If you’re a hitman. The rules are simple. Don’t fall in love with your target. And if you do, don’t try to cover it up with a photo mock up featuring tomato sauce and the old machete in the arm pit trick. And, failing that, definitely don’t get caught canoodling with your would be victim, especially don’t let the person who paid you catch you…
This, sadly, is not a hypothetical set of happenings.
Only in Brazil…
Codename 47. The Hitman of the legendary Hitman stealth game series. Has a barcode on the back of his neck. So it’s appropriate that the Hitman movie is the movie I use to point you to this “movies as barcodes” thing.
You can get the source code to make movie barcodes here.
Here’s The Godfather.
There’s a tumblog here with a billion different movie barcodes (perhaps a slight exaggeration).

My fixation with ninjas is well documented… but did you also know that I’m fascinated with assassins – largely due to two of my favourite game franchises – Hitman and Assassins Creed, and martial arts movies… So something bringing all of those elements together is enough to warrant a Sunday afternoon post. I give you the poster for “Ninja Assassin” possibly the most eagerly anticipated movie release of 2009 (except for Transformers 2)…
It’s directed by the guy who directed V for Vendetta, and the special effects were put together by the guy who did the Matrix and Speed Racer – so it should be awesome.
