The Making of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey
Jun 21, 11:00PM
What's most notable about Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey is that the epic science fiction adventure was made using old-school practical special effects, well before computer graphics became a staple of the film industry.

The 1983 Punk Rock Record With a Digital Music Video For a B-Side
Jun 21, 8:01PM
The B-side of Chris Sievey's 1983 single "Camouflage" sounds like an unlistenable malestrom of noise.
