This Actor Pops Up Everywhere: Chris Messina!!

chris_messina_actorI feel like in one out of three movies I watch has Chris Messina in it. I’ve had the feeling I’ve known him for years and tons of films, but actually it’s just that the last two/three years he has been in a lot of big productions.

His debut was in Rounders (1998) and after that he had ten years of typical Hollywood struggling which luckily for him resulted in his break in Woody Allen’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008). It resulted in Messina being listed in the ‘Ten Actors to Watch’ list in Daily Variety.  

Exhibition – ‘Internal Affairs’ by Cem Dinlenmiş @ X-Ist 18th of February 2010

exhibition_cem_dinlenmis_xist_galeri_istanbul_dahiliyeCem Dinlenmiş (1985) is THE most talented caricaturist of Turkey!! At a very young age he started drawing periodically at Penguen Magazine and apart from that he’s also a gifted illustrator.

From the 18th of February 2010 his first solo exhibition ‘Internal Affairs‘ will take place at the X-Ist Gallery in Istanbul. His previous group exhibitions included ‘Intersection III’ at X-Ist, ‘Young Istanbul’ in Stockholm, ‘Connect the Dots’ at Hafriyat Karaköy and ‘Streetlab Istanbul‘ at the Bilsar Building. So you know this boy can draw!  

The Battle of The T-Shirts is On!!!!

YouTube Preview ImageThanks to our good friend Ennio Bonazzo we got to see this crazy cool stop-motion video of Rhett & Link’s t-shirts battling each other! The duo changed shirts over 100 times each and every t-shirt was photographed individually. So there’s NO Photoshop used, which I thought they did. Then the video was exported at 30fps and they shot the animation moves at 6fps, hence the slower T-shirt animations!

Hats off to the crafty creative skills and also to the animations and sound by Billy Reid! To check out  

My Parents Had A Life Before Me!!

my_parents_were_awesomeI stumbled on this website a couple of days ago and I loved it. The site My Parents Were Awesome shows photos of parents from the time before they screwed up their lives and got kids. Now we’re around the time to make the same mistakes and hopefully we’ll be ‘cool’ parents like these people on the photos of this site!

Alexander McQueen RIP 1969 – 2010

alexander_mcqueen_suicide_deadNone of us know why such a talented and loved creative genius would commit suicide, but the sad truth is that it did happen. On the 11th of February 2010 Lee ‘Alexander’ McQueen hanged himself just days before his mother’s funeral.

McQueen was known for in the fashion world for his unconventional designs and shock tactics. The Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design graduate started his own label back in 1994 and had become one of the top names in fashion resulting in him becoming the head of Givenchy. He won the British Designer of the Year award four times in his career.

We hope that Alexander McQueen did it out of sheer happiness.

!f Festival Istanbul 11th – 22nd of February 2010

if_festival_istanbul_2010Our favorite film festival is there again and we’re so excited! Since we haven’t seen most of the ‘Kesif’ films we can only say something about the hit films and there’s some nice ones there. Especially ‘An Education‘ and ‘Away We Go‘ are nice, but our top pick is ‘Un Prophete‘! Tickets for all the movies are available through MyBilet.

On another note our very close friend Nazli Elif Durlu has a short film that made it into the festival and we would like to congratulate her. Her short is called ‘Guven Bana‘ and it’s playing on the  

A Collection of Gaming Consoles Ever – Consollection!

consollectionOur good friend Saydan told us about this site that basically is a complete guide to gaming consoles. The creators of Consollection have gathered several consoles from the Magnavox Odyssey, THE forefather of all programmable video game systems, to more modern systems like the Wii and Playstation 3.

The 2nd edition of Atari’s prominent VCS 2600 from 1980 is one of the top pieces (if we see this as a collection in a museum). They have interesting facts  

American Apparel’s Best Bottom Contest!!

american_apparel_best_bottom_contestI don’t like to be women unfriendly, but American Apparel’s Best Bottom Contest was impossible for me to ignore! Not just because I’m a big fan of beautiful aesthetics but also because it’s such a smart add campaign.

The brand is searching for the best butt in the world and the contest has already garnered attention from The Independent and The New York Times. There’s a lot of negative attention since people are voting on photos of bottoms in American Apparel clothing from people everywhere. These are being published on the site and then
