Photos of classic film reels evoke memories of the movies they contain

Untitled-1_large

As we move ever closer to all-digital film production, the film reel is becoming a rarer sight in modern movie theaters. In an attempt to evoke the nostalgia associated with traditional film, Austrian photographer Reiner Riedler accessed the archives of major film museum Deutsche Kinemathek in Berlin, selecting a mix of popular and cult films — which include The Godfather, Ghosts, Scarface and Citizen Kane — for his new project, titled The Unseen Seen. Riedler then photographed the reels by installing film lights behind them, generating a unique and vivid set of photos that he hopes will recall images from a viewer’s memory and help associate the colors with the overall tone of the film, generating new emotions from movies of old.

Samsung Galaxy Note II reportedly coming in black, triggers monolithic memories (update: fake!)

Samsung Galaxy Note II reportedly coming in black, still won't be stealthy

Samsung gave Galaxy S III buyers a small rainbow of color choices in the summer, and there’s signs that the Galaxy Note II might receive a similarly resplendent treatment. A supposed press image acquired by AndroidSlash reveals the giant smartphone draped in a formerly not available black that’s potentially really striking– and more than a little bit of reminiscent of 2001‘s species-changing monoliths. There’s no main word from Samsung on its authenticity, although we wouldn’t be amazed knowing the business’s history and the Note II’s durable performance history. When a theoretically specific niche gadget is selling like gangbusters, some added diversity might be in order. Simply don’t anticipate any type of Starchildren as an outcome.

Update: Alas, this is without a doubt a phony. The source has actually updated to confirm that this was simply a fast darkening job with an image editor– you can tell by the darkened LED flash, camera and logo design. But still, we wouldn’t be shocked if Samsung does release its phablet in other colors to keep milking it.

Revisiting childhood memories with ‘L.A. Noire’

OnLive LA Noire stock 1024

In an intimate and illuminating piece for Eurogamer, Christian Donlan describes the remarkably nostalgic experience of playing L.A. Noire with his dad, who grew up in Los Angeles during the 1940s. For Donlan’s daddy, the game was less about criminal activity and action than it was about revisiting the Los Angeles of his youth. As it turns out, L.A. Noire is remarkably trustworthy to the era where the senior Donlan matured, standing as a testament to Rockstar’s diligence. “Even the little details commonly open up the past in fascinating methods, keying you into the class problems and the general hierarchy of the period,” Donland writes. “History is the big things, like the Richfield Tower, however it’s the small things, as well, like the trimmings on your …

Silent Hill HD Collection has been pushed back two weeks from its March 6th launch date, Konami revealed in a press release earlier today.

Drug Shows Promise In Erasing Bad Memories

memory-erasers.jpg

Haha — I’m about to erase the f*** outta Monday!

Meytrapone, a drug traditionally used recreationally to diagnose adrenal insufficiency, is now showing promise as a negative memory “forgetter” when taken soon after a negative event. Ugh, BUT I WANT TO ERASE IT ALL.

“Metyrapone is a drug that significantly decreases the levels of cortisol, a stress hormone that is involved in memory recall,” explained lead author Marie-France Marin, a doctoral student.

Manipulating cortisol close to the time of forming new memories can decrease the negative emotions that may be associated with them, the researchers said.

“The results show that when we decrease stress hormone levels at the time of recall of a negative event, we can impair the memory for this negative event with a long-lasting effect,” said Sonia Lupien, Ph.D., who directed the research.

Hey, let me know if you need another test subject. Too late — I just ordered some from a Mexican pharmacy! *downing handful*

Oh man, where am I? Is this…my diary?

Dear diary,

I don’t know who I am or where I am but I feel…cleansed. Like a freshly douched vagina or something. *vomiting* Whoever I am, it looks like I had nothing but gummi worms for breakfast. Hold on — there’s instructions tattooed on my arm. “GEEKOLOGIE 4 LIFE”. Holy shit – I’m dating a dude named Geekologie.
