The Social Graph of Movie Characters - Visualized

Image
From Movie Galaxies , we have this graph-oriented view of movie characters. As infosthetics puts it, Based on each movie script, all the interactions of the main characters are aggregated, analyzed and represented as an interactive network graph. Each character is represented by a single network node, which is sized accordingly to how connected the respective character is with others. In turn, each color represents a unique cluster of a given character. As a result, the collection of movies can be explored by their 'density', 'clustering' or 'diameter'. The below are screen grabs, go to the site for the actual (interactive!) version

JJ Abram's remake of The Godfather - The Review!

Image
From rmburnett's tumblr , we have this dispatch fro 2019, giving us the details on the JJ Abram's helmed remake of Godfather . Liked the original?  You'll love this! CODY JARRET SAYS JJ ABRAMS’ GODFATHER MIGHT JUST BE BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL!!!! ——— Cody Jarret here! I just got back from the hottest ticket in town, the top secret sneak preview of JJ Abrams’ new re-boot, Godfather, and man, did it ever blow my expectations out of the water! When I found out that he wasn’t a fan of the original, and preferred Scarface, I was worried, but I have to say, JJ’s done it again, folks. If all you want is a one sentence review, it’s this - Godfather is awesome! For those of you want more, here it comes, but be warned, SPOILERS ARE EVERYWHERE!!!!! We open on Michael (Zack Effron) in the army, blowing away some Nazis and shit. He’s a total badass, but kind of inexperienced, and rough around the edges. He comes home, and his family’s all happy to see him, cuz he’s a war hero now...

The Science Fiction Movie Supercut

Image
From the Tubes of You A remix video of over 100 science fiction movies. This took about a month of editing. In regards to the weird aspect ratio, we had to crop it because we were working with so many weird formats. The song is the Glitch Mob remix "Monday," original by Nalepa Mind you, I'm not too sure that these are all good SF movies, but hey, there are still plenty of iconic ones in there...
