The Steven Spielberg post over at the Scanners blog has a really great dissection of action sequences from Spielberg and the recent Speed Racer and discusses to what end that arrangement of these shots leads, I really loved the "Letter to Hollywood" article: great advice that would help the film industry produce much better films and not waste so much money, and the Rube Goldberg Machine countdown was funny (you know all those crazy machines made by mad scientists?) I found the article about "Online Minority" interesting as I am one, and of course loved the list of "100 Best Movie Posters"! Hope you find something you'd like to read.
