...audience was used to watching. After all, videos of this length are not entirely foreign; most YouTube clips are little more than one minute in length, and many movie previews endeavor to capture the entire sense of a film in less than a minute. Most films centered on an object or a short series of images. People, when featured, were usually treated as additional objects. Very few of the films featured dialogue, although those that did were memorable. One example popular with the audience was Matthew Thompson’s “Jell-O,” in which...
...knew I just had to put them in my book. And they became so important that the title of my second novel actually became “The Celestial Globe.” I tend to be magpie-ish.

In its better days, says Levy, the left stood against evil and injustice and all the worst aspects...
...love to take the liberal media on, given the chance." But Dahlia Lithwick counters that this argument diminishes Palin just as much. "Why do we keep talking about women as though they lack any agency? Are we really going to condemn the McCain campaign for treating her as an object, with demands that they "free" her? I understand why smart women in the media are enraged with Palin's refusal to engage them. It's appalling. But I don't think it's good for women to direct that rage at her male keepers, handlers, or advisers, either...
