Quentin Tarantino is a great film critic and seeing this documentary showed
me just how much research he did on Goebbels the film producer for
Inglourious Basterds.  Those interested in film history during WWII will
also be interested.  It raises a lot of issues about the uses of film:

My brother pointed me to today's NY Times magazine article about Joanna
Newsom, because the first couple of paragraphs are about Lark Camp, where
he's been teaching for years (and where he was unimpressed with her
performance there several years ago, but he's a strict folk purist):

With Jimmy Cliff's introduction into the HOF next week, I got to
thinking about which members of the Hall I was fortunate to interview in
my DJ daze in the 70s and 80s. Under new photos, "for the first time
anywhere on the net," check out Jimmy, Rick Nelson (1987 inductee) and
Dion (1989 inductee) with this future Iddiot. Also got to interview the
Byrds (1991 inductees) and Grace Slick (1996 inductee with the
Airplane), but alas, no photos. Outta state, man! 

 
Would a CV subscriber let us know exactly when they flip the ABC switch
tonight so subscribers can see the Oscars? I've got a bet that it'll be
+ or - 10 minutes of 8pm. They'd both be foolish to lose the advertising
bucks.

Don,
The only entity that loses advertising revenue (via make goods or under del=
ivered audience) would be WABC-7.  While WABC wants to get paid like a cabl=
e network, they do not offer local avails back to the cable operator like a=
 cable network does.

With all the nasty ads that WABC has put out there, it would be fun to see =
an ad in ADWEEK or AD AGE on Monday instructing advertisers how to apply fo=
r make good credits.

Interesting, Professor. As you know, I've been out of the biz for 12
years or so and times sure have changed. Back in those days, the
networks weren't yet able to squeeze the ops for carriage fees. Of
course, the ops had no real competition then as small dishes were still
a relatively new delivery system and FIOS wasn't even a gleam. So they
didn't have to budge. So as of 2010, educate us. Do you know what really
happens in those contracts? Does CV pay carriage fees to Disney as they
claim, or not as Disney claims. Gimme some truth. All I want is the
truth.
If CV doesn't get a slice of local avails, do they get a piece of the
national spots from Disney?
Anyway, I see on NY1 that CV just agreed to arbitration, so you CV subs
may be seeing Oscar tonight.

With those ads, I can see a possible tortuous interference with a 
business relationship case being filed by Cablevision.
