Convergence Vs. Convergence.

There was a great video review in the New York Times today. A.O. Scott does a video review of the film Waitress, starring Keri Russell and directed by the late Adrienne Shelley. I read Scott pretty regularly, and typically agree with most of his reviews. However, seeing a video of his review provides a better insight into his thought process. Although it was scripted, watching him as he gave his review seemed to make the review more conversational and less static. This is Scott's print review of the film


If there is one thing that I hate in life, it is people taking photos/videos of themselves. A very close friend of mine has an entire photoalbum on facebook with nothing but pictures of himself. The idea of talking into a video camera (actually just my digital camera that happens to be equipped with video) made me feel a bit wiggy. Unfortunately my camera had a limited amount of space and so I got cut off a minute or so before I was done speaking.
