David Lynch’s 10 Clues to Unlocking Mulholland Dr.
1. Pay particular attention to the beginning of the film: at least two clues are revealed before the credits.
2. Notice appearances of the red lampshade.

Eric Rice had some interesting comments in the podcast he posted today. Among other things he talks about doing your own DVD commentaries. This is something Eric and I discussed briefly at the pre-BloggerCon dinner. I have actually downloaded and listened to a few of these over the years including their Texas Chainsaw Massacre […]
As some of you my know, I have agreed to sponsor the next few editions of the Rock and Roll Geek Show. Why you may ask? Because, Michael Butler puts on a kick ass show, one that I listen to. At the same time, I keep hearing him try to get a […]

Just a quick reminder to everyone that our Cinephile Series #2 podcast is going to be Mulholland Dr. I hope to post #2 right around December 6th, so you have roughly one more week to get in on the fun. If you don’t know about the Cinephile Series, you can listen about it here.
I don’t often go to the theater anymore, I simply wait for the DVD. However, the other day I read about a film that interested me and realized it might not make it to DVD so I went to see it. While it is an overused term, this is truly a cautionary tale of […]
How geeky is it to get excited that the BBC podcasting story showed screenshots of my XML file and website. While the average viewer would have never noticed the blur, I took some screenshots for posterity’s sake. That way I can prove my statement: “As seen on the BBC”. In fact I […]
Reel Review #11: Here is a good film from 1999. The Limey was directed by Steven Soderbergh. Watch for the inventive use of his visual style, particularly the way the film is edited. The film also has a great cast including Terence Stamp, Peter Fonda, Lesley Ann Warren, Luiz Guzman, Barry Newman and […]
I have actually created something people have deemed worthy of copying. As I stumble along trying to make the blog easy for everyone to use I realized I didn’t have a succinct explanation of how to subscribe to my podcast feed. So a few weeks ago I put together a 5 step “how […]
Adam Curry has come up with an interesting idea for listing the podcasts that he currently subscribes to. He calls it the PodSquad. It is an OPML file, but the way he is using it might best be described as a link list or blogrole on steroids. The hope, with help from […]

My podcasting compatriot Michael Butler from the Rock and Roll Geek Show has once again earned the podcasting badge of honor - an Account Suspension Notice for exceeding his bandwidth quota. I am thinking of starting a podcasting Hall of Fame where you have to submit you hosting shut down notice to be considered […]
Another mixed bag. My favorite recent British comedy, The Office - Special. A film I have heard lots of good things about, City of God. A more family oriented film, Elf - always got to give John Favreau and Will Ferrell the nod. Finally the dark horse of the bunch: I’ll […]
Reel Reviews - Cinephile Series #1
10 Comments Published November 17th, 2004 in Podcast, Reel Reviews and Cinephile Series.Reel Review #10: In our first Cinephile Series podcast we examine Memento. This is one of those films that seems to stick with people, leaving them with more questions than answers. How does someone whose memory is comprised of Polaroids and tattoos survive? What is the meaning of memory? The biggest question […]
I am supposed to be interviewed on the Emmy Award winning Real Orange Wednesday, November 17th. The show is produced by the local PBS station KOCE. It is on a topic other than podcasting. (Though I’m going to try to sell them on having me back to talk about that.) You might […]
I am just finishing up my notes on Memento. I’ve seen the film three times now, including once in chronological order. (That took some doing.) I’ll be sure to post links on how to achieve this. Hopefully I’ll have time tonight to record the Cinephile Series podcast. A lot of my listeners have written […]

Reel Review #9: Watch as Mario Van Peebles pays tribute to his father, Melvin Van Peebles, in BAADASSSS! A film version of the making of Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song. This is a great film about the making of a film. In fact, Sweetback, ushered in the Blaxploitation genre. Remember: You bled my Momma […]
Brian Alkerton, who attends Glendon College in Toronto, has submitted a recorded version of his review of the Incredibles he did for his college newspaper.

Today we discuss Dazed and Confused, the 1993 film by independant film director Richard Linklater hot off his success with Slacker. This film has a cast of young actors just about to hit, including Matthew McConaughey’s breakout […]
Picked up three rather eclectic films today. I got Ju-On, a Japanese horror film. The recently released film The Grudge with Sarah Michelle Gellar is the US remake version. I also picked up a film I saw in the theater not too long ago which was great - Zatoichi - The Blind […]

First of all a big “Thank You” goes out to Dave Winer and everyone who worked so hard to put together BloggerCon. It was quite an experience. I was focused on the opportunity to interact with other podcasters so, for me, it was PodcasterCon. I spent a good deal of time talking […]
I had a great time at BloggerCon. Tomorrow I’ll post/podcast about it. I want to post about so many great people I met, it will take me a day just to put all the links together. I’m not the superman blogger some of these guys are. One thing I will comment on […]
As you probably noticed I have a new header. It has been provided courtesy of John over at Dogmatic. John is a Co-Director of a new media & web-development company in Melbourne Austrailia. (Check out his new Texas Chainsaw Massacre theme - it rocks!) I really appreciate his generosity, without it we would be […]
