Keith Newstead- A Steampunk Romance

Been fascinated (--ok, obsessed) with steampunk lately. When I first heard of the subject, I was indifferent because it would use brass and golds, colors that I usually find repulsive. After watching Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow on an EMS overnight shift, I realize how amazing it is. It is the perfect harmony of romantic Victorianesque simplicty melding with the future's science fantasy. The most adamant of all themes is the hope and optimism.

From Miyazaki's Howl's Moving Castle

Here's a couple steampunk sites:
-The Steampunk Home
-The Steampunk Lab

Awesomeness squared

This is so exciting! Awesome costume, awsome cinematography, awsome picture. Just watching the trailer gave me a whimsical nostalgic feeling of being little again. I bet no one will watch this movie with me T-T

Tokyo! (the movie)

Via BBC Blog.

A movie following the footsteps of Paris, Je T'aime, Tokyo!, is a collection of 3 short stories, from 3 acclaimed directors, reiterating the age long questions: is the people that make the city or is it the city that makes the people?
