I stand corrected.

In the books, Davos' POV chapters help a lot to sympathize with Stannis. The Onion Knight truly loves him.

Well... I really, really enjoyed this episode.

Yes, on one hand there are some stupid bits (the golden arrow at the end... really?), yes, the sonic screwdriver is used in ways it shouldn't be (but then, as said before, that sin has been committed for the first time a long time ago), etc.

Now, on the other hand:
- great directing. The episode uses more wide-angle lenses and exaggerated high and low-angle shots than I have ever seen in DW, with some strong lighting choices. Seriously, it could have been directed by Peter Jackson and I wouldn't have been surprised. It might seem a bit goofy at times, but at least it gave some amazing dynamics to it. Great production, too.
- great dialogues. Some very energetic moments between Robin Hood and the Doctor. Capaldi nails it completely, I absolutely loved him - and Clara actually had a strong personality. It's the first time I found her really useful and likable as a companion. The supporting actors are all really good, too (the villain was the classic type of villain cool).

So yes, there were some stupid things in there, but I'd take this episode over the two previous ones any day. Despite the lack of strong hints at the series' arc, this is the kind of DW episodes I can really get behind.

A former student at my school made this. It's pretty cool (and slightly weird).

Loving the choice of format.

Oh, you want to have a Photoshop contest, is that the way of it? I'm not impressed, mister. Here's what I made yesterday:

Ditto.

Opening crawl update:

Good news! Everything's still there, and in 1080p. I took Owen's text (with suggested corrections) for the crawl and Bathilda's Terragen thingy and here's what it looks like (with music and stuff!):

EDIT: Youtube added a white overlay to it. Dunno why. It's not on the original file.

EDIT2: Maybe it's just me. My PC is being wobbly.

Hooch is crazy.

Working with Source Filmmaker? 

GODDAMMIT DAVE DON'T DO THIS TO ME

I've been psyched for this film for as long as I've known about it. Garden State was amazing and Zach Braff is my personal God.

And it's only coming to France in a month.

Glad to know you loved it, though.

Well, it's that time of the year again. The jury took place two weeks ago, and among the usual guests (MPC, Framestore, The Mill, etc. - all the big ones, really), a new one came to visit us this year. Its name? Industrial Light & Magic, baby. There is a good chance a few from this year's graduation are going to work on Episode VII.

Anyhoo, here are my picks this year.

Revolucion

South America
Between duty and truth....
The first steps of a young reporter.

One of the few films coming out of this school that are actually thought-provoking. The VFX work is practically flawless.

Engrenage (Gears)

In this race to survive, can you distinguish reality from imagination?

A well-edited, riveting film. I especially loved the atmosphere, and there is some amazing environment work in it.

Speedbob

In the farthest corner of space....
The story of a crazed oil farmer: SPEEDBOB

I think the thumbnail speaks for itself. This one is pure fun, and smells of oil, beer and banjos.

If you like them, please feel free to share around. Any help to increase their visibility is welcome.

Next year's my turn. I'm thrilled.

This. This is why Spongebob Squarepants is so great.
