XOXO 2015

posted November 10, 2015 #

I'm going to block off some time in my schedule this week to dive into the XOXO 2015 talks . I wasn't able to make it to the festivities but I'm glad that I can still partake in seeing Alex Blumberg, Anil Dash, Zoe Quin, Lis Hanawalt, Rami Islamil and the list goes on. They haven't even posted all of the talks yet so it's worth subscribing to that channel or playlist to get the latest and greatest.

Dinosaur!

I have posted about the work of Phil Tippet previously but you likely know him from his animation scene work on Empire Strikes Back, Robocop and Jurassic Park. He's also got a series of short films called Mad God that's worth some peeper time if you're into practical effects and their recent resurgence.

He also just recently posted one of his first projects, two short films entitled Dinosaur! and Prehistoric Beast. They are gorgeous pieces of work and actually garnered Tippet Studios an Emmy for Special Visual Effects back in 1986. There's most certainly a Ray Harryhausen feel to much of it but coupled with a surprising realism.

Apologies for the exhortation, but listen to the excellent Patricia Arquette @marcmaron podcast compellingly decoding Lynch's Lost Highway

Netflix: if you do stuff you're a loser and deserve to have everything spoiled for you in an 8 episode show 24hrs after it's released.

Why would they make a word like "embarrass", which is inherently about shame, so hard to spell and do people like that?
