Ms. I Don’t Know How to View a Rough Cut Lady
I just laughed my arse off, listening to Rough Cut Lady, a parody of the Bud Lite Real Men of Genius radio ads. If you’re in the film/video post-production business, you’ll get it. It reminds me of several Executive Producers I’ve had to work with.

Brisco on DVD!
That’s right— The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. is finally being released on DVD! Huzzah! So, those of you with bootlegs, now’s the time to get rid of ’em. 😉

V for Vendetta
MoreI’m going to go ahead and recommend this movie, though I hope I’m not just being a blind-eyed fanboy. Not that I should be— I haven’t read the comic (though I do usually enjoy Alan Moore), and the Wachowski brothers have done more to piss me off with the Matrix sequels than I could have […]

Getting Video onto Your iPod
Here, I was, all ready to do a clever video tutorial on how to use Handbrake to rip video from your DVDs to your 5G iPod (aka, iPod with video), and I see there’s a clever app called iSquint that is optimized for doing just that.

And then, of course, there’s getting all that meta–data into the file… Hmmm…. seems like there’s call for an all-encompassing tutorial after all.

Lost
I’m quite addicted to Lost, and came across this link on MeFi today, postulating the numbers in the show are linked to a book called "Genetic Mirror Theory and other Natuarlly Occuring Phenomenon," by Marsille Roussau.
Of course, seeing as how this book and author don’t seem to actually exist, the possibility remains that this is just another fun goosechase by the Lost creators.
Fun note— in the last of these links, embedded in the code of the web page are the messages:
If anyone should find this message, please get word I’m alive and stranded on an island somewhere in the South Pacific. Please send help soon. Things are bad. And they’re getting worse…
Sally
and…
I survived a horrific plane crash and am stranded on an island somewhere Northeast of Australia and Southwest of Hawaii. In the event that I am never found, please forward word of my fate to my parents.

Spoiler: A Comedy Film Project
This project was developed by the son of an editor I’ve been working with. I haven’t watched the films yet (there are several for download on the site), but the concept looks really good.
