Farewell : Antonioni
Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni, whose depiction of alienation made him a symbol of art-house cinema with movies such as “Blow-Up” and “L’Avventura“, has died at the age of 94. Antonioni depicted alienation in the modern world through sparse dialogue and long takes. Along with Federico Fellini, he helped turn post-war Italian film away from the…
Blade Runner turns 25
Twenty-five years ago, the Ridley Scott film Blade Runner became an instant science fiction classic. Set in a sodden, squalid Los Angeles of 2019, the neo-noir masterpiece influenced a generation of filmmakers and video-game designers. Scott’s cyberpunk gem almost instantly became the most important film in the canon of movies people like me love. Admittedly,…
Flatland
This is one of my favorite books of all time! Edwin Abbott wrote the story in 1884 and it stands as a great epic to this day. I first read it while living in Chapel Hill and recently discovered it on YouTube recreated as a somewhat crude animation: = c

Lucas’ network infrastructure trumps world
Given the cult-film status of 1971’s THX 1138 in the George Lucas universe, it should come as little surprise that the total capacity of Lucasfilm’s giant data center is 11.38 petabits per second. Granted, that number–which represents the value one would get by adding up the bandwidth capacity of all the company’s 1 gigabit per…
