Extreme tension

Found this on someone else's blog, and I think it's magnificent. The tension starts to ache after a certain period, but it's worth watching. I do however wish it was longer, but the editing with the music is masterful, especially at the climax... Enjoy.

Audrey Hepburn & her pet fawn Pippin

These prints of Audrey Hepburn and her pet fawn (named Pippin) was a real find, I somehow came by them on Etsy.com, and I'm in love with them... Sad to say the prints are sold, but to be honest i'm just as happy to have seen them, even if not in their full glory.

It's always been curious to me how classic movie actresses such as Hepburn managed to keep their elegance, beauty and poise in almost any situation, it's hard to find that with modern actresses... Well, that's an opinion anyway: you can start paying attention again.

It turns out she had this pet faun in 1958 -1959, around the time of filming Green Mansions, these images document her home relationship with Pippin, and even out shopping! It's just a great peek into some of the more surreal aspects of popular culture around the time, maybe it's very well known, but it's new to me, and I like it. I want a Fawn now.

Here are the shots, as ever click for a large version, and there's a link at the bottom.

Movie Posters

So I'm fascinated by movie posters. Old, new, cult, mainstream, I love 'em. For some reason, the art of capturing a whole movie's essence in one still is an amazing thing.
I recently stumbled on a website, wrongsideoftheart.com which is a great source for B-Movie and exploitation posters from 1910 - present day. Don't get me wrong, I love mainstream posters - they can be just as stimulating, but this has some real gems on it.

Example of some of the sexploitation/blaxploitation on offer.

Then, the other day, a good friend of mine Mr. Bage sent me a link to a series of movie posters created by a fusion of Tarantino, The Weinstein Company & The Upper Playground art gallery for Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds (2009), to be signed and auctioned to raise money for the recent Haiti disaster.
They are incredible and deserva a good looking through, each has it's own style and you can imagine how, in conjunction with the film and context make for a visual treat.
Here they are, but it's work checking them out here for the higher resolutions.

I'm always admiring movie posters, official, unofficial, you know the drill. I'll keep it posted.

Wait, what?

So I figure something like this might be a good place to keep some of the links and images I find and love, as well as things I create, but we'll see how that goes.
However I find myself in a constant melange of disgust & intrigue at the flood of Indie female teenagers with blogs, mindlessly pumping leopard-printed drivel through blogging. Occasionally there are some gems, people with fascinating lives, opinions, dreams. It's like 1%, but they're there.
I'm in no way saying this is how I'll be, i'll be lucky to be in the other 99% if i'm honest!
Let's see how it goes, shall we?
