Jack in the Box, Hill and the Bill!

Ok, I’m not sure what that headline means, I just made it up and it sounded good! Well, this is all about Jack Nicholson’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton. This viral has being flying around Youtube fro the last few days and naturally it gets parodied (2nd clip) and questioned (3rd clip). Has Jack been a bad boy?! You can decide…

This all reminds me of that other Hilary in Hollywood story (well scandal really) as documented on here on Hillcap and all around the web.

Did I say that?

In the style of Will I Am’s Yes We Can tune backing Obama,
comes a remake closer to home from Morgan C. Jones and friends at The 1989 Show. It was time for Bertie to get some treatment…

I was sitting in a recording studio one day wondering…”if they can get a song out of a relatively inexperienced newcomer like Obama…imagine what I could do if I used the honey words of the greatest statesman of them all, Bertie Ahern?” Imagine no more.

U 'Steal This Film' 2

pb

I’ve just finished watching the second installment of ‘Steal This Film‘. Put this on top of the first part and it is a damn good look at the ‘culture of copying’ which has existed (as a form of communication) since the dawn of time. I met with one of the makers behind this worthy project at Picnic Network last year and was very impressed with the idea behind the film. It does the necessary job of putting into motion pictures the issues surrounding copyright which are being written about so much these days by forward thinking scholars. The first part focuses largely on the debate surrounded piracy online and in particular the story of The Pirate Bay. This recently released second part takes a closer look at the history of ‘copying’ with good sections on the printing press (which was accused of being black magic on it’s dawning!) and on the rise of the internet from it’s inception as a reaction to Sputnik.

Anyway I won’t ruin the film, that would be worse than stealing it…so go ahead and download it!
