Voting, resourcing, Elliott Smith and the sad legacy of THERE WILL BE BLOOD.
Anne Thompson sorts out truth from rumor in the fallout of the Paramount Vantage absorption. Notable: Vantage’s Nick Meyer will still be able to produce and acquire films, “It won’t be the originally planned 12 movies a year. It will be more like six, and they will be more likely to be commercially accessible, less arty films.”
The Museum of the Moving Image has launched a long in-the-works website called Moving Image Source, featuring criticism, promotion of international events, and access to and information about some of the museum’s resources. I’m currently reading this piece by B. Kite on Jean-Luc Godard.
“I forgot, until someone reminded me this morning (and I can’t remember which blog, sorry), that yesterday was the anniversary of Congress approving the 19th Amendment,” blogs Jette Kernion. And what better way to celebrate than with a little “Sister Suffragette”?
At the Indiepix blog, Danielle points to the above clip, which I really should have seen before but haven’t. It’s Called Lucky Three, and it’s a short film by Jem Cohen, starring Elliott Smith.

“There Will Be Blood lost tons of money.”
That quote is labeled under FALSE over at Anne Thompson’s blog.
Karsten, you’re right–I read it wrong. Sorry about that.
