Weekend Media Links
A couple of other links I’ve been planning to mention here:
- Kim Middleton’s “Shot for Shot,” a discussion of some shot-for-shot remakes of the SNL “Lazy Sunday” video that turned YouTube into a household name. Kim mentions the example of “Lazy Sunday-Chinese Version,” which is a very funny riff on the original.
- Via CinemaTech, news that Netflix may be planning a $50 set-top box that would allow you to pull movies from the internet and watch them on your TV set. It seems likely that internet distribution will happen eventually, but as Jennifer Netherby points out, the low cost of the “box” is perhaps the most interesting aspect of the story.
