This is not the only gem to be found on MeansTV (the worker cooperative network started a couple years ago) but it can be the one to get people hooked. You want to say it's ahead of its time... but that doesn't quite fit. It certainly has the retro feel due to its aesthetic but the truth is it's living in the now. Just as Socialism is the natural successor to Capitalism. MeansTV is the natural successor to corporate media and Seize the Memes is its manifesto!

Highly Highly recommend!! In fact, it's required viewing.

I've now seen Exotica and The Adjuster by Atom Egoyan and in my opinion he is a failed filmmaker. Both are handsome films and The Adjuster in particular is "strange" but both films fall flat. In Exotica the only interesting moment in the film is the pet store owners cruising and eventual seduction of/by the customs officer. In The Adjuster the only reason to watch the film is to witness the incredible performance by Maury Chaykin. He seems to be the only character who feels anything and I doubt it is something intentional by the Director. I think it says more about Maury Chaykin and his ability to convey the written word into a highly complex set of emotions. (I want to see more of Maury) Maybe my opinion of Atom Egoyan will change if I ever see any of his other films, but from this small sample I can attest that he is merely a hack.
