The offi­cial site for the Pic­ture­house film Tris­tram Shandy: A Cock & Bull Story. A bar­gain for Pic­ture­house: two movie sites for the price of one. This new “real” movie site accom­pa­nies an already-launched elab­o­rate meta-joke con­ceived of and writ­ten by my boss. This one is more my baby: an extended English-major wank.

The first attracted a lit­tle blog action: Enter­tain­ment Weekly Pop­watch and Dig­i­tal Hive. Unfor­tu­nately, nei­ther blog­ger appears to have dis­cov­ered the sec­ond site. Either they didn’t spot it, or the first site vastly over­shad­ows it. The for­mer is cer­tainly clever & unique, and deservedly gets the atten­tion, but I think the lat­ter would do bet­ter if not delib­er­ately “hid­den” as an Easter Egg behind one obscure link. Together they are the most tech­ni­cally com­plex and demand­ing sites I’ve ever designed & built, so I’m happy with any atten­tion they get.
