As Mr. West raps, the camera slowly zooms out in one continuous, unedited take to reveal him in a classical structure, surrounded by female attendants who are partly or entirely nude; some kneel before him on all fours, others wear devil horns and still others are suspended upside down from the ceiling. The sword of Damocles hangs precariously over Mr. West’s head, and behind him an unseen executioner is preparing to strike him with a blade. ” <a href="http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/07/29/a-preview-of-kanye-wests-power-apocalyptic-in-a-very-personal-way/">(artsbeat)</a></span></p>http://abteen.org/post/880570330http://abteen.org/post/880570330Fri, 30 Jul 2010 11:07:00 -0700<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="300" data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=13319491&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF"><param name="quality" value="best" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="scale" value="showAll" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=13319491&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF" /><embed src="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=13319491&server=www.vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><br/><br/><p><a href="http://mattwellsblog.tumblr.com/post/845778131/new-video-i-directed-for-rafter-no-f-ing">mattwellsblog</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>New video I directed for Rafter - “No F***ing Around”. </p> <p>Special thanks to Rafter Roberts, the very talented actors, and an extra lovin’ spoonful to Asthmatic Kitty Records!</p> </blockquote> <p>Great casting in this video.</p>http://abteen.org/post/880500175http://abteen.org/post/880500175Fri, 30 Jul 2010 10:47:28 -0700<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/031Dshcnso4&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/031Dshcnso4&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>This guy is too good at effects.</p>http://abteen.org/post/880495974http://abteen.org/post/880495974Fri, 30 Jul 2010 10:46:11 -0700<object width="400" height="255" id="delve_playerf41db15d64b449eaa0064d5529d83f23334260o" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"><param name="movie" value="http://assets.delvenetworks.com/player/loader.swf" /><param name="wmode" value="window" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="flashvars" value="mediaId=a7c5088f864a4c30989f9665c497931d&playerForm=88a26316a62d4655a806dda0da4e95ca&autoplayNextClip=true" /><embed src="http://assets.delvenetworks.com/player/loader.swf" name="delve_playerf41db15d64b449eaa0064d5529d83f23334260e" wmode="window" width="400" height="255" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" flashvars="mediaId=a7c5088f864a4c30989f9665c497931d&playerForm=88a26316a62d4655a806dda0da4e95ca&autoplayNextClip=true"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>Chromeo - Don’t Turn the Lights On (directed by Keith Schofield)</p>http://abteen.org/post/878948204http://abteen.org/post/878948204Fri, 30 Jul 2010 01:32:49 -0700<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l6cwc4GtZB1qz507mo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span><a href="http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/07/28/guillermo-del-toro-to-direct-at-the-mountains-of-madness-with-james-cameron-producing/">Guillermo del Toro to Direct ‘At the Mountains of Madness’ with James Cameron Producing</a>.</span></p> <p><span>A horror film in 3D?
