Media Mandible It's a very exciting time to be working in online media (advertising, publishing, and the like), and this is my blog about it. I'm writing it partly to help myself get my next job, partly as a sort of instruction manual for the subordinates I left behind at my last one, partly to to keep my head in the game, and partly as an outlet for openly saying the sorts of things that I didn't feel comfortable saying when I was accountable to someone else.

Trailers Undone Pithy analyses of all the latest movie trailers, cast in terms of archetypes, subgenres, and marketing strategies. I do this without actually watching the movies in question (that would be cheating). The more cinema-savvy readers will be able to consistently identify the rationale behind the use of the corresponding images, which are never from the movies being discussed.

mefi universe search engine I created several custom google co-op search engines, each with matching search extensions. One of them searches the entire mefi universe, including metachat, monkeyfilter, 9622, and the sites of mefi users who volunteer (or are volunteered by others). Tabs let you refine search by the blue, green, etc., and once user sites are added, the results will be weighed so the results will be: main site, fan sites, user sites (or whatever is most popular). This is similar to mathowie's recent offering, but covers more ground (if it's the sort of ground you want covered). Also, a search engine for finding screenplays, an engine for searching all CondeNast sites, and a link to my recently-started blog, where I mostly ruminate on TV and movies.
