It sounds like a film score to me -- at first I was thinking 2001 Space Odyssey, but it's not.... something like Fifth Element? John Williams?

perhaps you're thinking of mine:

but this one is different.

So I'm wondering how the Ewoks beat down the Empire then....

Nice little chat but the desire to slap numbers on things ignores complexity ("type one culture" anyone?). I'm pretty sure there are many places on earth where Hollywood stars would go unrecognised.

Interesting tip about the film 2001: A Space Odyssey at the end.

The title of this video is a parody of the line from 2001 a space odyssey. "My God, it's full of stars!"

@MINK:
"These arguments, mostly between men, are the internet equivalent of the intro to 2001: A Space Odyssey."

"And it's always us guys waving our cocks at each other, strangely the girls don't seem to take part so much..."

Excuse me???? I think I also speak for Swampgirl and Mlx here when I say that the women of the sift have just as much invested in this site as the men... we may not do any 'cock waving' as you call it, but we are just as involved dammit.

Anyway: I agree with silvercord 100% on this statement:
"Fedquip's Collective is in a different class than anyone else here on the Sift. He has drawing power no one else can muster. He's reached the top 15 in a matter of weeks. And you know what? That isn't his fault. He was given that position here on the Sift. It's obviously created a tremendous resentment. In a nutshell, TayTV and VS were a merger. Because of the nature of that relationship the TayTV Collective needs to be in a class by itself. No "Top 15." No "Top User" list. No "Rating."

I think we all need to recognize that Fed is not a regular user and should be treated as such if he stays on. Personally, I like swampgirl's proposal and would urge you all to have a looksee:

and behold, the web 2.0 dream continues to be exposed as an empty idealistic circular argument between well meaning geeks with too much time on their hands.

I like videosift because there's less rubbish than youtube. I find it much easier to sit on videosift and entertain myself for an hour than I do on any other video site.

But get a hold of yourselves, you're just hotlinking to other people's stuff, you're not curing cancer or something.

These arguments, mostly between men, are the internet equivalent of the intro to 2001: A Space Odyssey.

All the free thinking progressive futuristic mashup projects I have ever seen end up with a Soviet. At the end of the process, we see that basically some people own and run this site, and some people do not. The owners try to be democratic but basically only want their own version of democracy to prevail (the one where people vote for the owners' preference).

This is not a criticism of the intentions of the owners, which are undoubtedly noble. This is Animal Farm. This is what happens when some people have power and some do not. This is showing how the internet does not solve the problem of politics and powergames. This is the failure of collective voting and the hive mind.

I was an original fan of TayTV because I liked Fedquip's bias, and I liked getting to know him and seeing what he had to say. I liked his benevolent dictatorship. I forgave his self promotion because TayTV was HIS and self promotion was HIS prerogative (nay raison d'etre)

But then fedquip swallowed the Web 2.0 pill and opened things up, and he took jobs from big companies, and he joined the sift, and his original goal of self promotion was suddenly a conflict of interests problem which he clearly didn't recognise.

You people need to realise that no "community" will ever be what you want it to be. If you want the web edited properly, edit it yourself.

It happened to me before with this <ahref="http://www.videosift.com/video/Space-Odyssey-Voyage-to-the-Planets--2">space odyssey sift.

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) is a science fiction novel by Arthur C. Clarke which was developed concurrently with Stanley Kubrick's film version. The story is based in part on various short stories by Clarke, most notably "The Sentinel" (1951). Kubrick collaborated with Clarke, and together they first concurrently produced the novel version that was released after the film.

The HAL 9000 computer symbolizes the progress of technology. It represents many apprehensions about technology. First, HAL is an artificial intelligence – it can mimic all of the thought processes of the human brain with greater speed and reliability. Second, its inner workings are not completely understood – even by the people who created it. HAL is an extraordinarily potent technology that cannot be fully controlled. When HAL begins to deviate from the way in which it has been programmed, this is an illustration of the apprehension many people held that our own technological development will someday come back to haunt us in surprising and unanticipated ways.

Obviously one of my favorite movies.

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do
I'm half crazy all for the love of you
It won't be a stylish marriage
I can't afford a carriage
But you'll look sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle built for two
