If you follow the film blogosphere at all, you’ll have probably seen this, but if not, here you go. Dozens of film clips are edited together according to contentual and contextual shot similarity to the music “Complex City” by Oliver Nelson. It’s quite captivating. The film is by Jonathan Lapper, and originally appeared on his blog, Cinema Styles, which is always worth a read. The full list of films used, as well as the thinking that went into the editing choices, is here. I get tired just thinking about all the work he had to have put into capturing and editing this. Great work, Jonathan.

This is on the beginning of the Speed Racer DVD, and I assume elsewhere. I watched it with my mouth gaping. Who at Warner Brothers thought this would be a good use of a classic film? And how about these values: “Making time with Victor’s girl - good; pirating DVDs - bad.” Yep, copying their precious intellectual property is definitely worse than, like, mere spousal infidelity. For reals, WB?

It wasn’t the movie of our dreams. It wasn’t that total film we carried inside ourselves. The film we would have liked to make or, more secretly, no doubt, the film we wanted to live.
