“
Some days I am Orson Welles. Other days I am the worst loser, impostor, know-nothing wannabe filmmaker in the world. I believe both with equal conviction. And I’ve become friends with that rudderless feeling.”

BIGGEST TEAHUPOO EVER, SHOT ON THE PHANTOM CAMERA. from Chris Bryan on Vimeo.
This day at Teahupoo- Aug 27th 2011 during the Billabong Pro waiting period is what many are calling the biggest and gnarliest Teahupoo ever ridden. Chris Bryan was fortunate enough to be there working for Billabong on a day that will go down in the history of big wave surfing. The French Navy labeled this day a double code red prohibiting and threatening to arrest anyone that entered the water.Kelly Slater described the day by saying “witnessing this was a draining feeling being terrified for other peoples lives all day long, its life or death. Letting go of that rope one time can change your life and not many people will ever experience that in their life.” All images where shot by Chris Bryan using the Phantom HD Gold camera.

Terry Richardson’s new ad campaign for Equinox came under fire last week for portraying models who, according to some, looked thin and sickly instead of fit and gym-going. Either way, the pictures aren’t gym-related: Instead of photographing hot people in quasi-pornographic workout positions, as he’s done for Equinox before, Richardson portrayed them wearing skimpy, sweat-free cocktail attire while canoodling in a mansion. The ads are apparently meant to portray fun activities — like simultaneously walking three dogs while wearing stilettos and balancing on one foot — that an Equinox membership might enable you to do; the behind-the-scenes video shows just how complicated some of these activities really are. (Just you try holding table-top position on a tile floor in stiletto heels — well, actually, don’t.)

Its hard to hate AMC. After all, theyre still the network that brings us Mad Men and Breaking Bad, two of the best dramas on television. But with The Walking Dead, theyve really dropped the ball. Sam Witwer certainly feels that way. The Being Human star recently expressed his displeasure with the network over their firing of Frank Darabont — and of their nixing of Darabonts fantastic idea for the second season premiere.
“[The cast and crew of The Walking Dead] have been threatened to not speak out [about Darabonts firing],” Witwer told ParanormalPopCulture.com. “I mean, its ugly. Ive heard some reports from people who are there, on the ground, and its really, really ugly, what happened.”

It’s official—the invisibility cloak is no longer just another product of childhood fantasy or J. K. Rowling novels. We’ve been waiting for this day for ages and had been ready to give up hope altogether until we stumbled upon this “transparent cloak” from a research team at the University of Tokyo’s Tachi Lab. Led by Dr. Susumu Tachi who’s currently at Keio University, researchers have been developing this concept since 2003, and if the above video is any indication, they’ve made some impressive strides.

THE VISION THING

How Marty Scorsese risked it all and lived to risk again in Hollywood.
AT 69, AN AGE WHEN MOST HOLLYWOOD DIRECTORS have been packed off after a hollow cavalcade of plaudits, roasts, and nostalgic fetes, Martin Scorsese is once again panicked about hitting a deadline. His new movie is Hugo, a 3-D children’s movie being released by Paramount Pictures this Thanksgiving weekend, and Scorsese has never before directed in 3-D, nor, God knows, made anything resembling a kid flick. But this is what life is like for Marty, as everyone calls him. The director has achieved the trifecta of a fulfilling, creative life: enough money to do only what truly interests him, enough freedom to attack those projects in a way that is satisfying, and enough appreciation from his peers to tame–just slightly, just ever so slightly–the neurotic beast of self-doubt.
Since nailbiter broke this news story about a new pilot for The Munsters, many people curious who the would get to play them.
