Space Invader

Who is Invader, the Parisian guerrilla artist who cements pixelated mosaics of the widely popular classic arcade game Space Invaders on walls across cities of the world? Well if you want to know more about him and his guerrilla art than check out his website which is pretty fun. It features photos of where his Space Invaders have landed, maps and movies of him in action. See if your city has been invaded by Invader. If it has than you can take a walking tour of your city, hunting out his fun pixelated mosaic Space Invaders.

This sounds similar to the "Monsieur Chat" phenomenon, about which Chris Marker (director of "La Jetee" on which Gilliam's "Twelve Monkeys" was based) made a documentary. See Wikipedia entry here:

Did you really think that "Match Point" was a departure for Woody Allen? OK, maybe in terms of the British setting that's true (or am I forgetting a previous UK-based film?). But it seems to me like he's still writing the same old stuff. The dialogue, attitudes and behaviour of his characters seem so old fashioned in everything he does these days. This was especially noticeable in "Anything Else", where he was supposed to be writing for young characters (played by Jason Biggs, etc), but to me they all sounded like middle-aged 1970s Manhattanites. Oh well, maybe I'm just overly critical because he used to make great films but now only makes average ones. I will say this, though: one way in which "Match Point" is definitely not a departure for Allen is in terms of the overall plot (man covers up affair via murder of mistress) which is almost exactly identical to "Crimes and Misdemeanors".
