Paranorman (2012)

Nice stop-motion film (by the makers of Coraline) of a bullied buy who talks to ghosts and have to save his town.

Good humor

Brave (2012)

Amusing and beautiful film, though story wise it missed the Pixar magic. Somehow Wall-y, though not an exceptional story by itself, had it. This one, not so much.

Yael Naim - "Go to the river"

Happy music with an old fashioned tinge.

Pupajim / Stepart - "Another night"

Melodic rap with a clear synth sound.

Mekanik Kantatik - "My piano is crying"

Estranged song about a sad piano. Crazy and wonderful.

Another song by the elusive Mekanik Kantatik.

Gomez - "How We Operate" (How We Operate)

Dark, catchy.
What does this remind me of??

Eels - "Bombs Away" (Wonderful Glorious)

Sexy, swinging.

Hjaltalín - "Suitcase Man" (Terminal)

Strange, fast staccato rhythm. Curious.

Control (Anton Korbijn)

Impressive film. Black and white photography is beautiful, as to be expected.

Ian Curtis is not a hero nor a madman. Very human with simply extraordinary capabilities.

Mighty Mike - "Imagine a Jump"

Crazy version of "Imagine". Love it.

Caravan - "Where But For Caravan Would I?"

70's feeling, including mental organ!

Jenny O. - "Hey Neighbour"

Girly voice happy-go-lucky song. Amusing.

The Tower is an object which sees, at a glance which is seen

amazing cut-copy (?) photography of the Eifeltower

Mad Max I, II and III

Fun to watch again, particularly II, though it wasn't as "mad" as I remember.

And who would know his last name is Rockatansky?

III is quite over the top, unfortunately. It looses the estranged feeling of I and II.

Minutes versus hours

We imagine the world in a different way. As of 1980, English fiction contains more references to minutes than to hours. Clockmakers have changed the language.

Alex Parker: Worlds: The Kepler Planet Candidates

http://vimeo.com/47408739

This animation shows the 2299 high-quality (multiple transits), non-circumbinary transiting planet candidates found by NASA's Kepler mission so far. These candidates were detected around 1770 unique stars, but are animated in orbit around a single star. They are drawn to scale with accurate radii (in r / r* ), orbital periods, and orbital distances (in d / r*). They range in size from 1/3 to 84 times the radius of Earth. Colors represent an estimate of equilibrium temperature, ranging from 4,586 C at the hottest to -110 C at the coldest - red indicates warmest, and blue / indigo indicates coldest candidates.
