Brush with Fame: Lucy Liu (videos and pics)
Did you know Lucy Liu was, besides being a rather talented actress with rather adorable freckles, a rather impressive abstract artist?
why didn’t I know about this? I mean, I can’t love her even more I think, but this is seriously great.
Dream of the day: Lucy Liu painting all day in her artsy grungy loft with that lazy bun held together by a brush.

Due to unprecedented demand, Steven Soderbergh has given The San Francisco Film Society permission to release this video that was recorded initially only for archival purposes. The full transcript is also provided. —Steven Soderbergh: The State of Cinema Video & Transcript
With endless thanks to Ted Hope, The Executive Director of the San Francisco Film Society.
“Cinema is under assault,” Steven Soderbergh told an audience in San Francisco over the weekend. He said that the Hollywood studios are to blame and that moviegoers are their accomplices. “Fewer and fewer executives in the industry love movies,” Soderbergh continued, “There’s a total lack of leadership in my opinion, that’s what’s killing cinema.” The director’s remarks came at the San Francisco International Film Festival’s annual State of Cinema Address. It was a sort of Jerry Maguire memo, “Cinema is a specificity of vision. It’s as unique as a fingerprint. If it’s done well, you know exactly who made it,” Steven Soderbergh defined on Saturday, “Is there a difference between cinema and movies? If I ran team America, I’d say fuck ya. Cinema is something that is made, movies are seen.”
steven soderbergh is on a roll lately or what?

The Lady (Dir. Luc Besson)
“The Lady is an epic love story about how an extraordinary couple and family sacrifice their happiness at great human cost for a higher cause. This is the story of Aung San Suu Kyi and her husband, Michael Aris. Despite distance, long separations, and a dangerously hostile regime, their love endures until the very end. A story of devotion and human understanding set against a background of political turmoil which continues today. The Lady also is the story of the peaceful quest of the woman who is at the core of Burma’s democracy movement.”

oh my god this man, this blog, it’s the absolutest cutest thing ever.
James Jirat Patradoon (born 1985) is an Australian Artist/Illustrator.
His frantic images are inspired hyper-masculine mythologies of of biker gangs, rockstars, pro wrestlers, secret societies, and Facebook. Citing Raymond Pettibon and Katsuhiro Otomo as his artistic influences, James’ work is an irreverent take on the stoic nature of macho pop culture.
James is definitely one of my favorite illustrators right now, i love how he can be at the same time super clean and at the same time bursting, vibrant, visceral.
