Illusion Travels By Streetcar (0) permalink
How much provocation can one speaker pack into just 54 minutes? In this recording of a talk given at UC Berkeley on April 26, 1968, the then-newly-hired film critic for The New Yorker, Pauline Kael, goes a great distance toward answering that question as she brutalizes Underground cinema, Arthur Penn, and the institutional imperatives of mass-market film criticism.And those are but three of the targets upon which she opens fire.It's a cheap and perhaps shifty ...Shared by Brandon (18) grange85 (13)Contribute comment -

Amazing auditory illusion (67)

Boing Boing (4423) permalink
Here is a terrific auditory illusion called a Shepard scale. Listen to the video, then replay it. Again. And again. And again. From Wikipedia: A Shepard tone, named after Roger Shepard, is a sound consisting of a superposition of sine waves separated by octaves. When played with the base pitch of the tone moving upwards or downwards, it is referred to as the Shepard scale. This creates the auditory illusion of a tone that continually ...Shared by !&# (23) Adam (2) Adrian (14) Alex (5) amoose136 (4) Andrea (11) Andrew (4) Angus (43) Army of Gnomes (39) Ayrkain (5) Beebs (6) Ben (4) Carl (2) Carlos Villela (23) Chris (4) Clint Ecker (21) dave (16) Dean (9) Derek (7) Derek (5) Dropkick (6) Dustin DeKoekkoek (7) Fuzzyman (10) GioStam (7) grange85 (13) guy (626) Heather (38) hikikomori (68) Hilary (22) INCyr (29) James (3) Jarvitron (18) Jason Matthews (0) Jeffrey (9) Jeni (7) Jennygo (15) John S (11) Joshua (9) Jouni Seppänen (5) Kevin (0) lewis (5) Marcel (4) Marius (5) Matthew (1) MDWeezer (7) Melkir (16) Michael (3) Nathan (48) odwl (2) Paolo Privitera (16) Paulo Pereira (20) Phillie Casablanca (11) px (17) Shack (20) striatic (5) Stuart (100) Sunil Garg (2) susanna (63) Tal Siach (474) Tankboy (3) TheDudeAbides (2) Toy (3) tsangal (21) Vidal Tripsa (7) War-N (5) Will (2) Yetimon (6)- Jeni said: I didn't actually know there were auditory illusions until seeing, er, hearing this.

Why, That's Delightful! (10) permalink
Well, I guess I’ll just have to tell you. We hid an Easter Egg in the IT Crowd Series 2. In fact, we hid lots of Easter Eggs in the DVD. In fact, the DVD was not just a DVD, but a fiendishly complicated collection of clues that would, we thought, eventually lead some clever Nancy Drew-type to our special mystery prize–a bright yellow Lamborghini laptop (you may have noticed Moss with it in series ...Shared by grange85 (13) kebernet (96)Contribute comment -

1968 ad" "Women of the future will make the Moon a cleaner place to live." (2)
onTinselman says: In 1968 women wore "futuristic" helmets during house cleaning. After cleaning, wearing the fashionable helmets to shopping and lunches was considered a must. My own mother couldn't afford a helmet, so my dad constructed one out of cardboard and duct-tape. He painted it gloss white. I thought it looked authentic, but she finally stopped wearing it when she noticed some of the neighbor ladies laughing behind her back. Thankfully, such strict standards are ...Shared by Aaron Ross Powell (10) grange85 (13)Contribute comment

onKen Levine (Cheers, Frasier and others) speaks the truth about on-screen graphics that pop up during a show. Listen to him, TV people! “…pop ups are intrusive, they’re DESIGNED to divert your attention from the show you’re watching, they’re completely disrespectful to the creative team that mounted the show, and the audience resents them. Writers kill themselves to create compelling and entertaining stories that hold the audiences’ attention. If we wanted Kathy Griffin to suddenly ...Shared by grange85 (13)Contribute comment
