25 Imaginative Illustrations Inspired By Film Posted by Andrew Lindstrom / Lists / April 16th, 2009 For the most part, being both a film geek and design geek are two completely separate interests of mine that rarely coexist. Occasionally I’ll be enticed by a great poster design, or appreciate the font choice in a title sequence – but usually the two worlds never collide. However, lately I’ve noticed a trend of artists and designers paying homage to their favorite films in their own creative way. It is in admiration of this movement that I’ve hand picked my favorite 25 Imaginative Illustrations Inspired By Film.

FilmBizarro.com - Your source for underground and independent film. There are way too many arthouse / surreal / artistic films out there to know where the hell to start. Even if you've watched them for years you can still get lost in the searching. One of the reasons why we started Film Bizarro was to highlight the weird for the masses, and while I think we have done that, we've also gotten wider. I've tried to write a good but short description for each film - it's just too much work to write a full review for each of these so bare with me. I decided to only include 3 movies from the same director, otherwise some directors would take up too much space. I present to you my 99 (why 99?

11 Points - 11 Predictions That Back to the Future Part II Got R So, since it's 2009 and we're only six-and-a-half years away from the future they traveled to (October 2015)... I think we're close enough to do an audit. How'd they do? How accurate were their predictions? In my too-much-time-on-my-hands research of the subject, I ended up finding 11 good predictions from "Back to the Future Part II"... and 11 bad predictions. Watching multiple TV channels simultaneously. Here's Marty video conferencing with his co-worker Needles.

19 Movie Body Modifications: Bulked Up, Pigged Out and Skeletal There are few actors that are willing to undergo a massive body transformation for movie roles. There are even fewer, because of the difficulty, that do it more than once. Typically referred to as ‘method actors’ for their dedication to their craft and their roles, these Hollywood icons were willing to shed or gain significant weight, or take up rigorous weight-lifting regimens. The following are some of the most noteworthy body transformations by movie stars. George Clooney – Syriana (Source 1, 2) George Clooney packed on about 30lbs for his role of a veteran CIA operative in the politcal-suspense thriller, Syriana. Jake Gyllenhaal – Jarhead (Source 1, 2) The regularly slim (Donnie Darko, Brokeback Mountain) Gyllenhaal put on about 25lbs of pure muscle for his role as Anthony “Swoff” Swofford in the 2005 film about the first Gulf War. Ryan Reynolds – Blade Trilogy (Source 1, 2) Hillary Swank – Million Dollar Baby (Source 1, 2) Swank is no stranger to changing her appearance for a movie role.

16 Unique and Impressive On-Screen Transformations Many movies require actors and actresses to wear costumes or to apply basic makeup to take on a specific role.

Bon Iver (Part I) - Bon Iver (Part I) - LA BLOGOTHEQUE We first suggested this idea just like we used to, hoping it would work because we so loved the artist. We just suggested that Bon Iver could play a private show, a Pocket Party in an apartment. We didn’t really know if we could trust that it would ever happen until one moment in May, when Nora and I met Justin for an interview in a small backyard. At the end of it, we mentioned what was on our minds. He immediately responded that this is kinda what he dreams of: that his album is meant to be played in front of small crowds, and that he was looking forward to it. We, too, were looking forward to it, and God knows how hard it all was. We emptied the living room for the Pocket Party, and then spent an hour or so wandering with Bon Iver. What you can see in these first videos, and what we understood that evening, is how thoroughly Bon Iver is now a band. Flash back, however, to earlier in the day as they worked out their set.
