A Must See!! – An Open Source Documentary Film about Copyright

Welcome to Open Source Cinema | Open Source Cinema – An Open Source Documentary Film about Copyright.

So I just finished watching the absolutely brilliant and fascinating documentary RIP: A Remix Manifesto… Starting off with Girl Talk and cycling through the 20th Century of American pop culture in regards to copyright, free use and mashup culture, this documentary is fantastic. There’s some great arguments about how copyright changes in the US have affected art and culture growth, and how the internet and technology have played a part in not only changing that, but facilitating a boom in creativity unmatched in our lifetime…

This Open Source Cinema site is one remarkable example (created by the filmmaker) to further the points made in the doc. Here, people are encouraged to upload their own open source video for use by others, and to remix the materials already here, including the footage from the documentary to make it an ever growing and changing thing…

There’s also some fascinating bits in the doc on how Brazil as a country has revolutionized “remix” ideals not only in art and culture but in medicine and science… There’s a ton of stuff about the effects of the RIAA in the past decade or so and the stifling and misguided nature of their efforts of control…

Cooler still, you can watch the entire thing (as well as remix it yourself) on the open source cinema site… Check it out!

What is Paul?.

Haven’t had a chance to browse around too much, but this site looks like a pretty heavy dose of production background shenanigans from the set of an upcoming movie called “Paul”…

The cast looks great. Simon Pegg, Kristen Wigg, Seth Rogan, Jason bateman, etc…. The clips on the site are pretty hilarious as well….For example…

Zack & Miri Make a Porno

Zack & Miri Make a Porno
Well, I’m a big fan of Kevin Smith movies and I think overall this one didn’t disappoint. Pretty high on the laugh out loud scale without being the most hilarious thing I’ve ever seen. Elizabeth Banks is awesome and Jay never fails to be insanely funny. But the highlight character was probably Craig Robinson (best known as Daryll on The Office). He plays a fellow co-worker at the coffee shop and ends up being the producer for the flick because he just wants to see it.
Looking forward to multiple viewings as I think much like ‘Jay & Silent Bob Stike Back’, this movie will get better each time. The DVD extras were pretty funny as well (only made it through half of ‘em…). I had to chuckle as well at the setting. Takes place in Monroeville, PA (a place I lived when I was 5…) and there’s a cameo by the guy who plays ‘Sock’ in Reaper as a drunkin ass of a Steelers fan (always fun to see…).

Endless Sea – Iggy Pop (From Dogs In Space)…

This one just popped up on the iPod and I thought I’d see if there was a You Tube clippy… Sure enough… From one of my fave flicks back in the day “Dogs In Space“, starring Micheal Hutchence… This is a great song…
