Tomas Mankovsky; Fire vs Water = ‘the duel’

Nearly a year to the day, I found and wrote about an amazing short film by Tomas Mankovsky: Sorry I’m late He was kind enough to send across his new film, a promo made for the band Dancing Pigeons and Diesel called ‘the duel’. It’s a slow burner, and like ‘Sorry I’m late’ it’s absolutely amazing [...] posted: August 18th, 2010 | by: tomagotchi | perma: link | tags: , , | No Comments »

sex and the city: number 2

there was (almost) no ’sex’ and only flanked by 2 slivers of ‘city’. it was the sequel, so i can lend a single point for the title not being an outright lie. so, if it was no SATC- what was it? it was an aged barbie who goes to the desert with her 3 best doll [...] posted: June 1st, 2010 | by: lady worthington | perma: link | tags: , , , | 3 Comments »

a single man

i’ve just come back from islington’s cinema a little bit aglow with golden melancholia. golden, because noticing life’s tiniest pleasures seems to make me shine from the inside with something that i would describe as warm, golden light. the film delicately points out all the tiny, precious moments of care and blessings we should relish and [...] posted: February 13th, 2010 | by: lady worthington | perma: link | tags: , , , , | No Comments »

most recent female obsession: rose byrne

doe-eyed delight (and fellow aussie AND hackney resident) rose byrne is my latest female obsession. she’s the size of a french fry, but on screen her beauty and emotive portrayal of a young american teacher in the film “adam” moved me to tears (the kind that stream down your face). ok, so at the time [...] posted: November 2nd, 2009 | by: lady worthington | perma: link | tags: , , , , , | No Comments »

Eleven – A documenatary by Genevieve Bailey

I get very proud when friends of mine are doing such amazing things. the mind boggles. at least here I’m able to promote them, and feel like i’m in some way connected to their brilliance. Once such intrepid creative soul is fellow melbournite Genevieve Bailey. for the last 4 or so years she’s been traveling around [...] posted: August 16th, 2009 | by: tomagotchi | perma: link | tags: , , , , , , | No Comments »

halston doing it digi-chic

the Halston show at next week’s new york fashion week will be a little futuristic.  for autumn/winter 2009-10 the label has decided, instead of the traditional catwalk presentation, to show the collection via a digital music video concept. as budgets are being hacked with pinking shears, they figured not so many industry fashionistas will be traveling [...] posted: February 11th, 2009 | by: lady worthington | perma: link | tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , | No Comments »

maths and movies

Curious to see if there were any stark similarities or contrasts within particular films, Alan woo’s posters created in processing creates an incredibly simple, abstract output based purely on colour. Pie (if i understand correctly) takes and processes every frame of a film outputs a super cool pie chart with a gradient of all the colours [...] posted: November 21st, 2008 | by: tomagotchi | perma: link | tags: , , , , , , , | No Comments »
