Lawrence Lessig
A few weeks back I had the pleasure of talking with Lawrence Lessig. He was kind of enough to take time out of his busy schedule to sit and talk about his newest book “Remix – Making Art and Commerce Thrive in the Hybrid Economy.”
The Thing with Two Heads (1972) Lee Frost
Here’s one from the b-movie vault. Remember seeing this for the first time when I was 12 – late night on some bad VHS copy and thinking it was kick ass.
Couch Surfing
Been playing with the Western Digital WD TV HD Media Player and the $99 device is impressive. Simple setup – just need a USB drive and a mac or pc. The device enables you to view / listen to a wide range of still, video, and audio formats via the comfort of your living room. 42”plasma + WD TV = tons of media fun
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE FABULOUS STAINS (1981) Lou Adler
Finally LAGTFS is released on DVD. Lost in the vaults of Paramount for years. Starring a 15 year-old Diane Lane. Members of the Clash and Sex Pistols stand in as band members. Interesting depiction of the punk movement from a feminist POV.
GOOD COPY BAD COPY (2007)
Interesting doc on copyright. featuring girltalk, RJD2, Santagold and Danger Mouse.
LET THE RIGHT ONE IN (2008) Tomas Alfredson
One of my favs of the year. unexpected in so many ways. nice play on the vampire genre.
PRETTY POISON (1968) Noel Black
Staring Anthony Perkins and Tuesday Weld. Cult classic out of print in the US but worth a viewing if you get a chance. A drifter who insist he works for the CIA hooks up with a highschool cheerleader who’s father owns a lumber yard. Arson, murder and mayhem ensue.
