questions

Mon, Feb 27, 2012

I felt a lot of disdain rolling off the screen for the very people that the Academy is allegedly honoring for actually finding that truth this past year…

question of the day: How many of the Oscar-nominated movies have you seen?

Fri, Feb 24, 2012
no comments yet

Do you typically, from year to year, make a point of seeing as many as you can? If you haven’t seen all or many of them, will you later try to see at least those that won?

question of the day: Should creative industries be allowed to discriminate on the basis of age, gender, and so on?

question of the weekend: What words do you always misspell?

Sat, Feb 18, 2012

I can never ever remember how to spell occasion, for instance: I always want to put two s’s in there, and it never looks right with either one or two.

question of the day: Will capitalism itself take down the copyright lobby?

Fri, Feb 17, 2012
no comments yet

Movies and TV aren’t dead, entertainment startup funder Y Combinator takes pains to note, only the Hollywood paradigm of making and distributing them. Is it inevitable that someone will come up with new ways of making money off entertainment that Hollywood either can’t see or is afraid to use?

no comments yet
