A Topiary needs about $20mil and The Modern Ocean much more (according. to him). You can’t raise that much money via crowdfunding.

I see nothing wrong with her art. If the same art would be produced by an unknown person, people would comment on its post-modernism, and how it fully captures our consumerist and cheap cultural society. But because she's Miley, and she didn't come up with a Michelangelo-type sculpture (which is the unspoken golden…

As someone who is NOT a celiac, and lived with 10 years with IBS without knowing what was the culprit (doctors don't usually test for wheat sensitivity, only for celiac), I can attest to this article. It was gluten sensitivity, and ONLY after I moved to the US. Apparently, in Greece we still use the older varieties of…

I applaud Jackson (and Cameron) for going for high frame rates. The 24p must die. There's nothing "magical" about it, as some filmmakers claim. It was just for financial and technology restraints in the early '30s that we got 24p. The problem is that when you see all movies in 24p and then you watch them in 48 or 60…

While this is the artist's decision, I don't like how the astronaut is posing in the pictures. He's like taking card postal snapshots to show others that the planet he visited was bare. He feels like a tourist rather than an explorer. Unless that was the artist's intention (to have his astronaut be a tourist rather…

Apparently, only one image was commissioned by NASA, according to the artists (I emailed them asking for the license on the images, and they graciously replied).

As someone who spent 10 years being very sick from gluten intolerance and IBS (and tests would NOT show it, since I'm not a celiac — so I didn't know what was wrong with me), I say that regulation is needed, but not at the level is described in the article. You see, I come from Europe. I only became sick 3 months…

This article is misleading, because it doesn't take the whole cycle of the diet into account. Yes, if you take lots of D3 and you get to a high level of D3 in your body, you're going to absorbed more calcium (Mg and K2 also help in the absorption of calcium btw, I take all 3). But all that's fine…

Are you sure about this? The Digic 5 does not have aliasing anymore because it supposedly doesn't skip lines like the Digic 4 did. Sure, the actual measurable resolution is not amazing, but the reports online say that there's not line skipping anymore.

I would recommend local, raw and unfiltered honey. All three conditions must be true for this to work. The local pollen included in the honey will "train" the immune system to not overreact. Be aware though, some people react to honey's pollen as much as from flowers, so be careful with that. But if you can tolerate…

I agree. The video needed a bit more abstraction, not so literal in some scenes, and a bit more dreamy too.

Guys, I was NOT talking about zooming, stop replying about zooming and cropping. I was talking about using the rest of the original ultra-widescreen film to show more, in 16:9 — as long as crew and gear are not visible, of course.

Anyone knows if it's going to be in 16:9 or 4:3? The sample pictures of the update seem to be in 4:3, but I really hope I'm wrong. Even if it won't match the original 4:3, I'd still like it to be 16:9.

While I don't disagree that he may be into drugs (I can't know), I don't think that all this excitement comes from drugs. I believe that he's genuine when he talks this way (fast, stuttering, waving arms — I'm like that too when I talk about stuff I love, and I know I'm clean). I've seen him talk about music,…

I'd suggest you also look at John Maus' excellent album "We Must Become the Pitiless Censors of Ourselves", one album that actually is currently present on many "best album of the year" lists on various blogs (Pitchfork had it as a "honorable mention"). It's sci-fi synthpop of sorts. Songs to check out: "Quantum Leap"…

I personally can't stand mainstream pop, so I guess I'm one of those who the algorithm was not written about. Indie music has some amazing songs that will never become hits, but they are so much superior to mainstream pop. Look for LesVilles' "Tr33s" song on Bandcamp for example. Or FiveNG's "Skin". Or John Maus, from…

I can see colors or pictures when I listen to certain music, and I see numbers as colors. I'd say that this is mostly a form of synesthesia though, not sure if it's the same as what the article suggests. This is my Radiohead's KID-A article, in a way that only I can see and feel it: [eugenia.queru.com]

I don't like Fringe. Very unrealistic, and I don't mean the sci-fi plot (which is fine for the most part), but the characters and dialog and type of shooting (I'm a filmmaker myself btw).

"Once Upon a Time" really is a pretty ridiculous, old style show, under the guise of "modern" and supposedly LOST-influenced (unfortunately that influence is skin-deep). I was a big LOST fan up to season 5 so I expect a lot out of the two screen writers, but I watch this show mostly because of the excellent Robert…

I would like to see a "Top Free" list on Google Music Market, right now only the ones that are paid are showing up in the charts. If an indie band puts their whole album for free, and it happens to be so good that people downloading it en-mass, this must show up in the charts!
