My God, here we go again.

This was literally a David Bowie song, so I can’t wait for conspiracy nuts to claim it was a false flag years in the making and Bowie was in on it or something.

How does the song relate to what happened? Sorry I didn’t pick it up if it was obvious.

It’s about a school shooter. If you watch the video, you can see Bowie mimeing as though he has a gun.

And today’s Valentine’s day.

Info Wanted: A question about public domain works...
Time

Thanks for your response, Wook. I have davextreme’s “Mild Mannered Edition” Fleischer Superman shorts, which he used various DVD sources on in a manner that I assume is legal, but Criterion is a step above your average PD DVD label, so I wondered if they had copyrighted their transfer in some way. I assume they own their supplemental features, so those can’t be uploaded anywhere legally, but the movie itself I didn’t know anout. I’ll be interested to see if anyone tries it in the not too distant future.

Is it legal to put someone else’s restoration of a PD film online? For example, Criterion just released an HD restoration of Night of the Living Dead. Since the movie itself is public domain, would it be legal for someone to rip the video from the Blu-Ray and upload it to archive.org or something?

I have no plans to actually do this, I’m just curious.

There’s a Criterion collection flash sale on now and I don’t know what to buy. My twitter poll leans toward Barry Lyndon at the moment, but I’m not sure when I’ll have time to watch it if I get it so maybe I should get a shorter film.

Depends, have you seen those films yet?

Nope.

They’re all great. Seventh Seal is the best. Rashomon is probably the most essential and rewatchable. Barry Lyndon is absolutely terrific too.

Noted. Well, I think I still have about 14-15 hours to decide.

Also, follow me on twitter those of you who don’t already.
