Gimme Some Link Love, Baby!

Hey guys,

I just have to share these fabulous links. Some days, I do feel overwhelmed by the amount of information the world puts out there. There just isn’t enough hours in the day to enjoy it all...

First, photo essays of Charlie Chaplin put together by Stephen M. Weissman, author of Chaplin: A Life.

Watch the short film Glory at Sea for free. It’s available for only six weeks. Michael Tully writes, “Glory at Sea was the only short film to make it into Hammer to Nail's Top 13 of 2008. When you watch it, you'll see why. At only twenty-five minutes, it has the sweep and gravity of a feature. It is the closest to God I have come in quite some time. Turn down the lights, turn up the volume, and enjoy...”

Mark Kermode’s Top Ten Reasons to Love Mary Poppins. (I’ll give you my personal reason – no character arc. Hehehe….)

I’ll let them say it for me: "The Britannica Blog is proud to announce that Videoart.net, the 'underground video artists network,' will be highlighting here one film each week from its outstanding collection of contemporary short videos by current filmmakers and artists."
