The Rance Who Wasn't There
05/27/2004 05:07 PMOK, no one really believes he's Owen Wilson, George Clooney, or Mister
Potatohead anymore -- but we still don't know who
Rance is. The true
identity of the much-hyped Hollywood blogger is the subject of a
Reuters story today. WhatEVER. I could care less. "Who's Rance" is so,
like, three weeks ago. "Who's
Defamer" is what I want to know.

Cartoonist Mark Bode interview
Cartoonist Mark Bode interview
05/27/2004 01:59 PMMark Bode is the son of 1970's cartoonist Vaughn Bode, best known for
his Cheech Wizard comics that appeared in
National Lampoon.
Vaughn died in the '70s, and Mark has taken over his father's work.
Mark can draw and write in a way that's almost indistinguishable from
his father's work. In this interview he talks about his 30-years-in
the-making book,
The Lizard of Oz, to be released by
Fantagraphics.
BB: I know that, given a cursory glance,
your and Vaughn's styles are incredibly similar. I was wondering,
though, if you tried to more closely mimic his style -- whether in the
actual drawing or the storytelling and design aspects of the page --
consciously or not?
MB: Before I knew what was reality here on this
planet, my father, when I was 4 or 5 years old, led me to believe his
characters were real. He said Cheech lived up the hill by the Projects
near where we lived in Syracuse, NY. And we used to visit his
laboratory, which was an old sewer hole cover. But Cheech never came
out. I said, "Dad, why doesn't he come out?" He replied, "He is busy
balling broads or doin' important wizard stuff, son." Thus, as my
imagination and drawing abilities developed, I found it easy to draw
and live in that world he created. No effort, what so ever. Although I
have many other styles at my disposal, I am most happy when I'm in
his, or our, style ...

Communist hymn is in copyright -
filmmaker fined
Communist hymn is in copyright -
filmmaker fined
04/09/2005 05:56 AMCory Doctorow:
The Internationale is the hymn of the Fourth International Communist
Party. My parents, being good reds, used to sing it every New Year's
Eve at the stroke of midnight, with all the comrades at the socialist
New Year's gathered round the record player to sing along with the
soundtrack from
Reds. It is quite a stirring anthem, and has
been translated into dozens of languages, and is sung the world
'round.
Weirdly, this 19th century song is still in copyright in France, and
a French filmmaker has just been fined about $1300 for letting a
character in one of his films whistle the tune (you can hear
a very modern synth-pop take on the tune courtesy of Maxx Klaxon here).
The irony factor here is much deeper than, say, the irony surrounded
JibJab's
appropriation of Woody Guthrie's This Land. Guthrie was a
socialist, sure, but the Internationale is a call to arms to abolish
private property, eliminate international borders, and throw off your
chains and rise up to smash the state. Hard to imagine that the
long-dead creator of that song is having his wishes honored by French
collecting societies shaking down people who make use of it for cash.
The 19th-century revolutionary hymn was written by Eugene Pottier in
1871 and set to music by another Frenchman, Pierre Degeyter, in
1888...
Under French law, "The Internationale" won't fall into the public
domain until 2014 — 70 years of post-mortem protection plus extra
time to cover the world war. Degeyter died in 1932....
[The film] hardly paid its own way, opening briefly in a single Paris
theater and selling just 203 tickets, Le Monde reported.

Monkey Business Something else happened during
that chaotic scene, something that convinced Chen of the monkeys' true
grasp of money. Perhaps the most distinguishing characteristic of
money, after all, is its fungibility, the fact that it can be used to
buy not just food but anything. During the chaos in the monkey cage,
Chen saw something out of the corner of his eye that he would later
try to play down but in his heart of hearts he knew to be true. What
he witnessed was probably the first observed exchange of money for sex
in the history of monkeykind. (Further proof that the monkeys truly
understood money: the monkey who was paid for sex immediately traded
the token in for a grape.)
