Movie Database - Wikipedia: An interesting few paragraphs on the
history of the IMDb.
The database started out in 1990 as a collection of shell scripts
created by Col Needham which could be used to search the FAQs posted
to the Usenet newsgroup rec.arts.movies.
In 1993, a centralized e-mail interface for querying the database
was created, and in 1994 this interface was extended to allow the
submission of information as well. The database then moved to a
Web-based interface, which initially ran on a network of mirrors with
donated bandwidth. In 1996, the project was incorporated in the United
Kingdom to form Internet Movie Database Ltd., and banner ads were
added to the web site.
In April 1998, the company was bought by Amazon.com, the current
owner; however, a number of the original creators, including Needham,
remained as site managers.
How many great things in the world started as shell scripts
somewhere? It's a hacker's world.

The title's somewhat literal as I'm a satisfied (and awed) user of the
IMDB (Internet Movie DataBase) and I'm been tickled ever since Tim
told me that I have a genuine personal IMDB profile after making the
soundtrack to his movie, CrossWalk.
I'm easily made happy. No shopping for my birthday will be needed
this year.

Digital outsells film, but film still
king to some
09/23/2004 06:06 PMMany professional photographers still prefer to use film, thanks to
continued advances in film technology, basic differences in how each
medium works and artistic preference. But digital is gaining ground in
the pro market as each generation of digital SLR camera improves
resolution and features.

I noticed a poster for a photo exhibit in a camera shop window and
decided to go have a look since the theme was interesting. Valkok
ankaan Sankarit, Heroes of the Screen, is a provocative collection
of photographs by Malla Hukkanen taken around Finland of tiny movie
theatres that are quickly becoming a thing of the past. Hukkanen tells
the story of these indie theatres in vivid colour on 35mm and
panoramic film. I took my time looking at the faces of the people he
captured so poignantly in and around their theatres and wondered if
they were still in business. I'd love to see more of his work.
I have never really liked the giant 20 screen megaplex theatres that
are so common in the US nowadays as they often show the same movies
for weeks on end, have stale popcorn and they're as large and
impersonal as a shopping mall. The small independent theatres have
fresh popcorn, interesting films and often a small staff who remember
your name if you're a movie junkie. It's ironic how the people who
evangelise how the internet and social software are "revolutionising"
our social lives when, at every turn, nearly every part of our daily
lives away from the computer are becoming more and more impersonal and
isolated. Hukkanen's photos will likely be a testament to the future
of a time when people went to see movies and each other without the
aid of a computer.
The Living Picture Museum [Elävän Kuvan Museo] is hidden away in a
small warehouse in an out of the way neighbourhood, but it has an
impressive collection of projection cameras and movie theatre
ephemera, including an ushers costume from Kinopalatsi last worn in
the last 1960s. It's a short walk from the Sörnäinen metro station and
it's worth the trip if you wax nostalgic over old movie theatres or
enjoy photography that tells a story.

Film ain't dead yet
Film ain't dead yet

A photo taken on New Year's Eve which we spent at a friend's house
with several other couples and their children who didn't stop moving
all evening. It was one of the very first shots taken with the Leica
and a really old roll of C-41 process B&W film I happened to have
around. I'm impressed that I captured her smirk in spite of the low
light, her dervishness and my rusty manual camera reflexes. The
picture would have been totally different had I taken it with a
digital camera and I'm not entirely certain it would have been a
presentable photo.
Recently, Kodak
announced that it plans to discontinue a number of products including
their line of APS film cameras which, if you believe a lot of the
chicken little reports around the net, means the end of film
photography as we have known it for the past century. Well, aside from
the bias that people in the insular world of the internet tend to
place on everything from Dean to the blog revolution, film is not
doomed or otherwise obsolete even if all the kids who wouldn't part
with their digital cameras say it is. The market Kodak is getting out
of is one that has gone digital but there are plenty of film fanatics,
film cameras and film processing labs out there to keep film in
business for many more years.
I succumbed to the siren call of a digital camera about 3 years ago
and, while I think digital has helped me to become a better
photographer, I don't know that it has produced better photos than a
film camera. I recently read Why
digital cameras = better photographers which is a nicely
done article on what makes digital attractive but, judging by a lot of
the digital photos I've seen around the net in comparison to the film
photos, I don't know that this is entirely true. Digital has produced
a lot more photographers and photos so that the odds of there being
more and better pictures is greater than before. I often wonder how
many great photographers there would have been in the 1920s and 1930s
had there been as many film cameras in the hands of people as there
are now. A digital SLR gives you enough exposure feedback to get a
feel for what the camera is doing which you can then take back to your
film camera, but most digital cameras are completely automatic. People
are taking more pictures and enjoying their cameras more so digital is
a boon for getting more people interested in photography. However,
this is not the death knell for film. Not yet anyway.
I'm getting back into film partly due to many of the inspiring
photoblogs I've found at Photoblogs.org in which many of
them have pictures taken on film that appeal to me far more than many
of the digital photos I've seen or taken myself. Both formats have
their strengths and weaknesses for me and, I suspect, they are similar
for others.
Digital
-
weaknesses
-
DSLR is big, bulky, and heavy. Intimidates people at times.

Batteries; aside from needing charging, they don't live long in cold
conditions.
-
It can crash at unexpected times without warning.
-
Shutter lag.
-
Lower light sensitivity.
-
Archival concerns with digital format.
-
Lots of equipment needed just to view and print pictures at home.

-
Film has the capacity to surprise in ways that digital never will.
-
No batteries necessary.

No shutter lag.
-
Fewer buttons and gadgets.
-
No CPU to crash at unexpected times.
The Elph is a fun little digital camera that I can take in my pocket
anywhere and use for photographic post-it notes or fun candids to
share. The 10D may gather some dust for a while since the Leica and
the Lomo are a lot easier to carry around and they seem to
capture more interesting images as perfection doesn't leave a lot of
room for creative imperfection.

"Independent" Film. What is it?
04/15/2005 06:29 PM
I don't know what "independent film" means. At a time
when the
W
einsteins are trying to extricate themselves from Disney, it seems
an appropriate question to ask. There are Indie films (non-industry
money) that are
supposed to imitate fancy hollywood films, there are new studios being
opened outside of LA by Wealthy Christians in Denver hoping to convert
through
CS Lewis
movies and there are
Garden State,
Lost in Translation,
Eternal Sunshine etc.
which are like other Hollywood films: have stars, and studio money but
are marketed as "Independent Films." What makes these
independent? Finally, and seemingly too infrequently, there are
privately financed and self-distributed unusual films like
Assisted Living
which despite their
obvious merits and the
critic's<
/a>
adoration are presumably ignored by the studios, blasted by the brain-numbing
EW and distributed instead by the two young first-time
filmmakers
Why can't we see more non-hollywood and non-hollywood espousing
independent ART on the screen? Why do we let every other
multi-million dollar romantic comedy be sold to us as "indy"
just because it has a quirky soundtrack or aesthetic sensibility.
What can we do about it? I'm going to the movies. You?

11/19/2003 10:24 PM Taking it public. Ethan Hawke is
looking for investors for his new movie,
"Billy Dead".
For $8.75 a share of preferred stock (and only in blocks of 100 -
ticker symbol "BILLY"), Hawke hopes to raise about US $7.3
Million through his broker,
Civilian Capital. According to a
consultant with Civilian, potential investors will be able to
"invest in a film maker, a story or a star."
Is this ushering in a new golden age of public media ownership, or an
age of increased corporate hegemony? Also, for what other artforms
would you like to see such investment opportunites? Finally, in what
directors/actors/storylines etc. would
you like to invest?
