Alan Moore om crowdfunding, overvågning og Internet

Citat:

I remember watching “Fall Out,” that final episode of “The Prisoner,” on I think a Wednesday night when I was around 13. And I can remember that scene where the whole series seems to break down into an absurdist collage. Where McGoohan’s Number Six finally confronts the mysterious Number One, who has been unseen throughout the series but is now a hooded figure. McGoohan pulls off his hood and there is a crude, rubber ape mask underneath. McGoohan pulls off the ape mask, and there is Patrick McGoohan underneath, laughing maniacally. Even at the age of 13, I dimly remember what that meant, that moment when he reveals that they are the same. It was answering the question, “Who is the one who restricts us and makes us all prisoners?” And I think McGoohan’s answer to that was incredibly liberating. It’s us, isn’t it?

Youtube Movies: Google værner om kulturarven

Jeg ved ikke, om alle I andre havde set dette, men jeg havde i hvert fald ikke.

YouTube har fået en spillefilmskanal, hvor man nu kan se adskillige hundrede spillefilm i en lang række genrer. Det er ikke blockbusters og ikke just A-film alle sammen, men der er ikke desto mindre en imponerende samling med mange klassikere imellem. Herover ses et meget lille udpluk af de tilgængelige horror-film. I går aftes sad jeg og så Scream Blacula Scream, en se- men måske ikke mindeværdig blacksploitation-vampyrsag fra 1973.

Ikke helt på linje med Google Books, men underholdning til en ledig aftenstund er der nok af.
