Video: Rain of Madness Trailer
Penguin August 26th, 2008
Rain of Madness is the mockumentary of the hilarious Tropic Thunder. It’s supposed to be available for free on iTunes, but I don’t use it.

The smell of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies brings back fond memories of when I was a child and would bake with my mum. It’s funny, because I feel so safe and loved whenever I get a whiff of it. And even just writing about it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
Now imagine if regular sensory experiences bring back memories of government secrets. As a Sensory Archiver, Andy Lipman uses his photographic memory to store these secrets, which can be retrieved by associated physical stimuli. For example, the sound of frying oil contains the results of illegal clinical drug trials in Southeast Asia, and Britain’s nuclear launch codes taste like economy pork sausages. But the memory that Andy wants to hold onto is the one that keeps slipping away—the memory of his love.
This British short film, And I Refuse To Forget, was directed and written by Nuru Rimington-Mkali. His short was entered in Filmaka and won! Now, Rimington-Mkali is working on making this into a feature-length movie.

Master Flynn runs a gym where members embody Star Wars characters to harness the Force and improve their lives. Little does everyone know how real the Force is.
I don’t know if this is a trailer for a real movie or a fake trailer. But it’s funny, none the less. It seems like trailers are becoming the new art form, mini-stories in themselves.

Great little trailer where they cut up American Psycho and turned it into a romantic comedy. It’s great to see Christian Bale come this far. If he continues this trajectory, he’ll be one of the great actors of our time.

I normally don’t post about video games, but this one stood out to me. The animation was done by Production IG, the same people who are responsible for Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and parts of Evangelion. Most games and computer animation in general, have a very particular style that looks computer generated. This was different. This really caught my eye.
I love the idea of using computers to render pencil drawings. I can’t help but wonder when they’ll be doing animation in ink, watercolors, or pastels. It really opens the doors for something beautiful and non-traditional. I also love the blend of technology and classic mediums.
If only they would animate a movie in this style.
