Sintel

Posted by Rampant Coyote on October 5, 2010

If you haven’t yet seen the short film Sintel on YouTube,  here it is: The coolest part? It was made by independent funding from donations, and was created using Blender – the free open-source 3D modeling package. In fact, the goal of the project was “to further improve and validate the free/open source 3D creation […]

Am I Becoming One of THOSE Guys?

Posted by Rampant Coyote on August 18, 2010

When I was a kid, I remember reading movie reviews in the paper (yes, that’s what we had to do back in those days, on actual paper even…) and being stunned at how the critics would pan the movies I thought were so awesome. Why, those guys were out-of-touch old-fart snobs who had obviously become […]

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: Scott Pilgim Wins!

Posted by Rampant Coyote on August 15, 2010

I knew nothing of this film until two days ago. So “Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World” was a total surprise to me. But I’m in love, now… This is one hell of a weird movie, but it totally rocked. Starting with the Universal logo rendered as an 8-bit video game image accompanied by the theme […]

Tron Legacy – New Trailer

Posted by Rampant Coyote on July 24, 2010

Awesome. Must be ComiCon time… Tron was one of those strangely influential movies of my childhood. I was already programming and writing some games by that time, but the coolness of the idea of virtual worlds, I guess… planted a seed and inspired me to really push into game development. I wanted to BE Kevin […]

Prince of Persia Movie: It Doesn’t Suck

Posted by Rampant Coyote on June 12, 2010

Color me surprised! We ended up seeing The Prince of Persia: Sands of Time movie last night after the showing of The Karate Kid we intended to see was sold out. And – surprisingly – I enjoyed it. Really. No, it’s not going to be one of my favorites (though the acrobatic action was a […]

Games as Art? I Thought I Saw That Horse Twitch!

Posted by Rampant Coyote on April 22, 2010

An actual chat yesterday Me: I am surprised that Ebert jumped back to repeat himself on this subject. I guess he wanted the publicity it gave him last time. Friend: Can’t blame him, really. It’s an interesting discussion point and gets him all kinds of free publicity all at once. Me: I can blame him! […]

Pixels

Posted by Rampant Coyote on April 13, 2010

I guess this one has been making the rounds on the Interwebs – had multiple people sending me this link. It’s another ludicrously awesome bit of amateur filmmaking: PIXELS by PATRICK JEAN. Uploaded by onemoreprod. – Arts and animation videos. Be careful about throwing away those older televisions! The one thing that bugged me about […]

Dr. Horrible – The 8-Bit Video Game

Posted by Rampant Coyote on April 7, 2010

It’s just… wrong. In a cool way. Though I imagine Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion might get a kick out of seeing themselves rendered as characters in an NES game. Okay, so I wouldn’t expect to see this as an actual playable game anytime soon. But it’s cool. And if you have absolutely no […]

TRON Legacy

Posted by Rampant Coyote on March 10, 2010

The real trailer is out. UPDATE: Better site here. (Thanks BadSector!) This actually looks like it could be pretty cool. The original was grilled ham-and-cheese-with-extra-cheese. But I loved it. A lot. I could blame it on the fact that I was a kid when it came out – a kid who had just discovered videogames […]
