Photo: Jay Brooks/SagaBrazil was one of the first films that got me interested in the medium as an art form, as opposed to just entertainment. Interestingly, I had seen the trailer before a screening of Jeunet and Caro's City of Lost Children, a film very much influenced by Gilliam's aesthetic. What led me to that film, I don't quite remember, but as soon as I saw that Sam Lowry miniature soaring through those cotton ball clouds, I knew I'd be taking a trip to Brazil.But that wasn't my first exposure to Gilliam.

At Texas Frightmare Weekend I came across Grave Tone Productions' booth and had a chat with main man Brian Davis. Grave Tone's horror and metal music combination intrigued me. I learned Davis and his partner in mayhem have a lot of irons in the fire, and we discussed them all.
Mr. Dark: Who the hell are you, and what do you do?
Brian Davis: My name is Brian Davis. I am the primary composer, arranger and drummer for Grave Tone Productions. We make music for the haunt/horror industry.

With the Internet down across Egypt, Google and Twitter have come up with a way for Egyptians to tweet using their phones. Now, Dan Lyons reports, a group of hackers is close to delivering software that could turn laptops into low-cost Internet routers-and help protesters organize.
Hours after the government in Egypt shut down that country's access to the Internet, hackers around the world started banding together to craft some kind of workaround. And one group claims to be only a day or two away from delivering a partial solution.
