I'm still downloading this, but you might be interested in a tangentially related video, Manufacturing Consent in which Chomsky talks about how mass media is manipulated or structured to create political blocs which wouldn't otherwise exist. I enjoyed it.Gawdzilla wrote:

Halfway through Season 1 of The West Wing. The wife and I will probably get through all 7 seasons over the next few months.

Re: What Are You Watching Now?
I turned on the TV and landed in the middle of the party scene of the movie "Piranha".
Jerry O'Connell is lying on the boat after his legs have been gnawed off screaming "Did they get my penis!" Next shot is underwater while a piranha inhales a loose penis floating around.
If you like gory horror stuff this one's a classic.

Re: What Are You Watching Now?
Just finished Numb3rs, episode "Scan Man." A bit disappointed - I see they want to honor some great movies with these sort-of-copycat episodes, but is there really only one way for an actor to play an autism spectrum savant? 
"The internet is made of people. People matter. This includes you. Stop trying to sell everything about yourself to everyone. Don’t just hammer away and repeat and talk at people—talk TO people. It’s organic. Make stuff for the internet that matters to you, even if it seems stupid. Do it because it’s good and feels important. Put up more cat pictures. Make more songs. Show your doodles. Give things away and take things that are free." - Maureen J

New fun thing. (A companion piece to watching subtitled movies with your own music as a soundtrack.)
Assemble a folder of great youtube music videos, and play them on the big screen while listening to an unrelated playlist. Some of the juxtaposition is almost transcendent.

Re: What Are You Watching Now?
Hmmm. Maybe I should pay more attention to these videos. I glance up from my reading just in time to catch the final picture of the picture show video of Shonen Knife's "I Am A Cat". It's a photo of a kitten bounding across a pastoral patch of grass. The exact image which is composited with two Domokun in the classic internet meme, "Every time you masturbate, God kills a kitten. Please, think of the kittens." Maybe I'm out of line here, but I don't think that was the wisest choice of image to use.
