    Example of the kind of MTV music video Jenkins talks about in Textual Poachers - non-narrative, the opposite in many ways to the fan videos that are remixed from popular TV series.

  • It turns out you could play make-out music, show slow-mo clips of any two male actors interacting, throw up suggestive title cards (“a truth they couldn’t deny”) and — presto — any American blockbuster could be shown to chronicle love between two men

      Interesting - and this is also relevant to Kurdin's trailer where she shows an example of Harry Potter as a Brokeback Mountain spoof. I also like the way in which the author of this article draws a conclusion that CROSSES all the remixes - the many similar remixes make an argument as a group, in a way?
  • what’s the larger point of the “Downfall” remixes?
  • satirists who for years have been snatching video and audio from “Downfall,” the 2004 German movie of Hitler’s demise, and doctoring it to tell a range of stories about personal travails and world politics.

      This should be useful for Kim's project!
  • the lesson of the parodies seems to be that “Downfall” was a closeted Hitler comedy. Having seen the spoofs before seeing the movie, I find it virtually impossible now to watch the film with a straight face
  • many of the “Downfall” parodies choose not to have Ganz-as-Hitler directly ventriloquize another politician or figure of derision. Instead, as with the Malaysian parody, the spoofs often make the new speaker a disappointed supporter of a public figure.

    Interesting NYTimes article about the many creative subtitlings of the scene from Downfall (a 2004 movie about Hitler's demise) - this article is a wonderful example of how you can analyse a whole group of remixes. If this were an academic article you'd also want to include more context about this (what is remixing? what kinds of other video/subtitle remixes exist? what sort of things are scholars writing about remixes like this?) but the ANALYSIS of what the remixes means would be perfect. I especially like how the author makes interpretations across the whole group - see some of my annotations/comments.

    A great video. A world made only with typographics. Is that a remix culture? I hope you like it!

    Oh, I love this. I'm not sure whether it's remix - that would depend on your definition. It certainly repurposes letters/words in an interesting way. I'm intrigued by whether or not this is "literature", too. The story itself is rather simplistic, but it's so beautiful to watch, almost more visual art/poetry/music than narrative, although there IS a narrative there. Interesting too that it's made "for a DJ". That suggests that the music and the FEELING are the focus here? Thanks, Thais!
