Moore Pulls a Radiohead; New Movie To Be Distributed Online for FreeSeptember 5th, 2008 at 5:30 amSource:Mashable! Our friend Duncan Riley (you know, the Inquisitr guy) has received a limited edition Google Chrome comic book. Being the altruistic fellow that he is, he decided to put it up on an eBay auction and give the proceeds to charity. You can check out the auction here, current bid is $127.50 (that’s Aussie dollars), and it ships to North America, Europe, or Australia/ New Zealand. —Related Articles at Mashable! - The Social Networking Blog:Google Chrome: The “GBrowser” Comes to LifeMySpace Launches Comic Books CommunityGoogle Gadgets, Gmail Trademark, Newsgator, Songrio, SpotDJ, Comic Relief, Habbo, Crackberry.com, MySpace Oscar, Google Maps TrafficComics Sketch is a Glorified Graffiti ToolBitstrips Custom Comics Launching at SXSWComeeko - Comic Strips for MySpaceWhat’s Your Best Dilbert Punch Line?
Election time is coming in the US, and suddenly your votes are more important than your money. At least that’s how Michael Moore sees it, whose new movie, titled “Slacker Uprising”, will premiere on the net for free, on September 23, followed by a DVD which will be released through Amazon.com and Netflix on October 7. Blip.TV will host the download; hopefully, they’ve upgraded their servers, because the demand is going to be huge. Moore doesn’t hide his intentions. “This is being done entirely as a gift to my fans,” he said. “The only return any of us are hoping for is the largest turnout of young voters ever at the polls in November. I think Slacker Uprising will inspire million (sic) to get off the couch and give voting a chance.” The movie is basically a document of Moore’s tour through 62 US cities swing states during the 2004 U.S. presidential election; obviously, it didn’t work out as well as Moore intended it, so now he’s hoping he can recycle it for another go. It’s not a bad idea, though; his earlier movies, while being amongst the highest grossing documentaries ever, also sparked an immense interest on social media sites such as Digg and Reddit. This one will be no exception, as it’s aimed directly at twenty somethings who usually spend their time doing, well, not that much. Check out the trailer below.
