Trailer Time: Page One, The Skin I Live In

*Pedro Almodóvar and Antonio Banderas on the set of The Skin I Live In

Literature, journalism and every other form of the printed word is at a crisis. The immediacy, ease, and convenience of the internet and the digital age proves to be such devastating competition that the the publishing and journalism worlds have been in a constant whirlwind of change to keep up with it. And even The New York Times is no different. Or so the documentary Page One shows....

Movie Geek Evolution

The Droid You Are Looking For has put out a chart defining The Six Stages of Movie Geek Evolution. And yeah, for as witty as it is in mocking the traits of the typical film-goer, its so humorously and painfully all true.

For me at least, I've definitely hit all 6 of these stages. But my one complaint with it is that the stages suggests defining borders between each stage, as if each new stage suggests a complete shedding of the preceding one. But I feel like a little bit of all of these types of cinephilia are part of my overall movie-watching experience. They aren't independent of each other, they complement each other. And I think/hope, that I'm the better for it.

GeekArt: Cyclops, Stay Puft, and X-Muppets

Here's a graphic tee from BustedTees. It's fashionable AND gives further reason to not support 3-D technology - it's racist. Check out a few more geeky artworks ahead.

'Arry Pottah's 1-4: Comix style

NYC and the movies

Crudely made though it may be, this little piece of artwork makes the film geek in me all giddy inside. With 91 movies that take place in New York depicted in one form or another, I like to play the game of "Name that Movie." There's also a numbered version that shows each film, but not what it is. But that's less fun. Here's what I got on my first shot.

Trailer Time: HP 7.5. Submarine, y señor Will Ferrel

Let's start of this edition of Trailer time with one that half the world and their mom have probably seen already: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, or as I like to call it, Harry Potter 7.5. As a long-time HP fan of the books and the movies (films 1 and 2 - I am NOT talking about you) I am both excited for and dreading the last entry in the beloved series. For what else can capture the hearts and minds of peoples all around the world for the good part of almost 15 years? (Twilight, I am NOT talking about you) That being said, 7.5 is looking just as grand and epic as we all hope it to be. Check it out after the jump
