NIN Countdown: Hurt

The Nine Inch Nails concert next week is coming up fast, and I’m pumped. To get you pumped as well, I figured I’d jazz you up with a little something I got by way of Rassi.

Viacom is Pretty Clueless

Yeah yeah, I’m mostly a reblog with comments these days, so bite me.

Attention, Viacom executives: See that TV-looking thing above this post? It’s called “embedded video.” It’s what you get when you don’t lock up your content like Rapunzel in a tower, and when you let people who actually like your shows share them with other people. These people are called “fans.” The sharing is called “free publicity.” There’s a theory that these things are good for media companies. #

No to mention the audiences abroad (Europe… That other continent), who largely have no way of seeing these fantastic shows.

Joystiq and Cinematical Annoyances

I hate hate hate that Cinematical and Joystiq posts always start with an ‘introductory paragraph’. It’s like they have a certain post- and word-count they need to hit every day, and the result is too much bla-bla-blaing.

John Milius on Apocalypse Now

I picked up The Apocalypse Now Book recently, and I’m eager to read it. Few movies—in fact, I can’t think of any off the top of my head—are as all-engrossing and poetic to me as Apocalypse Now.

I would buy the recent Dossier edition DVD set, but it still isn’t available in Denmark, and Sandrew-Metronome won’t allow for Danish stores to carry the region 1 set. Understandable; imagine what would happen if I could just walk into a store and buy it?! The horror. The horror.

Film Editing Documentary

I highly recommend “this hour and a half documentary on film editing”:http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1873681186241686073.

Update: Sorry, it’s gone.

The is a documentary about the unappreciated art of film editing. It shows how film editing came about, and explains all the groundbreaking … all » ways it has changed the film watching experience. There are a bunch of interviews from big names in the film industry including Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, Steven Spielberg, Jodie Foster, and many more. This is really a must see for any big film buff.

Update: Aha! It turns out that it is available for purchase on Amazon! Thanks Goose.

Why Games Are Expensive

You hate shelling out all your savings on games? Yeah, me too. But there’s a reason games are so expensive.

Looking for Competent Designer

I’ve had some web design dealings with a local company here in Copenhagen. They’re looking for a good web designer (to replace me, since I don’t have the time), and I promised to help them find one.

They are preferably looking for one living in or around Copenhagen who is capable of stepping up as soon as possible.
