Trailer - Yamazakura - Nippon Cinema
by sbrothier
Drawn to a tree full of beautiful cherry blossoms, Noe (Lena Tanaka) meets a man named Yoichiro Tezuka (Noriyuki Higashiyama). He happens to be one of the men she could have been arranged to marry before choosing her current husband, but she turned him down because he had a child. He asks her if she’s happy. She tells him yes, but in her heart she knows that’s not really true.

It might seem easy to cherry-pick howlers from a corpus as exensive as this one, but these errors are endemic. Do a search on "internet" in books written before 1950 and Google Scholar turns up 527 hits
On connaissait Gmail la poubelle à courriels, maintenant on a Google Scholar la poubelle à livres.
Le temps des cerises : Cherry curd | Clea Cuisine
by sbrothier
Cette année, j’ai aussi tenté le cherry curd, ou, pour parler français, la crème à tartiner aux cerises… Une version sans oeufs ni beurre, juste avec arrow-root et purée d’amande. A utiliser sans retenue sur des fonds de tarte, ou bien dans des verrines avec une crème façon tiramisu, ou encore du yaourt battu, juste sucré et vanillé. Miam

NIHONTO-NO-BI: Tsuba I
by sbrothier
Sukashi Tetsu Tsuba
These tsuba are made from forged iron (tetsu) plate and have designs or patterns cut into them. Some of the more elaborate could take up to three months to complete. Sukashi work is of two basic types:
Ko-sukashi: in negative relief, where a minor design is cut into the plate (e.g. a cherry blossom); these tsuba were often produced by swordsmiths (tosho) or armour-makers (katchushi or kacchushi), however many were also produced by tsubako of different schools and signed.
Ji-sukashi: in positive relief, where a large amount of the plate is removed, and the design is formed by the plate that remains. There are two forms of ji-sukashi:
(a) yo- (you) sukashi, a positive silhouette where metal is removed to leave a solid shape; and
(b) kage-sukashi, a type of negative silhouette where only the outline of the design remains, such as with a pencil drawing.

The Mobile City » Blog Archive » Locative media and the situationists
by karlcow
:) Gauche caviar et Sofa RevolutionWhat struck me was that locative media practitioners often refer back to the situationists as some kind of ancestors, as if they’re working in the same vein. …
But that, to me, seems to be where the similarities end. As alive-and-kicking situationist muse Jacqueline de Jong pointed out during the evening, the situationists wanted one thing above all else: to destroy and disrupt our cushy society. They were sick of it, vowing never to work a day in their lives. They probably would have laughed if they had seen that their ideas had been cherry-picked for ripe concepts. The derive, the detournement. All simple concepts that they purposefully packaged in complex and artistc jargon. And we fell for it.

GrindHouse Trailer
by GorillaSushi
Two full length feature horror movies written by Quentin Tarantino & Robert Rodriguez.
An homage to exploitation B-movie thrillers that combines two feature-length segments into one double-bill designed to replicate the grind house theatergoing experience of the 70s and 80s. In "Death Proof," a psycho named Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell) stalks and kills beautiful women with his car. In "Planet Terror," a small-town sheriffs' department has to deal with an outbreak of murderous, infected people called "sickos." A gun-legged woman named Cherry (Rose McGowan) and her martial arts-wielding partner (Freddy Rodriguez) take on the zombie army. The two films will be fused together by fake movie trailers.

“I wanted to use a cherry blossom brush that I had made in Photoshop. I do most of my designs in Illustrator and tend to vectorize everything, but kept this one kind of simple and raw in Photoshop. I like the shape of the cherry blossom tree and branches and will definitely incorporate more organic shapes in my future designs.” ~ Alex Howard ~ Artist Quotes
