“Formula movies” is a term for films that always use the same structure and plot devices. here you have a beautiful visualization for the most common movie genres. (If you click on the image it will lead you to an article with a bigger version of the illustration).
I tried to find the source of the illustration which I found on the GITS blog, and ended up at the New York International Lationo Film Festival. You can even make your own action movie, and then there is also this video. Nice!

There are lots of web series on the internet these days, and how you get them financed is still a mystery in most cases. But what was I going to tell you? Oh, yes!
Flavorwire is presenting 10 web series to watch. Some videos don’t work here in Austria, but there is one I did not know before and I really dig it. It is called SUBMISSIONS ONLY, a series about auditions, castings and Broadway shows. I like the humor, the dynamics and the emotional moments.

I know you always wanted to see Jean-Luc Godard in swimming trunks, Wim Wenders fully clothed (including suspenders) and Heiner Müller reading a book at a beach in California. Here you go:
Personally I think the video is rather mediocre until the film cuts away from the adults at 6:57 mins and shows the kids… :-)
Oh, and whoever is wondering about the weird commentary: “Shortly before Ira Schnieder edited it, he had seen some Godard political/very wordy films which he couldn’t stand. He therefore spoke a rather cynical narration.” (I found the video in the CARGO blog, and the statement by Ira Schnieder is quoted here.)
