What we’ve been reading – August 28th:
- Spotlight on Fake Movie Posters
One Sheets for movies that only exist within movies. Funny People and Inglourious Basterds, specifically. - Has 3D Failed already?
Dr. Bordwell and Kristin Thompson pontificate on the technology that is supposed to save Hollywood from rapid advances in Home Theatre and digital streaming and file-sharing. - Scarecrow Video Annotates Inglourious Basterds
A (likely) definitive list of films that are directly or tangentially referenced in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds by the employees of Scarecrow Video. "Thanks for reading, and remember us the next time some asshat tells you independent, brick & mortar video stores that employee real people are outmoded and in need of extermination by mail based corporations. "
I really recommend this article from Vern which is a response to director Joseph Kahn’s (Torque) blog post on race, Michael Bay, and District 9.
Best of all Joseph Kahn shows up in the comment section to carry the debate further. It’s not quite on par with the Demon Defalco incident but it’s a good one.
