Movie of the Week: "The Fountain" by Darren Aronofsky

Keywords: Darren Aronofsky, The Fountain

"Darren Aronofsky, the genius who brought us 'Pi' and 'Requiem for a Dream', has produced a movie called 'The Fountain', which may be one of the most epic and thought provoking movies since 'Space Odyssey 2001.' "

"Just exactly what this movie is about has been kept a big secret. All that we know really is what can be gleaned from the recently released teaser trailer – and it doesn't tell us much. What we know is that the movie, starring Hugh Jackman, will span a period of 1,000 years, has themes of Mayan Mysticism, the quest for eternal life, and undying love."

"The movie takes place in three periods. In the first period Jackman is a Spanish Conquistador on a quest, the second period takes place in the present, and the third period takes place on another planet in the future.

The movie is expected to be released sometime early in 2006."

Audio of the Day: Omid Kordestani at Web 2.0 2005

Image: Gen Kanai - Flickr

Keywords: Google, Omid Kordestani

"In 1999 Omid Kordestani became the 'first guy with a suit' at Google. Since then it has been his job to lead the company's revenue generation efforts, which makes him a key source for insights into the Google business strategy. In conversation with John Battelle Kordestani considers where Google is going and what business it is really in.

Kordestani discusses the growth potential in Google's core advertising business and the extent to which the company now resembles the Microsoft of the 1990s. Finally, he addresses the issue of how a company of Google's size, hiring more than ten new people every day, can foster rather than crush innovation."

Photo of the Day: World War 2 Pictures In Color

Keywords: World War II, Viktor Suvorov

"For so many years, historians and casual observers alike have observed the events of World War II through faded black and white images. What most people do not know is the fact that quite a large portion of the WWII was shot using color film! However, it wasn't until recently that a lot of the photographs and motion picture footage was de-classified by the U.S. Government. We don't just have a collection of U.S. images, but we also have a diverse collection of German, Russian, Japanese, British and Italian photos."
