The movies is the dirtiest language

English is a fascinating language,  In the English dictionary there are 3010 words that beginning with the letter F (not counting names, FYI and FO) and only one, fuck, is refers as the F word. And, apparently it is a magic word, I can be  verb, as a part of an adverb, as enhancer of the adjective, as a noun or an adjective; it also can refer to something great, bad, painful, etc. As a writer you have to use this versatile word, specially when the rest of the language fails you.

This is the reason I decide to post this graphic of flavorwire.com, the decided to make a graphic with the number of times that the word Fuck is used in a film.

Spielberg

If I make a list of my favorite films there is not one of Spielberg, but I have to admit the man is a genius and I have to admit all that I do as a Director I have learned from him. I believe his technique is unique and the most admirable one. I think this is the key of all his success and why he is the director with the biggest box office income in history of films. In tribute to all his achievements I decide to post an infographic about how much money he had made with all his productions.

I want to make a horror movie

Once I wrote a story about an invasion of some creatures from the centre of the earth, it was a B-horror-movie with a lot of cheesy lines and it was a great a story that I have been dying to make.

Horror movies are usually a low budget films with equally low income, but sometime a movie came out that its production value is over charts and of course sometimes this break box-office records. In other occasions a tiny production with no remarkable ideas became the horror movie of the year. EJFOX.com created this infographic showing which of the films in the last 40 years are the top grossing films of the genre.

Infographic Wednesday: Technology Fiction vs Reality

One of my favorite genres is Science Fiction, I love sci-fi literature, TV shows and films. One of my favorite Sci-fi book is Douglas Adams’ “The Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy” a couple of months ago I was reading again this book and I start thinking that Wikipedia reminds me the guide and Siri reminds me to HAL from “2001: Space Oddisey” and apparently I’m not the only one. AT&T Savings created this graphic about technology inspired by science fiction.

Infographic Wednesday: Futuristic Movie time line

When you say sci-fi to a non-fanatic of the genre, they imagine silver suits on a sterile environment in a future fill with robots. Sci-fi had most of its inspiration on a possible future, a future utopic or dystopic that will change the concept of the human as we know it. Sci-fi is probably the first fiction genre to be reflected on movies and since we had seen a vision of a future. Well, Dan Meth created an infographic that shows the perspective of the future in perspective of the year it was made.

Sci-fi movies require a lot of research, attention to detail, and almost flawless storylines in order for an audience to let go and believe what they are seeing is real. Let’s be honest sometimes the script writers use or overuse the literary freedom letting some minor details overlooked and sometimes a really big ones. So here is graphic of some of the mistakes in the sci-fi movies.
