Retro 3D porno “The Stewardesses” is set for theatrical re-release
later this year. I wasn’t alive when it first came out in 1969, but I’m
looking forward to seeing it this time around — even if I will have to
wear the silly glasses.

The Khronos Projector is an interactive-art installation allowing people to explore pre-recorded movie content in an entirely new way. A classic video-tape allows a simple control of the reproducing process (stop, backward, forward, and elementary control on the reproduction speed). Modern digital players add little more than the possibility to perform random temporal jumps between image frames. The goal of the Khronos Projector is to go beyond these forms of exclusive temporal control, by giving the user an entirely new dimension to play with: by touching the projection screen, the user is able to send parts of the image forward or backwards in time. By actually touching a deformable projection screen, shaking it or curling it, separate “islands of time” as well as “temporal waves” are created within the visible frame. This is done by interactively reshaping a two-dimensional spatio-temporal surface that “cuts” the spatio-temporal volume of data generated by a movie.

A video filmed in the 1940s, shows how the Soviets successfully resurrected a severed dog head, also how they were able to stop a heart of a dog for up to 15 minutes and resurrect it again with blood circulation mechanism, with surprisingly no brain damage! From what I understand this is real historically documented footage.

We recently got a PSP as a present for one of the Tokyopia crew
(yea, hard to believe he didn’t already have one).  As part of the
gift, one of our more talented members put this together to make sure
the recipient knew what to do.

Unforunately we can’t handle the bandwidth for this at Tokyopia so we’ve setup a torrent for it. Here is the PSP version
which is the recommened way to view it. Download it and copy the folder
to your PSP’s video folder and watch it on your PSP. If you are a
PSLoser and don’t have a PSP then here is an AVI version.

We have no problem if you want to host this somewhere else but

Robin Sloan and Matt Thompson
have put together a pretty interesting vision of the media circa 2014.
Basically they see all media becoming totally personalized and
decentralized, driven by individual personalities and intelligent
filtration systems. And of course, it’s all enabled by Google and
Amazon. They may take it to a bit of an extreme, but they certainly
summarize a direction many of us see on the horizon.

Check out this video which runs about 8 minutes, or just read the transcript.

CL.ONE

What began as a small independent film has grown into a lavish science fiction epic; an epic told with 3,000 costumed extras, over a dozen studios to create the 450 digital effects and 48 massive locations including NASA, nuclear power plants, prisons and cathedrals… and it was all produced from a 23-year-old Cleveland filmmaker’s basement.

The incredible story and scope of “CL.ONE” makes it one of the most ambitious independent movies made in the history of cinema. This extraordinary saga of human extinction in the post-nuclear future is clearly setting the benchmark for independent digital moviemaking.

Produced for an astonishingly low budget, audiences have marveled at the multimillion dollar look of what a new era of filmmakers has created.
