Media News I Found On Twitter

Bob Dylan Song Featured in Ad for Google Instant
Given that he previously appeared in a Victoria’s Secret ad, I guess we can’t get too upset. How having search capability that is even faster than an every-few-seconds basis is a big improvement is a bit beyond me, however.
An E-Mail Interview with Questionable Content’s Jeph Jacques
Jeph, as you may recall, is the web comic artist featured in Chapter 1 of Mass Communication: Living in a Media World. The interview came from a high school student who admired Jeph’s work. Worth a read. As is Questionable Content!
Ryan Reynolds Discusses Buried
Actor Ryan Reynolds discusses his role in the upcoming indie thriller Buried. Unlike so many cliched indie flix, Buried is a true original. Reynold’s is the only character seen in the film, and his entire performance is from within a wooden coffin that is supposedly buried in the Iraqi desert. I can’t wait to see this one.
And Speaking of Movies… Success Stories Aren’t Always Obvious
If you only looked at the reports from the first week or two, you might have assumed (as I did) that the quirky action film Kick-Ass was a complete failure at the box office. That would be wrong. Kick-Ass cost $15 million to make and sold $100 million in tickets worldwide. That strikes me as a pretty big success. (Though Box Office Mojo gives it a budget of $30 million.)
