- LAIKA presents Wildwood: The Exhibition designmuseum.org
Our household is looking forward to Wildwood. We'll be heading to this exhibition if we can make it down to London before January.
Via It's Nice That.
Step behind the scenes of LAIKA's latest stop-motion film and explore how a world is built through original props, sketches, puppets, miniature sets, and more.
Yet beyond Cruise’s usual acolytes, there are plenty of people who might well have been keen to see Digger if they’d known what it really was: an ambitious, meta-textual liberal satire that seeks to address collective culpability for ecological collapse. Unfortunately all of the promotion for the film has sought to suppress this – in part because explaining how necessitates revealing a key plot spoiler.

- SKF advert review – let’s hope this dull AI Greta Garbo is not the future | The Guardian theguardian.com
The AI Greta Garbo is a bizarre soignée figure, a Stepford robo-star, a Hallmark-greeting-card parody of the icy hauteur, distraite sensuality and deadpan comedy that Garbo projected in life. The AI Garbo is like the classiest ever presenter of a TV shopping channel, purring her way through a dull and humourless script that seeks to create a brand synergy between the frictionless ball-bearings manufactured by SKF and what the company imagines to be Garbo’s own all-important smoothness.
Closest fit to my reading but thought it wasn't quite as ambiguous as they'd hoped.
- Cultural Stasis Produces Fewer Cheesy Relics like Rocky IV culture.ghost.io
A major part of cultural stasis, then, may stem from most artists refusing to embrace contemporary aesthetic choices. In fact, I would argue that the Nineties ushered in a paradigm of rationalized, naturalistic aesthetics anchored in the meta-knowledge that artworks have a longer shelf life when they feel “real” and avoid mannerist/over-indulgent faddish aesthetics.
- Is the Latest Daredevil Shake-Up a Sign Marvel TV Will Be ‘Born Again’ — Again? | Rotten Tomatoes editorial.rottentomatoes.com
Edgar Wright and Dolby Cinema announced that a never-before-seen version of Universal Pictures' 2010 hit cult classic Scott Pilgrim vs. The World will be coming to theaters on April 30. The film has been reimagined in Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos and will play exclusively at Dolby Cinema locations in the U.S. for one week only. "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World was designed for the big screen and for the best sound systems," said Edgar Wright, the film's director, producer, and co-screenwriter. "To be able to see it with the best specs is obviously any filmmaker's dream. You want people to see it as good as it could possibly be. I suspect that if you're a fan of the movie, you're going to get such a kick out of seeing it like this."
Maybe one day this will be shown outside the U.S., too.

- Alien | Typeset In The Future typesetinthefuture.com
My third post about typography in sci-fi has been gestating for a while now...
These kinds of films aren’t entertaining anymore; they’re offensive. Yet they sit side-by-side among countless clones, bullets in the chamber, cogs in wheels in the monstrous Movie Marketing machine — operating within the supercolossal Entertainment Industry — which only cares about money and formula and self-protection. No wonder the industry is dying. For our parts, as moviegoers, we are partly culpable for legitimizing these projects, in which innovation, risk, and surprise are next to nil, by continuing to buy their tickets.
I'll probably watch it anyway.
