Take off the suit and if you want to go one-on-one, two-on-one, and put a couple of you guys together—they all like to put the comic book characters together—come at me.

“They exist at the intersection of humanity and technology.” - Whitney

While they bring the lighting and video trappings of large “arena” bands like U2 and Coldplay, Radiohead differs greatly in that they have not settled on a formula. On stage, in front of 20,000 people, they are still artists, experimenting, creating, and enjoying.

Live, Johnny Greenwood stands out the most (particularly post Blood) as a musical impresario, hopping from instrument to tool to computer to instrument, evoking from a guitar unholy and beautiful sounds. Thom Yorke stretches his voice still, from falsetto to almost spoken voice at times, and Ed O’Brien will not hesitate from putting his guitar on the ground and tweaking it on his knees.

Even though I had to rush away to the airport, the band again delivered an “experience,” the elusive feeling a great live show causes where you feel you saw something special and unique yet somehow universal. In short, art, really fucking enjoyable art.

A nice little short by Rian Brick Johnson that mixes La Jetee with a bit of David O. Russell in Johnson’s unique visual style.

brothersbloom:

“The Psychology of Dream Analysis,” a little DV short my cameraman Steve Yedlin and I made six years ago, before Brick. Presented with not a little self doubt for your enjoyment.

Autosave would be amazing if it weren’t so g.d. annoying.

Plot has killed script. Back in the day plot was a slightly sketchy framework for character development. The scripts I read now, the characters are there to supply the plot. It’s all to do with a misguided idea that the function of cinema is somehow to be realistic. I think the function of cinema is to be poetic and magic and original.

— I don’t always agree with Mike Figgis’ films (I mean, come on, Timecode?), but this is pretty on the money.

Photos from my cousin’s wedding last month have posted online. For some reason, in all of the one-shots of me for the wedding party I have a half-cocked smile that would make Harrison Ford grimace.
