Inconsequential media doings of late include finishing up Zodiac for probably the fifth or sixth time (still good, and amusingly Bostony. I didn't pick it to read for that reason; it was just around, but still it taught me that the Watertown Mall used to have a bar in it. At least I assume it was the Watertown Mall; the Arsenal Mall is also possible, but much less likely due to 1.there not being a long-standing arcade in it ever and 2. it never being mentioned that the building has historical value, which I can't imagine Neal Stephenson ignoring). (I don't know what any of the polluting local companies are, except for Fotex, which is pretty obviously Polaroid.) Stephenson is just a fun writer, though. Even when he's talking about the rise of the banking system (I should finish the final book of the Baroque Cycle).
Last night we watched the second dvd of a two-dvd set of Bowie videos. Now, most of the good ones are in the first dvd (I believe; although there were a couple of really nice ones on the second, most notably the Gus Van Sant-directed 'Fame'), but, man, the changing styles were not always kind to the poor guy. There was some cruel buffeting by mullets, 90s mini-beards, and hideous turtlenecks. I would also like to warn future music video directors/editors to never ever use movie footage in a music video, even if the song is on the movie's soundtrack. It's for the good of the people.
