TickleBooth: Here’s a nice little site that serves as a kind of pointer to a variety of video clips, short films, and other related internet media. The content leans more towards quality stuff, compared the typically silly fodder clips littering the internet (on YouTube, etc.) Worth looking at!

I mentioned this a few days ago, but did not realize it was an actual full-length documentary.
POPaganda: The Art & Crimes of Ron English: The modern day Robin Hood of Madison Avenue, Ron paints, perverts, infiltrates, reinvents and satirizes modern culture on canvas, in songs, and directly on hundreds of pirated billboards. Shot entirely guerilla-style, the film chronicles the evolution of an artist who offers an alternative universe where nothing is sacred, everything is subverted and there’s always room for a little good-natured fun. The original 30 minute version has recently been expended to a full-feature documentary running time 82:00 minutes.
And a nice review on FilmThreat.
The Assassination of Julius Caesar: A People’s History of Ancient Rome: Excellent, highly critical examination of ancient Rome’s political climate and the presentation of such history by “gentlemen historians” throughout the ages. The message is clear: history has been (and still is) altered and skewed in favor of the social elite (those at the top of the social, heirarchial pyramid). It’s amazing how little has changed over the past 2000+ years.
