The Film Building:

Ape Culture and Science Culture on the Planet of the Apes

Category: Movie discussion

Andy Serkis's Caesar and the rest of the ape-men where wonderful, as was slow build of the story, but Franco's character, and the portrayal of science in the movie, seemed to have been written by a non-infinite group of monkeys with a non-infinite number of typewriters.

Tony Stark Could Use a Science Consulting Sidekick

Category: The Art/Science (Non?)Divide Building

Where does one draw the line between fun Sci-Fi and stuff that makes you cringe?

Wanna watch Dawkins' "God Delusion" presentation? Go on, it's well done and also quite funny.

Category: The Film Building

A few months back I had a chance to be involved with Dawkins' visit to Vancouver, and here we had a chance to record his speech. Not a bad way to spend an hour on this particular day. Actually, Richard's...

Things to avoid when speaking publicly - the video.

Category: The Film Building

So I'm pleased to show off a goofy little video I prepared using the great suggestions made at a previous post (Hopefully, the start of a definitive list of things to avoid at all cost when speaking publicly.). It's being...

Sizzle. Enjoyable but more dazzle perhaps?

Category: The Film Building

A few days ago, I had a chance (with other ScienceBloggers) to check out Randy Olson's new flick, Sizzle. Now let me first start by saying that I'm hardly a movie aficionado - my favourite movie is still Star Wars,...

Types of Biological Modification - the Breakfast of Champions cartoon version.

Category: The Film Building

I doodle a bit, and sometimes, it has this Breakfast of Champions look to it - which to be frank is deliberate, since I think it's a great visual style, especially for the purpose of teaching. Anyway, since, I'm playing...

Do schools kill creativity?

Category: The Film Building

I have to say that I really enjoyed this presentation by Sir Ken Robinson. Well worth the twenty minutes. Curious about comments too from you educators out there. Ben, do you think this guy is a contender for our advisory...

McCabe & Mrs. Miller (Ode to Altman)

Category: The Film Building

Some stuff on the esteemed Robert Altman, who died on Monday at 81. And let's call it culture, not chatter. (Even though it isn't a war, per the Sb super category title).

Not sure if it's the best science show, but it's a good one (plus a bit about why ducks always have the best lines)

Category: The Film Building

The question humming around ScienceBlogs at this particular moment is about Science TV, so I thought I would pipe up for one of me and my kid's current favourite shows: Peep and the Big Wide World....

Kaboom! Beauty on a reel via the three R's

Category: Video links (archive.org samples, for example; Youtube.com; others...)

Here is an example where an artist, perhaps unknowingly even, is consuming less. A short animated movie, using only the reused, recycled, or (at the very least) the very old, that shows how aesthetics can be achieved through any means....
