Wait... what just happened? I will say this much: The trailer works better than the full thing. But as for whether there was any value to it, I have to defer judgement to Eileen Harriet Palglace.

Dimensions is a BBC site that "takes important places, events and things, and overlays them onto a map of where you are." – Check out Burning Man or The Eastern Pacific Garbage Patch compared to Vienna. Very cool!

Wie 13 neue Parteien Wien verändern wollen: Im Video-Kurzportrait der Ameisenrunde. | neuwal
Mlinar (LIF) leider wieder recht konfus, Scherak (JuLis) mit Sparthema sachlich aber uninspirierend, Trunk (Piraten) schafft's nicht, die Inhalte massentauglich rüberzubringen und der libertäre Brucker (FBZ) macht mir einfach nur Angst.

The Thermals–I Don't Believe You
A rocking song, a music video with cameos by Sleater-Kinney and (for a split second) Modest Mouse, and a laugh-out-loud ending. Three thumbs up!

An orphan boy duo battles the Yakuza, evil commercial interests and their own inner demons for control over their neighborhood in an endlessly sprawling city:
Black is a thick-headed, aggressive protector of his brother and his town, never very far from bloodthirsty rage, while White is an innocent, optimistic savant who can't tie his own shoes, but pretends to send regular reports to the alien headquarters from which he was supposedly sent to maintain peace on Earth.
The Yin/Yang symbolism might not all that subtle, but thankfully this anime doesn't veer too far off into random gibberish or unexplained mysticism compared to others I've recently seen.
The visuals are truly amazing, from the bustling, chaotic urban landscape rendered with a level of detail unmatched by anything since Paprika to the random watercolor scenes when the plot briefly delves into the minds and fantasies of the protagonists, culminating in a 2001-like explosion of abstract visuals near the end. Add an unusual electronic soundtrack by Plaid, and you've got what's now one of my favorite animated movies.

Bookcrossing im öffentlichen Raum: schon an zwei Orten in Wien, zwei weitere folgen bald. Ein Projekt von Frank Gassner – das ist übrigens der, der das Metalab einst mit "völlig vertrottelte computernerds" zusammenfasste ;)

Maybe it was the mindset I was in when I watched this, most likely this sentiment will not survive repeat viewings and quite possibly it's a love-it-or-hate-it thing — but this film stunned me.
As protests over the closing of a cinema grow into wider countercultural rebellion in 1968 France, Matthew, a newly-arrived young American film buff, meets two kindred spirits: the siblings Isabelle and Theo. They invite him first into their home and eventually into their rather unconventional relationship. Left to their own devices in the gorgeous Paris apartment of their parents, they construct their own little bubble of reality free from responsibilities and social norms, the uprising outside the window serving only as the backdrop for sexual exploration, philosophical discussion (or, if you prefer, intellectual masturbation) and all-out adoration of Nouvelle Vague cinema.
Just like Matthew immediately falls in love with the strange pair, The Dreamers effortlessly seduced me with its lush aesthetics, its romanticism, the excitement of revolution, the adventure of being on your own in a foreign country, the nostalgic hommage to old movies I've never seen, the air of intellectualism, of knowing it all and engaging in verbal sparring, the abundant nudity and hedonistic eroticism, the perhaps stereotypical Frenchness of it all.
How could I not want to live in their dream world for a while?

Dum Dum Girls – Jail La La
August 12 2010
"We intend to write to everyone in the world. In April 2009, we sent a personal, handwritten letter to each of the 467 households in the small Irish village of Cushendall. We hoped these unsolicited letters would prompt neighborly discussion, spreading across the town, promoting community curiosity."

Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse – Dark Night of the Soul
Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse collaborating with people like Wayne Coyne (Flaming Lips), James Mercer (The Shins) and Scott Spillane (The Gerbils): How could the result be anything less than amazing? This is an incredibly rich, emotional album, where every single track is memorable and most of them are brilliant. It's a true shame Mark (Sparklehorse) didn't live to see its release.
