Lau Kar-leung - 8 Diagram Pole Fighter - The

In the formidable stable of action directors who Shaw Brothers Studio employed throughout the 1970s and ‘80s, perhaps the greatest was Lau Kar-leung. Having previously established himself as the studio’s finest martial arts choreographer, Lau began to helm features in the mid-‘70s and produced a string of classics, most notably the wuxia staple 36th Chamber of Shaolin, that blended complex choreography, bullishly confronted themes, and antic comedy. His penultimate film for the studio, 1984’s...

The Secret of Poetry

When Geoffrey Hill began his fourth lecture as Oxford Professor of Poetry in 2011, the audience members clearly expected a mischievous performance. In his first lecture, Hill had promised a future evaluation of contemporary British poetry, and in the subsequent oration he did not hold back, appraising creative writing as a neoliberal efflorescence of a doomed literary culture, with its ‘plethora of literary prizes’ and false evaluation of its own health. Anti-élitist ‘accessibility’ was the b...

Just like now, the idea of a Star Trek collectible was a thing hardcore Star Trek fans thought about all the time. But, other than the fact that everyone would actually want to "collect" Data, "Th...

From the oasis sands of the biblical cradle of Mesopotamia all the way to the volcanic Valley of Mexico, parallel pyramids and mirroring myths have endured across the ages. Isolated from each other by vast oceans and deserts of time, disperse cultures have incorporated analogous stories into their mythology, building structures, such as the Tower of Babel or the Pyramid of Cholula, that are strikingly similar even though they are located in different corners of the globe. Stories of ziggurat...

Chlorine

As deadly as it is beautiful, chlorine's characteristic yellow hue turns to a viscous, deep yellow-orange liquid when pressurized to over 1000(!) Psi - as in this little ampoule. If you were to heat this cube in boiling water (don't though!) it would cross the supercritical liquid-vapor point and the liquid would appear to vanish.

CITIZEN KANE: T for Technique and T for Tragedy

Kane reinvented filmmaking, but it looks down...
