It was only a matter of time before Fox News got involved in the issue of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 , and we have confirmation that they will tackle the game tomorrow morning during the Fox & Friends show. The ECA, which operates GamePolitics, received an email from a Pilar Ortiz at Fox News around 11 a.m. EST today asking to speak to an "expert gamer" about the controversies surrounding...
Oh man, I just read this article on Michael Moore’s new film, Capitalism: A Love Story, and it contained a doozy of a closing revelation. From Eye Weekly: Capitalism: A Love Story Directed by Michael Moore. PG. 126 min. Opens Oct 2. BY Jason Anderson September 30, 2009 21:09 . . . Yes, [...]
Today’s most interesting TV article (via McGrath) is Jason Anderson’s piece on the state of Canadian television drama. The article looks at the question of whether Flashpoint and other U.S.-style (and U.S.-funded) co-productions are our future, or just a writers’-strike-inspired fluke, but it also goes into the history of Anglo-Canadian TV drama shows, broadcasting, and, most [...]...
It’s the time of the summer for warm nights, where the air hugs close to your skin. One of my absolute favorite tracks on my summer mix is the combustible “July 4, 2004″ from musician Jason Anderson. My introduction to this urgently wonderful artist came via this one song, dropped in my lap by a [...]
The problem with discussing a new Harry Potter film—such as the just-released Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince —is that there’s no way to win. If you’re in favour of the series, you’re an adult in arrested development reading poorly written nonsense for kids. If you think it’s poorly written nonsense for kids, you’re a heartless curmudgeon who can’t...
Good morning! On today's edition of the Breakfast Club , I'm returning to the Lakeview in Toronto, this time to meet Ian Worang and Kieran Grant of the Two Koreas for what is sure to be an excellent breakfast! The Two Koreas are a great post-punk band who might be too smart for their own good; Kieran, Stuart Berman , and Jason Anderson are all in senior writer positions at Eye Weekly in Toronto and...
What an incredible week for cinema it is if you've got a genuine interest in the representation of women in film. It's the kind of week you could write an entire research paper on. First of all we've got Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen , which uses Michael Bay's ever-so-male gaze to stare at Megan Fox with the same kind of lust with which it stares at the vehicles the Transformers turn into—an...
Avail Media has signed on an additional 25 former SES Americom IP Prime customers, bringing the total to 34. West Kentucky Telephone is among the former IP Prime customers that have signed an agreement with Avail Media's video services solution since SES Americom announced that it would stop offering the IP Prime service. The installation of the Avail video service is in progress. With the addition...
Weirdest news of the week? That Lars Von Trier's much-talked-about-at-Cannes horror film Antichrist is receiving a video-game adaptation . How utterly bizarre. Admittedly we're opening with that bit of news because it's a bit of a boring week for film otherwise. In fact, while going through the reviews of what's on, we found ourselves more captivated by the details that weren't really that related...
Perhaps it’s not handsome, but there’s a weird sort of gratification when you read an article or review that agrees with something you’re already thinking. Such as Jason Anderson’s review in Eye of Away We Go , where he notes that “Even the least discerning and most pliant indie hipsters may have cringed at the poster for Away We Go . That cutesy, post- Juno graphic-design...
While Greg Dobbs was taking a third strike right down the pike against the most irritating, obnoxious, and even more irritatingly, best, closer in baseball, righty Jason Anderson celebrated his 30th birthday by nailing down a save of his own for the Reading Phillies. In doing so, he preserved the win for Kyle Drabek, his [...]
This year's blockbuster season seems to have dragged on interminably already, but it's finally starting to look (tee hee) up, with the long awaited release of Pixar's latest, Up , today. Their first in 3D, we've wondered if they've chosen such a vertically-minded project because the form of 3D projection used tends to look better when things are moving up and down rather than horizontally; not that...
Canon Blogger features a handy tutorial titled, Shooting Tethered with Canon Gear, where Jason Anderson explains how to use the EOS Utility when your Canon is connected to the computer. This is a particularly handy technique when working in the studio where you want to control the camera and see the results directly on your Mac or PC. Follow me on Twitter -...
