FILM: INGLORIOUS BASTARDS

Inglorious Bastards is a 1978 Italian film directed by Enzo G. Castellari. Originally titled "Quel maledetto treno blindato"(literally translated as That damned armored train and released as in the USA under the Bastard's title. Starring Bo Svenson, Peter Hooten, Fred Williamson, Michael Pergolani, and Jackie Basehart.





Set in Europe during World War II, a group of American soldiers are in the process of being shipped off to military prison for a variety of infractions, ranging from desertion to murder. While they're being transported, a German air attack hits the convoy, killing most of the MPs and enabling five of the prisoners to escape. The group decides their best bet is to head to neutral Switzerland, where they can avoid the fighting and prison. As they make their way to what they think will be freedom, they end up volunteering for a commando mission to steal the new prototype gyroscope for the Nazi V2 with help of the French Underground. Somehow the team must sneak onto the most heavily guarded train in German territory, steal the Nazis' most precious military hardware, and bring it back to the Allies without getting arrested again by their own side.



Quentin Tarantino did a remake of this film that'll be out this summer.

This is his first film since his Grindhouse collaboration with Robert Rodriguez. With Brad Pitt taking on a role in the upcoming flick it'll be exciting to see what Mr. Tarantino has up his sleeve with this one...peep the trailer below

VHS / DIGI Manipulation/MAGNETIZED Confusion: KANYE X CHAIRLIFT

As a director I look at music videos as a way of pushing boundaries visually and artistically on a smaller scale than a feature or short. Only some artist have the videos that actually do so...Kanye West is one of em' . His latest for his song "Welcome to Heartbreak" uses a weird effect that I slept on til just this morning. The effect is pretty much summed up in the title of this post, it is also used in Chairlift's "Evident Utensil", peep both vids below and see for yourself....

NEWS: NO MORE MTV! (EMBEDDED)

When it comes to video sharing an embed code is the necessary tool to do so. But media giant MTV has decided to pull the plug on the luxury, which means if you want to see a MTV video you have to go to their site. Im sure this will frustrate all the bloggers who rely on MTV content to provide dope post to their readers, guess now they just got to link it, expect this to go in effect sometime in March
