I didn't realize that Cook was actually referencing Lev Manovich and I guess I was just struck by the fact that you then went on to quote the same Manovich article (in fact the exact <I>same passage</I>) that Cook and I were quoting. <BR/><BR/>Eerie, but cool. :)Damian Arlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07937513879456460221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580771530471531574.post-79731613112372552102007-05-06T09:02:00.000-04:002007-05-06T09:02:00.000-04:00Damian, I thought you were referring to your initi...Damian, I thought you were referring to your initial reply a few weeks ago. I only recently saw that you found that book and quote. So the most recent one did not affect the content of my draft, but our discussions regarding your first reply definitely did. <BR/><BR/>I think Cook's approach is fairly in-line with Manovich. But for me paper, I'm actually focusing more on digital video. Nevertheless, this talk of digital is all very important in film studies. It prompts a question of identity regarding the medium of cinema itself, and it does not pose easy solutions. What is cinema and its properties? We find out that this is amazingly difficult to answer.Ted Pigeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04789041055263853568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580771530471531574.post-45782915089791088732007-05-06T02:07:00.000-04:002007-05-06T02:07:00.000-04:00Some before, and some after.
