The UK Megathread recently had a several-page derail over literature and it reminded me that there is a book out there that I've been meaning to read for quite some time. It arrived yesterday and is relevant to this thread:

I think they basically print it on demand. I got it through Amazon.

They had a facebook account for the author that was better than the book. It's probably still there.

I'm surprised you didn't bring up the fact that you, yourself, have content that was released on the web that's now lost to time. Like, most of the video is on the history of film that's been lost to the ages, but even the stuff you make yourself can be lost to time, and in fact frequently is. I think it's actually a more modern topic than a historical one, considering all the numerous ways video content can just disappear.

And also, having said that, it's not entirely a bad thing. I work in theatre. I don't particularly mind that a year's worth of time and effort going into a project meant to entertain people is just gone after it's done. It's a fact of the medium, that things cannot remain forever. Sometimes the very fact that it existed, and that people saw it and enjoyed it or took something from it, is all that matters.

So the other day, I finally watched Dena's "Goodbye Channel Awesome" video.

And then Youtube filled up my recc'd videos with a whole butt-ton of other people's "Goodbye Channel Awesome" videos.

Like, there are enough of them, posted frequently enough, that they can trigger Youtube's recc'd algorithm.

I watched a bunch, including from a whole bunch of producers I didn't even know existed (CA not promoting their members, shock shock). They all had a common theme to them, though I won't spoil it for you.

Brad, Film Brain, Sage, Nash, Linkara, Suede, and Joe. That's basically all that's left of the original CA crew, as far as I can recall. Though I think all of them at this point could survive :sever:ing from CA and make out just fine. But who honestly knows?

I kind of miss when Ralphthemoviemaker's Reel It In videos were shorter and more focused. I know he explained that editing them took a lot of time, but there has to be some in-between. We already have so many movie reviewers that are just rambling off-the cuff with little editing. His new Reel It In videos aren't bad, they just seem like a step down from his old ones.

It leads to things like The Minions review having a weird segway where he pins Fox News and Alex Jones of all people as stalwarts of political correctness and blaming them for ruining cartoons. When Minions come from France where standards for this sort of stuff are extra low. He's kind of an idiot on things outside pure film making it seems!

I thing that is just of the result of this actually being goof analyses,while SMG never really goes beyond the "Student who didn't do the work and is trying to weasel his way through the class by making poo poo up as he goes along " level
