The subject of the video below grabbed my interest and curiosity from where I saw it first on engadget.
But as I watched it, I was mesmerized first by its elegance. Not being a film critic, the simplicity of its form (no music, no spoken words beyond the ambient), the detailed closeups impressed me. But more [...]

I have not even seen a glimpse of MTV for at least 10 or 15 years. I am so old I can remember when the “M” stood for “Music”:

I can remember the riveting teen age moment when MTV first launched- it was radical, different, spoke to me– and it felt at the time like a [...]
