Left 4 Dead 2 clothing is surprisingly unprotective
Nov/090
Still, the Ellis and Coach tees at least have a picture of a medical kit on the back, which might be enough to fool a zombie into thinking you’re prepared. Let’s hope that buys enough time to find yourself a Molotov.

Why Don’t Whales Get “The Bends” ?
Aug/090
Scuba divers are quite familiar with the dangers associated with decompression. Diving deep into high-pressure waters forces the compressed air in their tanks into solution in the blood stream. As they surface, some of the nitrogen in this dissolved air emerges as bubbles of nitrogen gas, which is highly damaging to blood vessels, and can be lethal. This is known commonly as “the bends”, and medically as decompression syndrome. Thus, divers know that they must resurface at a slow rate to give the body time to dispense with the nitrogen. Even with this precaution, many divers experience pain and even bone damage (known as osteonecrosis) from repeated diving over many years.
Scientists who study Cetacea (the group that includes whales, porpoises and dolphins) have long puzzled over how deep-diving whales (which are also air-breathing mammals like us) avoid this dangerous, decompression condition, that is, why don’t whales get the bends?
Indie Roundup: ‘Food, Inc.,’ Vietnam Doc, Dallas Without AFI
Jun/090
Indie Roundup looks back at the past seven (or, sometimes, eight) days of news in the indie film community, along with a peak ahead to what’s coming soon.
Opening. The highest-profile “indie” is Woody Allen’s Whatever Works, wiith Tatia Rosenthal’s stop-motion animation feature $9.99, Francois Velle’s NYC drama The Narrows, Andy Abrahams Wilson’s Lyme disease doc Under Our Skin, and Tommy Wirkola’s Nazi zombie flick Dead Snow vying for attention on a limited number of screens. On the festival circuit, CineVegas drew to a close on Monday (Eric D. Snider covered it for us), the same night that Silverdocs opened in Silver Spring, Maryland. The Los Angeles Film Festival starts tonight and the New York Asian Film Festival kicks off tomorrow.
Box Office. Last weekend saw several strong openings, with Robert Kenner’s doc Food, Inc. leading the way ($20,171 per-screen), followed by Duncan Jones’ sci-fi drama Moon ($17,006 per screen), and Francis Coppola’s family drama Tetro ($15,252). The doc Youssou N’Dour: I Bring What I Love ($10,866) and Le combat dans l’ile ($10,217) also debuted nicely, while the expansion of Sam Mendes’ Away We Go brought in good business ($12,463). Daryl Wein’s very informative AIDS activist doc Sex Positive drew $3,408 at one theater.
Online Viewing. How about a doc about a doc? Keir Moreano’s documentary As the Call So the Echo follows an American doctor who unexpectedly finds himself in Vetnam after he decides to donate unused medical equipment. The film is available for free streaming at Babelgum, courtesy of the good folks at Cinetic.
