Much and all as I like thought provoking low budget movies in foreign languages, I always have room for a big blockbuster in my schedule now and again. This summer has a lot of “big” movies coming up. Here are a few of the trailers to whet your appetite. (There is no trailer for Avatar …

Bathtub IV from Keith Loutit on Vimeo. After reading a bit about it I understand what tilt-shift photography is, but I still don’t understand how it fools my brain into thinking what I’m seeing isn’t real when clearly it is. I was sure when I watched the video above for the first time that is …

Seeing is believing! This is the $194,000 Terrafugia Transition. We’re obviously a long way off from this being normal in any sense, but I’d love to see this catching on. See more images and the video of the car transforming into the plane on Jalopnik. [Via Jalopnik]

Having not gotten into Peep Show properly yet I wouldn’t call myself a fan of Robert Webb. In fact he’s one of those people that I have a mild dislike of for no apparent reason. Here though he channels his inner Dr. Frank-N-Furter for Comic Relief’s dance program and it’s hard not to laugh. Good …

Everything, Everything by Underworld is one of my favourite DVD’s of all time. Painstakingly put together over the course of a year, sliced together from lots of different performances around the world, the band constructed what they thought was the best possible re-creation of one of their live gigs for home watching and listening. They …

The Pet Shop Boys do their greatest hits in 10 minutes at the Brit Awards 2009, along with Lady Gaga and Brandon Flowers! [Update 22/02/09] Apparently this medley was produced by Stuart Price aka Jacques Lu Cont, but I need to verify that somewhere. You will get the audio of this a bonus track if …

I know this has been mentioned everywhere today but just in case you live under a rock, this is Fever Ray’s new song When I Grow Up. Fever Ray is Karin Elisabeth Dreijer Andersson, vocalist from the Knife (as if you couldn’t tell!). [Via OhhCrapp]
