divisadero embedded a preview to possibly the greatest videogame-based movie of all time.

Remember Liquid Television? sanspoof linked to something that reminds me heavily of the best parts from that show. As far as LTV goes, one short that always stuck with me was "The Running Man" (part 1/part 2); the haunting music in the final minute remained imperfectly in my memory, so that when i first heard Michael Hedges's "Spare Change", i thought it was the music they used in the cartoon (it isn't). Although there isn't a performance of "Spare Change" on YouTube, there is a huge amount of Michael Hedges content there, and, well, thank god for YouTube, because now i've seen Michael Hedges play. Unless you know tronpublic, you've probably never seen anyone play guitar the way Hedges plays "Silent Anticipations".
