Flickr and a POLL: worst movie you've ever seen?

DateMonday, September 13, 2004 at 11:23AM



Craig's Toronto Filmfest schedule this week.


So up to yesterday, the worst movie I've ever seen was One on One ("There comes a time when love stops being a ball and starts being a woman"), starring Robby Benson. Yesterday, however, Real Life took the prize for me. Holy toledo. Craig and I would have walked out, except the film so bad it was entertaining. Read Craig's review here.

POLL: What was the worst movie YOU'VE ever seen?

---

I recently started using Flickr, which Cory Doctorow refers to in his blog as "Ludicorp's amazing, witty, easy photo-sharing/community service". Cory's on Ludicorp's advisory board. However, I first heard about this free service from Liam O'Donnell (the children's author I met on Orkut), who also recomended the service.

I like Flickr's respect of user privacy. Quote from Cory's blog:

"Also noteworthy, flickr's best-of-breed terms-of-service and a privacy control-panel (reg required) that lets your friends assert your friendship without exposing your presence on the system to their friends." You can choose to hide your real name, e-mail address, even your photos, from anyone else; on Flickr, you can make photos completely private: viewable only to yourself, or to invited individuals.

Anyway, I've started posting some of my favourite photos on my photo page. Some will be public, some semi-private (viewable only to those on my Friends list).

Flickr is also handy for those wanting to share photos about a particular event or theme. You can do this either by adding certain keywords (Cory added "worldcon", for example), or forming a group. I've started up a Filking photo-sharing group, for sharing of pics and URLS of filk convention photos. Photos and discussions are not viewable by non-members; however, anyone can join. I figure this will help keep the membership open, but also keep the photo-viewing limited only to those interested in filking.




Craig, working on a column.
