Joaquin Phoenix's Rapper Mockumentary

Stories are circulating the internet that Joaquin Phoenix's "Rapper" persona was for a Mockumentary.

Those who've seen the thing are obviously sworn to secrecy, but you know how the business works. We'll get a leak on what the film entails soon enough. Though at first one site will "learn" and reveal wrong info and then another site will divulge different information gained from their own anonymous sources. Then, whichever distributor has acquired the film will deny everything. Meaning we could hypothetically still be completely unsure of anything until this hits theaters and everyone is talking about it.

TV Business Headed in Same Direction as Newspaper

The latest article by Business Insider has analysts predicting that within the next couple of years TV will slowly become less relevant as video and TV content becomes easily accessible online. TV companies don't think this is a problem. Much like the newspaper industry denyied that free news content online would affect their bottom line.


Specifically, TV business models for the past half-century, from broadcast to cable to satellite, have been built on the following foundation:

* Not much else to do at home that's as simple and fun as TV
* No way to get video content other than via TV
* No options other than TV for advertisers who want to tell video stories
* No options other than cable--and, more recently, satellite--to get TV
* Tight choke-points in each market through which all video content has to flow (cable company, airwaves), which creates enormous value for the owners of those gates.

And now, slowly but surely, look what's happening:

* Other simple and fun options emerging at home: Internet, video games, Facebook, IM, DVDs
* New ways to get TV content other than traditional TV companies: Hulu, YouTube, iTunes, Netflix
* Video-story options for advertisers beginning to emerge: Hulu shows, for example (But NBC, et al, making a lot less per viewer now than they do on TV)
* More options for getting video content: telcos, cable cos, wireless cos (soon)
* Fewer choke points in each market: With an Internet connection
anywhere in the world, you will soon be able to get to almost anything. And not just to your computer--to your television.

This is possibly good news for film makers who should be taking advantage of the shifting interest to content delivered online.
