Ad Nauseum: Loan Arranger
Tuesday May 11th 2010I have no doubt that when a commercial is run often enough, you get the message. Thus is the case with “I buy your used jewelery” commercials. There are several different commercials that run for this company. I think my favorite one to hate is the Loan Arranger. Does that man have any idea how ridiculous the whole concept is? Standing outside his store wearing a cowboy outfit waving money around all the while saying “I’m the Loan Arranger, oh yeah”?

Cable industry to talk convergence at confab
Monday May 10th 2010As the cable TV industry gathers this week in Los Angeles for its annual convention, the theme is convergence with Hollywood and Silicon Valley. That sounds promising, but even as cable celebrates recent upbeat earnings and success in selling telephone and data delivery, questions linger about the future.

Hot Docs Hightlights (Act 2 – War)
Friday May 07th 2010James Elkins once wrote, “There are things we do not see, things we can not see and things we refuse to see.” It is blindness. Seeing involves more than opening our eyes. Traumatic events have a huge impact on the sight and memory of those who experience them and none more so than those who have lived through a war. The act of creating a documentary provides to us with a visual artifact: a new chance to see the event, to gain a different perspective and to expand our social vision. At its best, a documentary provokes new thought and discussion, sounding its distinct voice into the muddy darkness.
