Jem Cohen’s Little Flag (2000) is online at NYmag.com.
But today, watching Cohen’s six-minute opus is an almost unbearably disturbing experience. From the World Trade Center towers looming in the background, to the errant bits of paper drifting through the air, to the spectators’ blustery apparel (matching “Fuck Saddam” T-shirts!), to the young woman sitting forlornly on the ground, seemingly overwhelmed, to the little American flags of the title that gradually become refuse, Cohen manages to say more about the desperate times we’re living in than pretty much any other film of recent vintage, narrative, documentary, or otherwise.

Lost Remote points to Zat’s Not Funny’s pre/review of version 2 of Verizon’s FiOS interactive media guide/set-top box. Features include widgets (weather, etc…), streaming DVR content to remote boxes (an AppleTV-like setup, thought no HD, yet), an add-on option for PC media management software that allows photo and music streaming, and additional web content, all wrapped in a neatly-executed interface. Zat’s also mentions future pans for cellphone-DVR integration. Screenshots at Zat’s.
In related Verizon/video news, the company announced that they would be adding Veoh it it’s V-Cast mobile video service.
