The Painter's Sign

This is a fantastic stop motion animated short film, based on the game World of Goo. It builds nicely on the world developed in the game.

Moon

I love a good, brainy sci-fi film of the things-don't-blow-up variety. Unfortunately they just don't come out very frequently in this country. Movies like Primer and Solaris are few and far between, while abominations like Transformers spawn entire franchises. So I'm encouraged by the new trailer for Moon:

I love Sam Rockwell, and he's quite capable of carrying a movie by himself (especially if there are two of him). Moon looks like it will have some similarities with Solaris, which I think is an underrated film. I'm really looking forward to this one.

It has a great poster too:

Fantastic fresh hip hop at its old schooliest. Buy the album and kick it in your high tops.

Enviro-Bear 2000

The only time I ever regret not owning a PC is when some little nugget of interactive joy is released that, for whatever reason, chooses to ignore the vastly superior Macintosh. So, unless I finally snap and get Windows for my Macbook, I won't be playing Enviro-Bear 2000: Operation: Hibernation any time soon.

Which is a damn shame. Because judging by this screen shot alone, it could very well be the best game ever made:

I Continue To Love The Japanese
