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.

12/22/2004 01:49 AMI love books, I love browsing stacks, I love libraries, I love
Powell's in Portland, I like collecting books, I always have a stack
nearby to read, I love looking through picture books, and I love books
even though I didn't really become much of a reader until the end of
my college years (I never read for fun until then). Plunging into the
Internet fed my book addiction further, as I had to read dozens of
computer classics to get up to speed and stay ahead of the curve.
Every computer desk I've had until recently was flanked by bookshelves
loaded with titles.
Earlier this year, I remember hearing Cory
Doctorow give a talk about how ebooks were going to rule the world
and folks would abandon the printed page for the laptop screen. I
thought it was a good talk, but I felt the thesis was a bit ahead of
its time. There's really no comparison between curling up with a book
and a blanket in front of a fireplace, versus trying to read thousands
of words on a screen.
Last weekend I was doing some house cleaning and I kept finding
stacks of books. A stack next to the reading chairs.
A stack on the coffee table. A stack beside my bed. All these stacks
contained books I bought in 2004, but never read. Some, I got halfway
through, but even more I got maybe ten pages in. A few I never even
cracked open.
When I think back to the last three books I enjoyed, they were all
heard on my iPod,
while on a road trip. I can't recall the last book I finished in
my hands.
I'm going to take a holiday trip soon to a fairly remote location
where there's not much to do besides read. I'm going to sit and read
the
only book I've wanted to read this year, and I have a feeling it
might just be one of the last dead tree books I read for a long
time.
As much as I didn't agree with Cory back during his E-tech talk,
I'm finally realizing it's coming true in my own life. I read
thousands of words everyday on my monitors and I rarely take time to
read anything on the printed page, and there's no sign of reversal on
that trend. The scariest thing for the bookfan inside me is that I
don't think it's bad thing, either.
Long live the ebook. Long live the audiobook. So long, dead
trees.
Dead Like Me - Dead or Alive?
Dead Like Me - Dead or Alive?
02/01/2005 09:59 PMIn television these days, there is hardly a show that doesn’t
have the blood flowing or the boobies showing. It is hard to find a
show that makes it on wit alone. Till a few weeks ago, I thought I had
found the saving grace with Showtime’s original show, Dead Like
Me. I guess a few executives didn’t share my opinion. The fight
is far from over though. In the past shows would have died…

"Independent" Film. What is it?
"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?

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.
