These are the five most popular recent posts on my blog for January 2012. Because I’ve drastically increased my posting frequency this year, for the sake of the occasional reader and new visitors I will make a digest post like this each month.

- HR Giger’s LEGO Alien
A beautiful recreation of HR Giger’s Alien creature made with LEGO. I assume this was the most popular post because it’s a beautiful recreation of HR Giger’s Alien creature made with LEGO. - The Big Filmmaking Book List
My initial list of recommended books for film lovers and aspiring filmmakers. I’ll keep reading filmmaking books in 2012, and will blog about each book under the “film books” tag. - Quick RT - A Simple Rotten Tomatoes Interface
A short introduction to Quick RT, the simplified Rotten Tomatoes interface I developed. - The Bigger Pictures: What Happens When We Find The Line As Viewers?
A link to Drew McWeeny’s excellent article on why filmmakers should be more responsible when portraying rape in film, and my thoughts on the topic. - A Note From Ti West On Piracy
Links to Ti West’s letter regarding piracy, and my response regarding the impact of piracy on filmmaking and the types of films that get made.
QuickRT is a simple webservice I created using the Rotten Tomatoes API last year. It’s a quick way to look up the Rotten Tomatoes score for any film, and to get an overview of how current releases are scoring. I love Rotten Tomatoes, but their website makes it unnecessarily complex to look up just Rotten Tomato score information for individual films.
Originally I made QuickRT for myself, but I suspect it’s pretty useful for any film fan.
John Holdun helped out with the design, and I think between the two of us we spent less than a day putting it together. Small projects like this can be a fun palate cleanser, and I hope to do more in 2012.
