Jean-Luc Godard's WEEKEND, 1967, returning to theaters in a new 35mm print

 October 17, 2011

Above, the original, rarely-seen French release trailer for Jean-Luc Godard's WEEKEND, which is now touring again in a new 35mm print via Janus Films. That opening shot with the slow pan accross the traffic jam is so amazing. Everything about this trailer, and the film itself, is amazing. I can't wait to see it in a theater for the first time! Here are some of the early cities and dates. Go!

Comic about the complexity and decline of copyright

 October 16, 2011


Sam sez, "Copyright laws are supposed to spur innovation by protecting creators' rights. But after 400 years of legal wrangling, and the complexities of new technology, the law has become muddied. Instead, it's now being used to protect powerful corporations and maintain monopolies. This new Appropriart! shows the story of copyright law's decline."
