoming [a superhero]. In the past I’ve tried to say,…

Sony Announces New Interchangeable Lens Camcorder

It’s not surprising that with all attention HD video-capable DSLRs have been getting, companies like Canon and Panasonic have enjoyed a surge of popularity of their HD-DSLR/HD-EVIL (Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens) cameras. Now, they’ve also announced that they are planning on stuffing those gorgeous APS-C and 4/3s sensors into their next-gen camcorders. But they’re still much in development and won’t be in the market until 2011 at the earliest. In the meantime, Sony has jumped into the fray and has them done one better.

Cowboy Ninja Viking review

July 13, 2010July 13, 2010 Peter Brunton AJ Lieberman, Comics, Cowboy Ninja Viking, Image Comics, review, Riley Rossmo3 Comments

Writer: AJ Lieberman Artist: Riley Rossmo Publisher: Image Three Kinds of Badass… Literally… When a man tries to sell me a comic book called Cowboy Ninja Viking – about a hero who is a cowboy, a ninja, and a viking, at the same time – you might say that he is working from an advantaged position. When said comic is about a secret project by the US government to weaponise multiple personality disorder in order to create super-soldiers for the war on terror… well, I’m fairly sure my wallet was…

There’s a TV for that – Samsung’s Connected TV message

July 12, 2010July 14, 2010 Doug Groves Connected TV, LinkStick, Samsung, Samsung Apps1 Comment

First shown off at CES back in January, it appears that Samsung is ready to make a huge push in the TV market with their web applications on newer model TV sets and Blu Ray players, under the name ‘Samsung Apps‘, not to be confused with the mobile phone Samsung Apps. To sell the point to consumers, they’re making a play on Apple’s “There’s an app for that” iPhone advertising, which, while not the most original approach, will probably resonate with consumers used to the ubiquitous phrase. This is…

Flying saucer on Roswell ranch captures international imagination

July 8, 2010 Doug Groves Aliens, cover up, i want to believe, pop culture, Project Mogul, Roswell, weather balloon6 Comments

It was 63 years ago today, on July 8th 1947, that the Roswell Daily Record ran the headline “RAAF Captures Flying Saucer On Ranch in Roswell Region”, which launched the most well-known UFO ‘cover up’ in modern history. Subsequently, the crash was attributed to that of a Project Mogul balloon loaded with crash test dummies and designed to detect Soviet atomic test blasts. Of course, one has to wonder why there would be crash test dummies on what’s supposed to be a high altitude, unmanned balloon, but outside of that…

RED squashes major bug, EPIC and Scarlet back on track

After a major delay to a major bug in their new designs, RED is back on track with the EPIC and Scarlet cameras. Originally estimated to come out in 2009, the delays on the new digital cinema cameras were hitting ValveTime levels of unpredictability. RED founder Jim Jannard had this to say in a post last night… …we have located the wicked, mean and nasty bug and our engineering team has put a bullet in the back of it’s head. That pesky bug has put us behind in our schedule…
