  1. @artsdigitalera And a lottery is not a "tax", it's discretionary spending in the hope of $$$ payout. Pretty far from a tax. IMHO. 12:14 AM Nov 23rd from web in reply to artsdigitalera
  2. @artsdigitalera If you left digital arts funding to the "market" you'd be a subsidy of SONY not Ozco. The market does not=user choice. IMHO. 12:12 AM Nov 23rd from web in reply to artsdigitalera
  3. @commuter_dirge $250million + for a movie of commentaries on the nature of civilisation - or massive light show with space battles? 5:36 PM Nov 22nd from web in reply to commuter_dirge
  4. @commuter_dirge And this! http://www.guardian.co.uk/b... 5:23 PM Nov 22nd from web in reply to commuter_dirge

  6. @commuter_dirge It'll be Stargate all over again. 4:13 PM Nov 22nd from web in reply to commuter_dirge
  7. @commuter_dirge And Emmerich wouldn't be one to be chained to a "novel" for his script! 4:04 PM Nov 22nd from web in reply to commuter_dirge
  8. @commuter_dirge A giant ship hoving into view w Evererst and sun in b-ground but a mere prelude to Mule armada set against galactic core! 4:02 PM Nov 22nd from web in reply to commuter_dirge
  9. Twitter is not a proper venue for debates. 140 characters more suited to quips, links, haiku. 4:00 PM Nov 22nd from web
  10. @artsdigitalera Yes, let's free Govt of the need/desire/duty to fund the arts. Why shouldn't they just let the market decide? #irony 3:58 PM Nov 22nd from web in reply to artsdigitalera
  11. @commuter_dirge The operatics of spatial relationships - sea on land, land in sea, etc terror sublime: 2012 is an 18th century "space opera" 3:55 PM Nov 22nd from web in reply to commuter_dirge
  12. @commuter_dirge Perfect mix of director & material. He's already directing space opera on the grandest scale. 1:22 PM Nov 22nd from Tweetie in reply to commuter_dirge
  13. @artsdigitalera Such as? 1:20 PM Nov 22nd from Tweetie in reply to artsdigitalera
  14. Roland Emmerich's next film sched'd to be Asimov's 'Foundation'. Holy cow. 12:02 AM Nov 22nd from Tweetie
  15. Just saw 2012 Well, the world ends, but a lot happens first. Crazy, mad & oddly emotional altho' overwrought. The end of the end one hopes. 11:44 PM Nov 21st from Tweetie
  16. @unsungsongs Also "good causes" needn't be restricted to arts: money could go to Indig health etc. 4:33 PM Nov 20th from Tweetie in reply to unsungsongs
  17. @unsungsongs in UK 50% goes to prize money, 28% to good causes, rest divided btwn govt, operators etc. 4:30 PM Nov 20th from Tweetie in reply to unsungsongs
  18. @unsungsongs Look into the setup of the UK lottery and the arrangement for it's monies to "good causes" rather than revenue for Govt. 4:29 PM Nov 20th from Tweetie in reply to unsungsongs
  19. @unsungsongs A national lottery wouldn't preclude state versions anyore than State taxes preclude Fed taxes. 4:27 PM Nov 20th from Tweetie in reply to unsungsongs
  20. @unsungsongs What do you mean "can't be done"? What legislation prevents it? Couldn't it be changed? 3:24 PM Nov 20th from Tweetie in reply to unsungsongs
