I’ve just been having a little bit of fun doing my own posters of Wes Anderson quotes as inspired by Alex Cornell. More after the break. See also the slideshow on flickr.

District 9
-->Neill Blomkamp, director of District 9:
In certain cases a lot of those shots had been run through a VHS machine, which is hilarious. I told the effects guys, because we only did that after they delivered all of the finals. “I ran your shit through a VHS machine!” It works, though, because then it’s like “Fuck, that feels kind of real.” I think it’s just having both a complete respect for visual effects and a process for making them feel real and then at the same time disregarding them.

I really like the approach that Peter Jackson and Neill Blomkamp took with District 9. Visual effects have become so much of the spectacle of cinema we often forget about the actual role they play in good story telling, and I think a lot of directors forget this fact.
You should all go out and buy the really cool New Internationalist 2010 planner that was designed by my talented brother, Matt Walker. There is some really great photography, art, and of course design in this little number. You can buy it either through New Internationalist or Amazon. I know I’m getting one.
