Mark Knopfler talks about his soon to be released CD, Kill To Get Crimson.

Do you reckon it would be possible to use someone else's live webcam to capture images and film your own movie? What if we picked my hometown, Greensboro, North Carolina for instance? We could start with Center City Park in downtown Greensboro then move north to St. Pius X School before asking the Elliott Family to allow us to use their lawn. It would be nice to see Dennis again.

We could film the kidnapping of Little Elvis in nearby Mebane and film the hostage exchange during the bedroom scene?

I guess News 2 doesn't want us using their cameras. Cheap %$#@!

We could do the obligatory car chase using our vast network of state owned traffic cameras and traffic cameras belonging to High Point and Greensboro.

And perhaps the movie would end with an explosion that blows the nipple off the top of nearby Titty Mountain which can be seen from several of downtown Greensboro's tallest buildings. Wow, talk about action!

Perhaps some of our readers have webcams of their own we could borrow?

Who wants to film a steamy action-adventure show in North Carolina and do it on the cheap?

A nod to the Carolina Cam Network.

Machine Project puts on the oddest shows in LA. If you're in town, try to catch this one.

The incredible artwork of British-born artist Matthew Richie. I ran across him in his collaboration with novelist (metanovelist?) Ben Marcus on the book "The Father Costume."

Behold a stunning world, made mostly of water, where clothing changes people's behavior and time itself can be worn and discarded like cloth. Witness a father who takes his two boys out to sea, in flight from some menace at home, thus launching their adventures in a strange and dangerous territory. Artist Matthew Ritchie's striking images blend scientific diagramming with vivid, colorful renderings of the apocalypse, while writer Ben Marcus's cold prose plumbs the inner workings of two boys caught out at sea with a father whose costumes grow increasingly menacing. In this collaborative work, Ritchie's and Marcus's shared obsessions of mythology, physics, and ancient texts have produced a conjunction of text and image in which people themselves are merely costumes for the darker needs that drive them.

Go here to see more of Richie's work and to Amazon or Powell's to pick up the highly reccomended book.
