Next are some unrelated items that I found in the media. I placed them side-by-side hoping, perhaps, that some extra meaning might arise. What do you glean from this juxtaposition? Does your mind conjure a narrative that wouldn’t have arisen otherwise? Talk to me…

This is unrelated, but I like what you’ve done to the blog’s layout. Very minimalistic, clean and simple.
Though it can be quite confusing for first time users, but eh, it’s cool anyways =)
U know i think his voiceover would be necessary for some films like comedies and certain dramas. but for action movies and films with enough visual stimulation its not necessary.
i was wondering if anyone else noticed this trend/style of pairing visuals only with a bed of music, without SoundFX or dialogue… it probably started with Gears of War.
a new age is upon us. And the death of LaFontaine didn’t cause it–it just happened to be incredibly …”timely”
