This Is Not A Movie Review

This Is Not A Film
Iraning In Place
Official Website | Trailers & Mo
Not Rated | 75 min

Jafar Panahi is an Iranian filmmaker currently not allowed to be an Iranian filmmaker, nor write screenplays, get interviewed or leave the country for 20 years, and at some point is to be imprisoned for 6 years.  Why?????  Because he’s an Iranian filmmaker that makes films in Iran that don’t seem to make the powers that be in Iran all that happy.  Is there anything that makes those guys happy????  What Jerkholes!!!

So, with nothing but time on his idle hands, Panahi enlists his documentarian buddy Mojtaba Mirtahmasb to film him doing pretty much nothing cept hanging around the house wondering what to do next, when he can’t really do anything.  Yep, it’s basically the world’s most boring free speech documentary going, but an important one lessthenone!

moral of the story – kinda long, even at 75 minutes, This Is Not A Film shouldn’t be considered movie watching entertainment, BECAUSE IT’S NOT A FILM OR A MOVIE OR SOMETHING, but more like a really dry 60 Minutes exposé on censorship without any questions being asked of the bad guys, but still, Panahi’s plight is worth your time & attention, even if the non-movie-flick-cinema-doc-thing isn’t really, but still!!!

Guys Just Want To Have Out Run

OutRun – Garnet Hertz

Garnet Hertz’s video game concept car combines a car-shaped arcade game cabinet with a real world electric vehicle to produce a video game system that actually drives. OutRun offers a unique mixed reality simulation as one physically drives through an 8-bit video game. The windshield of the system features custom software that transforms the real world into an 8-bit video game, enabling the user to have limitless gameplay opportunities while driving. Hertz has designed OutRun to de-simulate the driving component of a video game: where game simulations strive to be increasingly realistic (usually focused on graphics), this system pursues ‘real’ driving through the game. Additionally, playing off the game-like experience one can have driving with an automobile navigation system, OutRun explores the consequences of using only a computer model of the world as a navigation tool for driving

OUT RUN!!!
