A while back, I bought aronofskyfilms.com to setup a site dedicated to covering Darren Aronofsky films and related projects. While I was doing some migration between servers today, I pointed said domain at Tumblr and got the ball rolling. I've been looking for an excuse to use Tumblr and this site was the best candidate. It only took about 10 minutes of browsing and, before I knew it, I posted five items. Tumblr is awesome.
The hype is building for Aronofsky's forthcoming film, The Wrestler, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to follow the journey. If you're an Aronofsky fan, bookmark it, follow it on Tumblr or grab the RSS. Needless to say, a new Tumblr theme is in the works.

Good but not great. Glad Scorsese didn't get the Oscar for it. Cate Blanchett was great as Hepburn.

Segmented but visually awesome. Sean Pean and Naomi Watts come off whiny and undeserving. Benicio Del Toro played the best character.

e2 is “an ongoing series about the economies of being environmentally conscious.” The series will eventually expand to cover a variety of issues but first tackles the two topics of design and energy.
I recently finished watching the first season of design: e2 on Hulu. Issues covered in the episodes reveal the larger environmental problems facing sustainable building design in the modernized world—particularly in terms of present day China's potential impact on the rest of the globe (re: China: From Red to Green?). Yet, the underlying message of the six episodes demonstrates “green” initiatives as having more to do with efficiency than some idealistic notion. And, Brad Pitt narrates.
Look to PBS and the e2 Series website for episode guides and scheduling information. However, the first season of design: e2 is streaming on Hulu, which is the easiest place to start.
