Timing, wtf, go fuck yourself.
I was there the day that shit happened pointing out ODB as king of stage-us interrutpus.

Fuck you and your sense of timing gramma.

Agreed on your addition to my last point.

Agreed -- we, the masses, are the ones that will have to push new media forward. Twitter, youtube, blogs, for the most part, with the exceptions that you've provided above, are run by those that would typically be the audience. Its an essentially interactive media. And there is clearly more to be said about entertainment value in the internet than in profitting from the entertainment that is being produced for it.
My point was that the those who provided the funding and production in old media are suddenly in the minority when it comes to new media, nd they try to follow old business models which is the wrong way to go about it. They still have the production values, and creativity to make something as brilliant as Wainy Days, but that's the minority of internet content. You have to fish through many more hours of banal blogs, videos, etc., (like your Freds for instance) that have little to no value to find a videogum, a Between the Shrubs or Wainy Days. SInce there are so many avenues for uploading content, and so many creators, its an inevitability.
In the origins of old media, there were 3 stations, with 3-4 hours of primetime programming to fill. Sure it wasn't as sophisticated or specialized as what we have today, but there wasn't as much content to sift through to find something that you enjoyed.

By now, Television had figured out how to be profitable (paying for cable wasn't around yet, but sponsorships and ads were). Its still not clear how profitable new media can be. Check out the most recent DGA, WGA, and SAG agreements to see how vague that all still is.

Ads don't work like they used to in Old Media, prices for adspace are dropping across the board with the proliferation of digital recording technology, and cable/sattelite providers with hundreds of viewing options. Ads are not going to be the best way to make money off of new media, and a box office or subscription-like business model are both pretty much out of the question, so while the internet is still a baby, it won't ever have the same business or creative process that old media had. The two are nearly incomparable in terms of maturation and growth, as access to production is not limited in the way it has been since old media's inception.
But those that could help the maturation and growth of new media can't look at it in any other way than their traditional models, so new media continues to suffer a sort of arrested development.

There were two complaints I had about this movie and since the first one has to do with how I feel, sometimes, about david eggers, I'll leave it out. The fact that max doesn't return home to a bowl of soup waiting for me really changed things for me. I know it sounds pretty dumb, but the book was about there being a place for you, no matter what, but this movie, because it had to be extended and because it was a movie, played more to growing into a more mature being. He had to learn to see it from the other sides before he could go back, and although i loved it, and i cried at the end, all of me wanted that soup bowl to be in his room, waiting, even if it didn't make total sense. I know, he ate like, five seconds after coming home, but the message change kinda sticks with me.
but, sadly, as an adult (ish) I wanted to howl with max on the way home too. I would have if I didn't have a sense of shame attached to being loud in public.

I dunno if it's the ugliest...the yellow was part of the stylization and I think it helped make the red camera look better, actually, especially when you compare it to the two scenes that are shot in normal kind of light, where everything's much too sharp and strange, and the editing, I dunno, I didn't see anything wrong with it. I really like this movie, and I don't mind his sense of humor, style and timing. But then again, I'd pick schizopolis over traffic any day, so maybe our tastes are not compatible.
