That basic uncertainty about the media, perhaps best exemplified by watching CNN and other major networks trying to catch up with Twitter right after the Iranian election, makes the topic so much fun. The media(?) keeps morphing the more you try to study how it works.The Film Doctor https://www.blogger.com/profile/03073505923746994988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704583061723470804.post-70586093524978467242009-07-31T22:17:41.872-04:002009-07-31T22:17:41.872-04:00I've known many writers.

I don't own a cell phone, tweet, or Facebook either, but I do find the massive shifts in media (or something--I thought about calling the post "Notable Film and [ ] Links") very interesting. Gawker made fun of Anderson's combative tone in the interview, but I still think his <i>Free</i> book makes compelling points. Also, for all of Chris' talk of moving beyond the old media, many of the best links that I find still come from newspapers and magazines. That's what's fun about the changeover--the drama of the older media hanging on, and yet being forced to adapt.<br /><br />One thing I disagree with--when Chris says "The vast majority of people online write for free. We've tried paying some of our bloggers and they thought it was insulting. They're not doing it for the money, they're doing it for attention and reputation, or just for fun." <i>I</i> wouldn't be insulted.The Film Doctor https://www.blogger.com/profile/03073505923746994988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704583061723470804.post-20207663343977203212009-07-31T10:18:17.193-04:002009-07-31T10:18:17.193-04:00Many thanks for tipping me off to the Chris Anders...Many thanks for tipping me off to the Chris Anderson interview. I really have to apply myself and invent a time machine, because I'm so hopelessly out of the loop. His words make me realize I really have no connection anymore. I don't even own a cell phone. His hard, defensive attitude comes from a culture void of humility, but big on the suggestions within posed imagery. They tweak and twitter and give me the creeps.<br /><br />How did they do that time/dimension transportation thing in <i>La Jetee</i>? Maybe I can try doing that...Uncle Gustavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08501032829800803300noreply@blogger.com
