The problem with M. Night Shyamalan 08/29/2004 12:27 AM
Since his breakthrough film 'The Sixth Sense', director M. Night Shyamalan has made three more films culminating in the recently released 'The Village'. This is a look at what keeps the director from greatness via a discussion of the twists and plot devices he has become known for. Be warned, in discussing them, I pretty much give away every twist he's ever done. **SPOILERS ABOUND**

Shyamalan accused of plagiarism over
"Village," audiences accuse film of
sucking 08/16/2004 10:46 AM
Writer-director M Night Shyamalan (Sixth Sense, Signs) may face legal action over accusations that his latest project, The Village, was plagiarized from a children's book. The source in question: "Running Out of Time" by Margaret Peterson Haddix, published by Simon and Schuster in 1995. While the matter of plagiarism is open to debate, evidently the movie's suck factor is not. Last week, one blogger/culture crit pal was so distressed at the stinker he'd paid two digits to see in a Manhattan theater that he text-messaged me halfway through -- "OMG THIS IS THE WORST MOVIE EVER." He was not alone in this assessment. L ink (via MeFi, which includes a handy list of other films accused of plagiarism in recent years)

That magic moment

That magic moment 03/26/2005 09:34 AM

Here's a photo James Hong shot at PC Forum. As James describes it:

I HAD to take a picture of this potentially historic moment.. Kim Cameron (Microsoft) and Mitchell Baker (Mozilla) discussing the possibility of cooperating on Open Identity!! Do it guys!! It'll change the world and make the Net feel safe again.

Craig Burton has his own version of the story.....

Doc Searls arranged a meeting yesterday beween Mitchell Baker and Kim Cameron to discuss the possibility  of Mozilla supporting Kim's Open Identity System. Since the meeting was at the PC Forum, and I live in Scottsdale, I was lucky enough to be sitting at the table during the event. It was so cool when Mitchell groked what Kim was proposing.

Of course she didn't make any commitments, but it was obvious that her wheels were turning. I think history was made. Wouldn't it be cool if Firefox supported Kim's Open Identity System, It felt like a real magic moment.

If I were Mozilla, I would jump all over it!

Later: James Hong was also there and took a photo of the moment. He posted the uri in the comments but I thought it should be up front. Thanks James!

And Doc puts it this way (on his IT Garage):

If you're wondering about the power of podcasting, stay tuned for what's happening to bring identity to the suite of Internet services. (for details on the meaning of that phrase, see Craig Burton's Internet Services Model). Back on December 31, Steve Gillmor convened a Gillmor Gang podcast of a conversation about identity. On the 'cast were Craig, Kim Cameron, Dave Winer, Drummond Reed, Marc Canter, Bryan Field-Elliot, Phil Windley and myself. (For more background on the 'cast, see this post here.) There were so many on the 'cast that it became known as The Gaggle.

The conversation continued, to say the least.

So in other words - if you ever wondered whatever happened with FOAFnet and my identity efforts, I've been working the back channels, insider games and politics of the Commons - trying to make sure everyone was talkng to each other.

Our own solution is Sxip Networks - but anyone should be able to use their own solution, and plug into a 'identity backplane' that.....

OOoppps - we're still not ready to announce - yet. Stay tuned till DIDW in May. It'll be big.

The only bummer was that Dave Winer wasn't there. His concerns on Microsoft drove us to create this 'bottoms up' effort. Clearly MS will worry about the top-down ramifications of their actions, but 'we're' helping them - from the bottom up.

Maybe Dave can come to DIDW this year?

Moment of Cy Twombly zen

Moment of Cy Twombly zen 06/05/2005 11:42 PM
Xeni Jardin: From a New York Times article on a retrospective of the artist's work in Houston:

He sat facing the gallery's largest painting, an allegory of Orpheus' trip to the underworld, 13 feet high and a whopping 52 feet long. Painted between 1972 and 1994, it has been called by assorted names, including, "Say Goodbye, Catullus, to the Shores of Asia Minor" - a reference to the Roman poet who, like Mr. Twombly, deftly mixed learned allusion and earthy expression.

With evident pleasure, the artist recounted the painting's effect on a young Frenchwoman who visited the gallery some years ago. The lone guard found her standing in front of the vivid whorls, scattered verses and bright splatters of color, totally nude.

"Right here in this room!" Mr. Twombly affirmed. He was delighted, he said. "Wouldn't you be? That's pretty good. No one can top that one. Come on. How many people ?"

His words then evaporated like the mysterious markings that twitter across his works before seemingly lifting off and wafting away.

The guard, Guillermo Leguizamon, recalls gathering his wits and telling the museum visitor, "I can admire your beauty, madam, but if you don't put on your clothes, you'll be more famous than Cy Twombly himself." She dressed and departed, leaving a message in the guest book: "The painting makes me want to run naked."

Close to 3 million of the devices have now been sold, and they’re expected to soon outsell portable CD players… ‘I never used to see people walking around listening to music on the streets,’ said Moby. ‘Now everywhere I go, I see the iPod’s white headphones.’”[Jun 4]

Moment of pirated Chinese DVD zen

Moment of pirated Chinese DVD zen 12/24/2004 12:29 PM
Xeni Jardin: Image: the cover of a pirated "Kill Bill" DVD in China with the headline "HERE COMES THE BRINE." BoingBoing reader Jon Rahoi says:

I'm living in mainland China for a couple of months. The dearth of English TV and the terrible quality of Chinese shows made me set out, on my very first day, to a local DVD store.

They're on every street. These people must listen to and watch a fair number of movies and CDs. But since the average wage here is, very roughly, US$150 a month, and the average DVD costs about US$15 back home, how can they afford it? Do they get a continental discount?

I walked in and got right to the discount rack. Dozens of American and foreign movies were on sale for 6RMB, about 75¢! The full-price ones ranged from 12-18RMB ($1.50 - $2.25.) Obviously, these are copies, fakes, pirate booty. But how good are they? For the sake of journalistic thoroughness, I bought 35 of them.

(...) The DVD cases are works of pirate art. They are all made in the same style from hard glossy cardboard. Cheaply made, but professionally graphically designed. They're so uniform, you can tell they almost all come from one maker. What makes them art, though, are the mistakes: made by a genius dyslexican who flunked the TOEFL. English literacy here is almost zero. A Chinese person picking up a movie to buy would not read the title, the quotes, the description, or the credits if they were in English. But any American movie case has to have English, right?

Here's a report on Jon's blog, Lin k, and here's another entry on the in-theater experience -- "To The Chinaplex": Lin k

BoingBoing reader Charles Lin adds,

I lived in China for a short while, and the pirated DVD's tend to have OCR errors. How they got "brine" from "bride" is a horrid mistake, but especially when it comes to recognizing movie blurbs and the blocks of credits on the back, most of the errors don't appear to be typing transcription errors, but OCR errors from a scanner. Much of the box art doesn't look like the American version because it's scanned in from foreign posters for the movies, which often are of a slightly different design.

A Welcome Moment of Political Civility

A Welcome Moment of Political Civility 06/15/2004 12:29 AM

Just watched the unveiling earlier today of the White House portraits of Bill Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton. The former and current presidents spoke with grace and good will, a rare moment of civility in a time of harsh, ugly partisanship. My favorite moment in Bush's speech was this:

"The years have done a lot to clarify the strengths of this man. As a candidate for any office, whether it be the state attorney general or the President, Bill Clinton showed incredible energy and great personal appeal. As chief executive, he showed a deep and far-ranging knowledge of public policy, a great compassion for people in need, and the forward-looking spirit the Americans like in a President. Bill Clinton could always see a better day ahead -- and Americans knew he was working hard to bring that day closer."

And from Clinton:

"Most of the people I've known in this busines -- Republicans and Democrats, conservatives and liberals -- were good people, honest people, and they did what they thought was right. And I hope that I'll live long enough to see American politics return to vigorous debates where we argue who's right and wrong, not who's good and bad. My experience is that most of the people I've known in this work are good people who love their country desperately."
