New Murakami novel, “1Q84,” selling like hotcakes

by Eric Franklin on June 10, 2009

The new Murakami 2-volume novel is selling fast enough to set records for the publisher in Japan. I wonder how long we’ll have to wait to see this one in the US? The publisher and Murakami, who rarely gives media interviews, kept a veil over “1Q84,” which can be read as “1984″ in Japanese, after [...]

by Eric Franklin on February 10, 2009

The Television Cultural Centre by the Office for Metropolitan Architecture burned down in Beijing last night.

“Objectified,” a documentary trailer

by Eric Franklin on January 24, 2009

A new design documentary from Gary Hustwit is coming to SxSW this year in March. Hustwit also directed the acclaimed “Helvetica,” which recently made its way to NBC and seems to reside just below my shipping DVDs on Netflix all the time. This trailer features the dulcet tones of Jony Ive (amongst others) to start [...]
