No, it's a work of art

They say 'films are a reflection of society'. Whatever happens in society is mirrored in films. Many a times directors, filmmakers and scriptwriters get inspired by various unusual happenings in real life. Although in theory there is a possibility of a reverse happening and that a common man might get inspired or motivated by a certain movie or the character of a movie, in practice this rarely happens. Ever since the ghastly terror blasts in Bangalore and Ahmedabad it is being alleged that they were loosely based on Ram Gopal Varma's movie Contract. That the terrorist masterminds carried out their slaughter of unsuspecting innocent people after being inspired by a scene at the end of the film in which the villain plans to plant bombs in hospitals, much like the one in Ahmedabad.

Piracy could put film industry out of business, warns group

Illegal downloads of popular films are nearly as numerous as box office visits, a French antipiracy association claims. The Association Against Audiovisual Piracy (ALPA) analyzed P2P traffic in France between November 2007 and June 2008 and concluded that a number of popular films had been downloaded so many times that the phenomenon could endanger the entire film industry.

Silk Protein Photonics

Researchers in the Dept. of Biomedical Engineering at Tufts University have used a straightforward, water based extraction method to make pure, ultra-transparent silk films. These films can be patterned with photonic devices, like diffraction gratings and infused with proteins and enzymes allowing biochemically active, cheap, printable optics to be fabricated. Applications to implantable optical sensors are almost limitless. (Disclaimer: I am part of this research group.)

Student Bodies (US - DVD R1)

The box art begs us to consider Student Bodies a precursor to Scream, a mostly straight faced satire of slasher films, but its much more a precursor to the Scary Movie series, which are spoofs of the slasher cycle (specifically the post-modern slashers like the Scream and I Know What You Did series). Both Student Bodies and Scream tease the concepts of sex in slashers (and both open with When a Stranger Calls satires), but tone of the films is quite different. The concept of the horror spoof wasn’t invented by writer/director Mickey Rose (even if the box art states that too), it goes back to the days of Abbot and Costello, but his film does predate other slasher spoofs like National Lampoon’s Class Reunion (by one year) and Saturday the 14th (by a matter of months), so we can call him a ‘pioneer’.

Guy Films Space Shuttle Launch from Passing Airliner

Watching a space shuttle launch from the ground is undoubtedly very awe inspiring, but this video of a launch takes the biscuit: It's filmed from thousands of feet in the air. A lucky guy managed to film a shuttle rocketing off the ground (possibly STS-124) from inside a passing Air Canada airliner. It's less fire, smoke and thunder than a sea-level view, more "Holy crap, look how fast it goes!" Check it out... you may be as amazed as it sounds like he was. [PointNiner]

How Greenwald's Brave New Films Spreads Its Political Message Online

McCain's response -- "I'll have my staff get to you" -- became a major focus for both the media and Obama's campaign, who repeated it in just about every speech to illustrate that the Republican candidate was "out of touch" with the millions of Americans affected by the housing crisis.
