This is timely. I watched a Disney movie with my wife last night, Glory Road. It was good for what it was: based on a true story about 1965 black basketball players overcoming all odds, etc. Kat likes those kinds of movies. I liked it, and yet, I felt it was hollow in places. It was like pastry. I felt good afterwards, but only for the sugar high.
Dr. Julian Bleecker, high on my list of people I hope to meet before I die, has a great photo posted up here, by “Perry and Andreas” on the topic of new forms of cinema. Look at it. Study it. At a time when personal film development is so inexpensive it’s silly (Paul M- I sent your DVD, Megin- yours this morning), I think there’s a great list there to consider as being the future of Cinema (Graeme, chime in):
- Interactive Narrative- Is this like “choose your own adventure?” Remember “Clue?”
- Computational Cinema- Huh?
- Critical Theory- okay
- Designing Culture- Wow.. as in, “Watch this and then emulate?”
There’s more. Check out the list yourself at Julian’s site. What do you think? Will you be shooting the additional parts to upcoming films? There’s already a burgeoning subgenre of podcasting where the Director’s comments are shunned for a bunch of buddies watching the film and commenting. (I’ve already asked Michael if he wants to do this to Batman Begins over Skype, or he asked me, I forget).
