New Miyazaki Movie "Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea"

Yay! A new Miyazaki movie. "Spirited Away" is one of my favorite movies of all time. I'm so excited to see another on of this animator/director's creations. This story is a remake of Hans Christian Anderson's "The Little Mermaid". He uses hand drawn animation instead of computers. His stories are always beautiful and genuine with timeless morals for children of all ages. There isn't a release date in America for it yet. I'm holding my breath until it comes out.

How to Dispose of a Body

Not that I would ever need to know this but...
J sent me this link in case I ever need it.
I love watching true crime and forensic shows so I knew most of the major mistakes people make anyways.

Austin Events: RESET / PLAY

A friend sent this to me, it's an art exhibition that integrates video game influences. It starts tomorrow at the Arthouse in Austin.

The video game as a medium and a style of life has reached its middle age along with the first generation of people who grew up playing them. The non-linear, interactive, processor based narratives, which at first mimicked Hollywood and struggled to convey their simple content with 8-bit processors, gradually became the largest entertainment industry in the history of electronic media. RESET/PLAY is a critical exploration of contemporary art inspired by video games. Questioning the history, control mechanisms, political and art-historical implications of electronic games, RESET/PLAY assembles a formidable group of international artists who are making a significant impact on this growing post-game artistic sub-genre. Artists include Cory Arcangel, Michael Bell-Smith, Mike Beradino, Brody Condon, Alex Galloway, JODI, Guthrie Lonergan, Kristin Lucas, Joe McKay, Michael Smith, Eddo Stern and Keita Takahashi.
