The Shoes - Time to Dance

Interesting timing after American Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis’ recent twitter musings on where Bateman’s interests and targets would lie at present.

Prophets of Science Fiction

There are some writers who you would swear must be able to see directly into the future. Even if only through a scanner, darkly, these authors of speculative fiction seem to be looking over your shoulder from the past and reading the headlines from today.

Filmmaker Ridley Scott brings together scientists, writers and other thinkers to honor these Prophets of Science Fiction in a new TV series premiering Wednesday at 10 p.m. Eastern/Pacific on Science. Each episode focuses on a writer who helped explain and expand the world of science through the use of fiction. The series will use film clips, reenactments, illustrations and interviews with top thinkers — including RoboCop director Paul Verhoeven and theoretical physicist Michio Kaku — to tell the story of the author, and the modern-day scientific implications of what they wrote. - Jason Cranford Teague, WIRED.com

Produced by Ridley Scott. Episodes feature profiles on Mary Shelley, Isaac Asimov, H.G. Wells, Philip K. Dick, Jules Verne, Arthur C. Clarke, Robert Heinlein, and George Lucas, and their influence on modern and future science.

SE7EN

Title Designer: Kyle Cooper

“Main title designer Kyle Cooper has been credited as the man who single-handedly revitalized the main title sequence as an art form. His groundbreaking title sequence for Se7en (1995) changed the way we look and think about title design today and is arguably the most imitated main title ever made. The Se7en title sequence was hailed by New York Times Magazine as “One of the most important design innovations of the 1990s”.” - Watch the Titles

Other notable titles by Kyle Cooper include: The Walking Dead, Spider-Man, American Horror Story, Donnie Brasco, Iron Man, and Sherlock Holmes.

Raging Bull opening title sequence:

“I didn’t understand what the ring was. I couldn’t interpret it in my life…but I think at that time I was taking it too literally. Ultimately I came to understand that the ring is everywhere. It depends on how much of a fighter you are in life. The hardest opponent you have is yourself.” - Martin Scorsese

Walking by Ryan Larkin (1968)

“Animator Ryan Larkin uses an artist’s sensibility to illustrate the way people walk. He employs a variety of techniques—line drawing, colour wash, etc.—to catch and reproduce the motion of people afoot. The springing gait of youth, the mincing step of the high-heeled female, the doddering amble of the elderly—all are registered with humour and individuality, to the accompaniment of special sound. Without words.” - NFB

"laureate of American lowlife":

“Charles Bukowski was a prolific underground writer who used his his poetry and prose to depict the depravity of urban life and the downtrodden in American society. A cult hero, Bukowski relied on experience, emotion, and imagination in his work, using direct language and violent and sexual imagery. While some critics found his style offensive, others claimed that Bukowski satirized the machismo attitude through his routine use of sex, alcohol abuse, and violence. “Without trying to make himself look good, much less heroic, Bukowski writes with a nothing-to-lose truthfulness which sets him apart from most other ‘autobiographical’ novelists and poets,” commented Stephen Kessler in the San Francisco Review of Books, adding: “Firmly in the American tradition of the maverick, Bukowski writes with no apologies from the frayed edge of society.” Michael Lally in Village Voice maintained that “Bukowski is…a phenomenon. He has established himself as a writer with a consistent and insistent style based on what he projects as his ‘personality,’ the result of hard, intense living.”- Poetry Foundation
