Heaven 'n' Hell
A stunning video installation in the elevator of the Standard Hotel in NYC by artist/director Marco Brambilla, depicting an eye-popping journey from hell to heaven:
It's positively Boschian (with Brueghelic undertones!), and I love that Stravinsky was chosen as the soundtrack - it's looped and manipulated, of course, but very well done, seamless.
A more hi-def version can be found here for your viewing pleasure, and worth watching to catch the profusion of images - it's ridiculously replete with pop-culture references - see if you can spot Michael Jackson...

Um, this is in an ELEVATOR?! I would not want to ride up to my room with that. I'll take the old Tom & Jerry cartoons in the Parker Meridien's elevators...
Boschian with Breughelic undertones?
Remind me never to be near you when you order wine, Sarah. Excuse me, I have to go hunt something and kill it with my bare hands now.
princetrumpet, one of my favorite wine commentaries (not mine!): "yeasty, with a hint of body musk". ick.
