Maquina Photo Good. (link seen at k10k, yes.) Maquina 2003
The ability to download large files, thanks to DSL and Kazaa, has caused alot of wasted time hunting down obscure video clips and the like here at Rise. This has allowed my (re)discovery of the brilliance of Duran Duran’s 80’s music video’s, especially the ones scripted to be short films set to music ala Union of the Snake, Rio, and the bizarre View to a Kill – featuring creative editing of James Bond footage (the song was the movie’s opening track) with the glam boys cut in. Check out descriptions here: Duran Duran And don’t miss the extended version of Girls on Film if you can find it on Kazaa. Read about that one here: Girls

Amy (Robinson) and I just got back from the Anti War march/rally in Hollywood. What an enormous and amazing event! I am overwhelmed by the fact that this has occurred all over the world today. Even if the Bush administration doesn’t listen, we attempted to make our opinions heard, and that is an important effort.
Will post photos soon.
