- Starting this Wednesday and running until February 6th of next year, the MOMA is showing an incredible Pixar exhibition, in honor of their 20th anniversary (!). Not only will they be displaying over 500 works of art, including paintings, sculptures, and digital installations, they'll be screening a complete retrospective of Pixar's films, including all the shorts. Holy awesome animation overload, Batman. (Via Cinematical)
- I always knew it was true, but now we have the proof from a recent study: video games are good for you! Well, okay, not exactly; but people who play a lot of video games are better at multi-tasking, supposedly. I don't know if this holds true for myself. I guess I multi-task okay, but I really prefer to work on one thing until it's completely finished, and then move on to the next thing. I get flustered if I have more than a couple of tasks to do at the same time.
But the point is, video gaming makes us strong! Just like metal!
- Amongst the pictures of drinks and pin-up girls on the Bacardi website, you can now find the trailer for the new Miami Vice film. If you can drag your eyes away from the hot calendar models long enough to watch it, you'll discover that the trailer is actually pretty good, though short on any serious content. But it does look as if, as Cinematical points out, Mann is applying his usual style to it, and this will not be the regular campy, kitschy, postmodern retread of an old TV show; this will be a serious, violent film about drugs and cops and guns and rap music. Huh. I was not the least bit interested in this film before, but I have to say, I am now vaguely intrigued. Yes, Mann made the highly overrated Collateral, but he also made the rightly celebrated The Insider. Maybe this will be less like the former and more like the latter. We'll have to see...
- Another trailer which has successfully crossed the zero barrier and turned my negative interest in the film into positive interest is this one for Mission Impossible 3. It's intriguing and exciting, and has that great, catchy theme song to boot. Yes, the first movie was only marginally good, the second one bit the big one, and I now officially hate raving maniac/cultist/Svengali Tom Cruise, but still...maybe...this could be good!
