From Corey Holms – Lost in Translation:
This movie captivated me to no end. Not for a minute do I think I’ll forget the experience I had the first time I saw it in the theatre.

Currently listening to Chico Hamliton’s “The Dealer” (on VINYL baby, but you can deal with 320kbps MP3’s right?) with some badass dont-give-a-shit cover art.
Snow Leopard Means Better Color Consistency
Noël Jackson @
As Ars points out:
Though Mac users will probably instinctively prefer the 1.8 gamma image that they’re used to, Apple has decided that this historical difference is more trouble than it’s worth. The default output gamma correction value in Snow Leopard is now 2.2, just like everyone else. Done and done.
What does this mean to my fellow web developers? Your life making colors look similar across monitors and platforms just became a little bit easier. 2.2 gamma is where it’s at baby, and now even Apple agrees.

Ah, yes, thank you! Another person who is absolutely fascinated by this movie.
I cannot even tell what it is, I couldn’t say why I like it that much, what makes it so special. I don’t know. I don’t understand, why it takes such a grip of me every time, damn! But I even cry tears when I watch it — and I’m a guy, for fuck’s sake! Because it is THAT good. Sofia Coppola has done a GREAT job with this one. Probably her best ever.
Would it work with other actors? No! Absolutely not. These two, Johansson and Murray, make a perfect match here. It’s great casting! In fact, Coppola said she wanted Murray for it and wouldn’t have shot it if he had said ‘No’.
And, ah, yes, since I’ve seen Lost in Translation I’m forever in love with Scarlett Johansson. Bummer. Bummer, because I fear she’ll never ever be that good in a movie so perfect. Alas, she’s young, so there’s hope.
