Femme Fatales Week! begins at Trailers from Hell, with director Dan Ireland introducing "Vertigo," Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece and last year's Sight & Sound top-ranked film of all time, starring James Stewart and Kim Novak. Stewart was born on May 20, 1908. "Hitchcock's masterpiece to date and one of the four or five most profound and beautiful films the cinema has yet given us". That was critic Robin Wood's astute 1968 evaluation ten years after Alfred Hitchcock's final collaboration with James Stewart had been released to indifferent box office and unappreciative reviews. Tragic, obsessive and backed by an unforgettable Bernard Herrmann score, it's one of the director's most mesmerizing accomplishments. It knocked Citizen Kane off its nearly 50 year perch as the #1 picture of all time in the 2012 Sight and Sound decade poll of critics and filmmakers. ...

Workers this week completed a $15 million project to repair the 555-foot obelisk, which was damaged in the 2011 earthquake. The monument has been closed since the quake — it will reopen next year.

Try Not to Get Vertigo: POV GoPro Footage of One World Trade Center Spire Being Raised

Of all the reasons why I could never be a construction worker—not strong enough, can't consistently wake up at 5am, don't know how to catcall—preeminent among them is my deathly fear of heights. It was terrifying to watch this video of construction workers hoisting the spire onto One World Trade Center (someone slapped a GoPro camera onto the thing). The crazy part is that at the end, you get to see a handful of guys jimmying the massive thing into place with what look like crowbars. Warning: This video isn't edited at all, it's a continuous nine-minute shot of them hoisting the spire from the roof to the top of its supporting structure. Part of me wishes they'd fast-forwarded the video, though if they had I would've peed my pants or thrown up (probably both). (more...) ...

Apartment Featured in Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘Vertigo’

Calling all movie buffs: Now is your chance to own a piece of film history. On the market in San Francisco is an apartment featured in a film considered by many to be the best of all time. Designed by architect Albert Pissis in 1911, the apartment building where the unit is found would serve as one of the many Bay Area backdrops featured in Alfred Hitchcock’s acclaimed thriller Vertigo . The location in question was originally a popular neighborhood eatery known as ‘Ernie’s Restaurant’, which would feature prominently in the 1957 masterpiece. As the legend goes , Hitchcock was a regular at the family-style Italian joint and tabbed it for four scenes. However, because it was difficult to film the necessary panoramic shots inside the restaurant, Hitchcock had a replica of Ernie’s interior built in Hollywood, and even went as far as flying the owners, Roland and Victor, to Los Angeles to have them act as the maître d’ and bartender in the film. Completely renovated in 2007, the apartment with cinematic pedigree is petite, but classy, and lists for $695,000 . Lined in hardwood, the one-bedroom offers just 835 square feet, but boasts luxuries ranging from a kitchen by Studio Becker to a spa bathroom with Geological porcelain to fixtures by Philippe Starke.

Vertigo At The Bristol Comic Expo – An Unwritten Prequel Graphic Novel Has Been… Written

Kyle Rogers writes from the Bristol Comic Expo, happening this weekend. Panellists: Shelly Bond + Mark Buckingham Mark Buckingham met Karen Berger doing portfolio reviews at a con, and she offered him work a year later. His first DC work was on Hellblazer in 1988 as an inker. Most of his work through the mid 90s was inking, moving to pencilling in 1997. And it was working on the Merv Pumpkinhead: Agent of Dream mini introduced him to Bill Willingham. Fables then launched in 2002, but Buckingham was busy working on Spider-Man with Paul Jenkins so he couldn’t join to begin with. After reading scripts from Willingham, he drew the Animal Farm story arc, which led to meeting his future wife at a convention in Spain. Fables #129 depicts Snow White as Joan of Arc on the cover. #130 cover was shown as well, depicting June Bug – this will apparently be a one-shot specifically aimed at new readers. Shelly Bond also showed the cover of the in-progress Fables Encyclopaedia, which will feature character bios and histories. #131 will be the start of the next story arc, focusing on Rose Red. And next year will see the release of a set of detailed Fables bookends featuring the core cast of heroes & villains preparing for battle. There’s also going to be a crossover (described as an “event”) between Fables and The Unwritten to start with TU #50, a double sized issue. Apparently this was first conceived at a post-con curry at BCE ’12. There will b ...

Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo Possibly The First Movie To Use Computer Animation

“ For the title sequence to Vertigo, Hitchcock had an additional, often unnoted, collaborator: John Whitney. A pioneer of computer animation who worked in television in the 50s and 60s and in the 70s created some of the first digital art, Whitney was hired to complete the seemingly impossible task of turning Bass’s complicated designs for Vertigo into moving pictures. A mechanism was needed that could plot the shapes that Bass wanted, which were based on graphs of parametric equations by 19th mathematician Jules Lissajous; plotting them precisely, as opposed to drawing them freehand, required that the motion of a pendulum be linked to motion of an animation stand, but no animation stand at the time could modulate continuous motion without its interior wiring becoming tangled. To solve this problem, Whitney made use of an enormous, obsolete military computer called the M5 gun director. The M5 was used during World War II to aim anti-aircraft cannons at moving targets. It took five men to operate it on the battlefield, each inputting one variable, such as the altitude of the incoming plane, its velocity, etc. ” - Rhizome | Did ‘Vertigo’ Introduce Computer Graphics to Cinema? ...

Bianchi Vertigo – just in

The Vertigo road bike is new for 2013 and forms part of the comfort-oriented Bianchi C2C – or Coast to Coast – range, with a price tag of £1,499/US$1,999.99. De rigueur tweaking of geometry means the chainstays have been lengthened slightly, for greater stability, and the top tube has been shortened a tad. The head tube has been elevated to create a more upright, back-friendly riding position. The geometry isn’t that extreme – this 54cm model has only a slightly relaxed 72.5-degree seat tube angle and 72-degree head angle. It has a 1 1/8in steerer and the main frame tube profiles are oversized, with a substantial bottom bracket junction. The chainstays are also chunky. The wheel and tyre combination pairs Hutchinson Equinox tyres and Shimano R500 wheels – both are tough enough to handle badly maintained roads. Shimano 105 is also par for the course, as is the very well-finished frame with full internal cable routing. The chainset is a non-series R565 item from Shimano, while elsewhere on the 8.36kg (18.43lb) Vertigo there's a selection of Bianchi Reparto Corse own-brand parts, namely the bar, stem, seatpost and brakes. There are even some subtle celeste green touches on the frame and kit. Lenghtened chainstays are designed to help the Vertigo's stability The Bianchi Vertigo will be reviewed in Cycling Plus issue 276, which is on sale 28 May.
