Star Wars Uncut
The Star Wars Uncut project is finally complete! The entire film was reconstructed in fifteen-second sections. Each fifteen-second partition was produced by a different person.
The fact that a community would come together to collaborate on something like this is the reason I love science fiction. Fans are so incredibly passionate about what they love.
Not For the Money or the Fame
AKA Why the news/talk/variety genres of television actually matter.
AKA what bothers me about pretentious film douchebags and why I’m not an artist.
I recently switched into a class called “Creative Principles and Practices” to finish my marketing minor. It’s interesting, because the whole reason I switched into this class was because I didn’t think I had the time to be creative. We were asked to write blog posts about anything that inspired us, and to the surprise of no-one, I find myself inspired by television**. I was originally in a directing class and there was something about the whole class just bugged me. All I wanted to do was learn more about basic framing and shot selection and everyone else was so concentrated on being an artist, something for which I had very little patience. It’s ironic in the least ironic way that I instead ended up in a class that is concentrated on just that, making us all artists.
A seriously incredible article written by a good friend of mine. Read it. It literally speaks BOUNDS about why I love television and the people who love it.

Consider today’s online world. The Usenet, a worldwide bulletin board, allows anyone to post messages across the nation. Your word gets out, leapfrogging editors and publishers. Every voice can be heard cheaply and instantly. The result? Every voice is heard. The cacophany more closely resembles citizens band radio, complete with handles, harrasment, and anonymous threats. When most everyone shouts, few listen. How about electronic publishing? Try reading a book on disc. At best, it’s an unpleasant chore: the myopic glow of a clunky computer replaces the friendly pages of a book. And you can’t tote that laptop to the beach. Yet Nicholas Negroponte, director of the MIT Media Lab, predicts that we’ll soon buy books and newspapers straight over the Intenet. Uh, sure.Clifford Stoll “The Internet. Bah!” Newsweek

I will never not reblog a re-imagined Star Wars poster.
