'HIGH RISE': NEW MOVIE, STARRING TOM HIDDLESTON

Based on JG Ballard's 1975 novel, and flying the flag for the polarising 'brutalist' architecture of post-war UK, this great-looking clip and poster campaign ( courtesy of Empire Design ), make director Ben Wheatley's film a refreshing alternative to the forthcoming flood of US fantasy blockbusters in 2016.

COKE'S 'HULK vs. ANT-MAN' AD

(MARCH 2023 - A LOT OF VISITS TO THIS PAGE, SO LINK HAS BEEN RESTORED!)

After Fox's DEADPOOL ( released Wednesday in the UK and Friday in the US ), there are SIX more major comic-book adaptations to come this year. This brilliant advert, featuring two long-time Marvel stalwarts, is surely the precursor of what will be a tsunami of brand promotions and tie-ins, all off the back of what is now a hotly contested and multi-billion dollar industry.

Editor's note: No way this can of Coke doesn't EXPLODE when that ring is pulled.

BLAST FROM THE PAST: 'GIRL & ROBOT' BY ALEXI K ( 2006 )

We thought the colour scheme of this analog-to-digital sketch ( done in 2006 ) would go quite nicely with the current 'UltraViolet' edition of this blog...

BRAND-NEW FIXT SIGNING: THE ALGORITHM

Anything new on FIXT is a big deal, and this French signing ( formed in 2009 by programmer and composer Rémi Gallego, with drummer Mike Malyan added in 2011 ), is no exception. 
A mixture of Mathcore, Melodic Metal, and Prog Rock, The Algorithm's complicated soundscapes are perfectly encapsulated by their band logo: An unreadable piss-take of a 'Black Metal' insignia guaranteed to generate interest from the modern metal hardcore...as well as great t-shirt sales!
