Celluloid Notes - what are you watching?

Celluloid Notes - October 2007

Oh geez I haven't posted in forever...

So I haven't posted on here in weeks, and I know this isn't really interesting, but I've still been reading a lot of my favorite Orble blogs. I've been writing for a couple of different zines and things and preparing to move in the spring, so I've just allowed this site to fall to the wayside. But I have some pieces that are about ready and I will begin to post again. But until then I've most recently had a pieces published in Whistling Shade literary magazine, a review of Woody Allen's new book Mere Anarchy and also have a review of Alive Day Memories coming up this week on Film-Forward.com which is a reat review site, not the prettiest site you'll ever see, but has some great reviews.

Here's my Woody Allen review
I've also been out gunfightin'...
I've also been involved in a lot of gun fights lately

Robert Greenwald's Brave New Films vol. 1

SO I do'nt actually believe that we are on the doorstep of war with Iran, but I have no doubt that we have been moving, subtly and not so subtly, in that direction for years. And i also believe there is a dangerous game of follow the leader being played by American new networks, more prevelent in smaller issues. The notion that fluff "news" shows like Entertainment Tonight hae modeled themselves on the look and feel of news networks to lend themselves credibility is well known. Most obviosuly they are modeled on the look of CNN. But now new networks like CNN see them as competition for those advertising dollars, so they have turned the game around and covring stories that are meant to be on fluff news. I see news pieces of Owen Wilson, Paris hilton, Brittany Spears every day on CNN, it's unbelievable and I think it's the result of a financial follow the leader happening in hte news world. It's kind of silly. Anyhow that was just supposed to be a preface to my posting of this video, it's pretty heavy handed but it has a very valid point. FOXnews is free to whaever they want as the independent establishment they are, you don't have to agree with them, I don't, but they are free to do there biased silly "news" shows, but what you can do is tell the other news stations that it's no ok to emulate them, because you don't support that... I don't know I'm not very good at this sort of thing, watch the video, it's interesting. Greenwald's Brave New Films is trying to get people to take action, I'm not telling you to, but I think that at least seeing both sides and being educated on what's happening behind the scenes in the news world is important.
