Tom Gunning and others on travel films

This was posted by Peter Jackson's official "The Hobbit" Blog. It seems to correlate to a lot of the things we're talking about, its essentially someone remixing the LOTR films. I just find it amazing that it could get noticed by the film makers and then reposted to his several hundrad thousand followers.

# 87... The Rehetoric of space...especially p. 5-6 and the "travel gaze"

Using Koyaanisqatsi as a way of familiarizing students with hypertext

A while back I blogged about wanting to find sites like Goodreads for movies and music.  I have discovered that FLIXSTER IS EVIL and should be avoided at all costs.  Mubi is kind of  a cool alternative.  It has a great design, which is fun, but its main focus is NOT the social aspect of it; it basically seems that it is trying to be a Netflix-like business plan.  But you can make reviews and lists, and it doesn't spam all your friends and coworkers. 

This is the website for Banksy's documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop.

This is an amazing film, I watched it a few months back and was blown away by it, if art interests you at all this is a must see. It's on netflix instant if anyone's interested.
