Digital Newspapers, the Future?

(Start clip at 1:34 to see digital Newspaper) With all the talk about the future of newspapers, I thought about another part of the Minority Report where a man is shown reading a digital newspaper that looks disposable and receives the latest news up-dates automatically. Maybe that is the future of newspapers. Who knows, but thinking about it Minority is a kick ass movie with so many cool ideas. So check it out!!

Future of Advertising

The future of media and advertising made me think of the Minority Report. A movie set in the future that has so awesome idea about what things will be like; like transportation, entertainment, and advertising. This clip shows a ad directed at one specific person made possible by an eye scan identification.

The Future of Media

I think the true future of Media is unimaginable, but I think it will become an even bigger part of our lives (if that’s possible) as time passes. Personally, I think it will probably be real annoying. For example, Advertising will probably target us in every situation possible and get really over whelming. It will be interesting to see what happens to the internet; if it stays a free open forum or become regulated somehow. We shall see.

Apocalypse Now

Francis Ford Coppola's film Apocalypse Now is one of the craziest movies I know of. It’s intense and has been parodied many times. Martin sheen does a really good job as the lead. Far for the West Wing which, I don’t know about you guys, but it bores the crap out of me.

The Departed

This is The Departed. It’s one of Martin Scorsese’s recent films. I really enjoyed it, maybe even more than Goodfellas. One thing I thought was really cool about this movie is that it’s the first movie I know of in which cell phones are an integral part of the story and the movie wouldn’t have really worked the same way without cell phones.

I thought since there aren't any guidelines here, i would continue to do some posts on movies that i really like. i'll probally do another Martin Scorsese. I don't know about anybody else, but i think there were alot of good movies made in the 1970's.

Taxi Driver

This is another one of my favorite movies. Taxi Driver showed how a disturbed man is displayed as a hero in the press. Robert De Niro is really intense in this movie. Not to mention NYC during this time.
