This image visualises Lost In Translation beautifully; I want this as a poster now.
From for rainy days via FFFFOUND.
Update: Having searched around this appears to be the original image, which sadly is not available as a poster.

Black Swan
I can’t wait to see the new Darren Aronofsky film Black Swan.
The soundtrack is from regular Aronofsky collaborator Clint Mansell who has used Tchaikovsky’s music as a base for his; which sounds intriguing.
Every time I watch the trailer the hairs on my neck stand on end.
The Social Network Soundtrack
The Social Network is the recent film from David Fincher about the founding of Facebook.
Tim Van Damme recommended the soundtrack on Twitter, and at $5 – yes $5 – it seemed a veritable bargain; quick preview confirmed that to be so.
It’s a dark suite of electronica, which having since seen the film doesn’t quite fit at times, but somehow that works for this film – possibly due to the quality of the music in its own right.
I particularly like the version of In The Hall Of The Mountain King which accompanies a tilt-shift view of Henley Regatta in the film.
Highly recommended – download now.
Blade Runner Revisited
This is fantastic:
Details from Vimeo:
An experimental film in tribute to Ridley Scott’s legendary film “Blade Runner” (1982) This film was made as a unique picture with a resolution of 60.000 x 60.000 pixels (3.6 gigapixels) It was made with 167,819 frames from ‘Blade Runner’.
1. First step : the “picture” of the film
I extracted the 167,819 frames from ‘Blade Runner’ (final cut version,1h 51mn 52s 19i) then I assembled all these images to obtain one gigantic image of colossal dimensions : a square of approximately 60,000 pixels on one side alone, 3.5 gigapixels (3500 million pixels)2. Second step : an illusion
I placed a virtual camera above this big picture. So what you see is like an illusion, because contrary to appearances there is only one image. It is in fact the relative movement of the virtual camera flying over this massive image which creates the animated film, like a film in front of a projector.
