- Green…ish? – "On the serious side however. Film sets can sometimes be ecological nightmares. Trucks idling all day long. Half filled plastic water bottles are strewn everywhere. And tons of materials wasted and then discarded … We are more than willing to help out. I believe it was Carmen Diaz who bought a shitload of travel mugs for a production so that people wouldn't waste so many coffee cups.The production I'm on currently gave little out little flasks and then banned plastic water bottles from craft service."

- YouTube – David Lynch on Product Placement – Always refreshing when someone doesn't pull any punches…
- Indie Screenings – Going to see The Age of Stupid tonight at Warwick University in one of the many national screenings of it happening this evening as part of the launch of Indie Screenings' distribution model.
What these guys are doing is really exciting and whilst it's as simple as people signing up to host a screening and being sent a DVD, if they can make enough of a fuss about it, the idea might just get across to the audience that there is an alternative to the whole studio/cinema chain model.
