You should check out this blog, it's cool. Front page worthy?

Brilliant.

It's amazing how much you can often tell about a movie from that one frame.

It's front page worthy if it's your discovery, if it's via another blog don't worry.

[dnwilliams]

Yeah I found it. No way it won't be picked up by a lot of other blogs fairly soon though.

We often focus on the central themes of a movie. The central characters. Scenes that are central to the plot. Well, what happens when you take all of this central-centricity to its logical conclusion? You get Halfway Cinema - a new blog dedicated to screen-capping the central frame of a movie, the exact centre, midway through the running time.

It's a cool little project and, like The Page 69 Test before it, the results are always interesting for one reason or another. Check out a few below to see what we mean:



EQUILIBRIUM (2002)

ADVENTURELAND (2009)

EDWARD SCISSORHANDS (1990)

FATHER OF THE BRIDE (1991)

THE TERMINATOR (1984)

WHEN HARRY MET SALLY… (1989)

There are a lot more on the site already, so head over and take a look! It's interesting what moments are captured and what the pivotal moment says (or in some cases doesn't say) about the film as a whole. Worth a bookmark.

Got that as one image, but I don't know if that messes things up for formatting on the front page with text included and stuff...

[Sheridan Passell]

You didn't need to do that, but it does help actually.

[dnwilliams]

I found a quick and easy way to do it, just seeing what it works for and what it doesn't.
