This is something I always wanted to touch upon but never had the chance, so apologizes well ahead.

Since my childhood and intial exposure to media, I have soaked up hours up on hours of music, documentary, comedy, romance, action, adventure and every genre in between.

And every year, I go back to those clips and shows and videos that really resonated with me when I was younger by chance and accident and occasionaly staying up in to the wee hours nostalgia trips.

And every year as I change and get older and live more of life do I see the changing effects of how I interpret those videos, naturally there is a deeper understanding and appreciation. This happened when I watched Shindler's List when it was released and again in the early 21st century. It works on so many more levels. And this of course occurs with many videos.

But some, they just pull me back into the years I lived them, suddenly they take me back to those years, experiencing them seeing them the sounds and sensations of a decade long gone return. This always happens when I watch Enigma videos.

I think I like this most with films, I watched so many when I was younger and as I get older revisiting old classics is incredible. When I was younger, I got very traumatized after watching I.T. based on Stephen King's book of the same name. I was litreally mental about clowns for several years, I would hate seeing them, and worse would to actually meet one at some misguided attempt at a birthyday party gig. I was horrified, my brother used this alot to mentally damage me further, he knew that I hated the fact that I.T. clown would just come from various bathroom orifices, so everytime I took a shit, my brother would turn the bathroom lights off while I was inside. Bastard.

Then, finally after years of self-therapy I got brave and watched it again in 2003, a friend declined to join me because his level of mental damage far exceeded my own. He once punched a friend because we snuck up on him in the middle of the night wearing clown masks. I watched it and I totally laughed. I could not believe the effect of the now poor poor special effects on my young mind. Terrible.

I think it's really cool, and it's my firm belief that media companies should understand this and start placing content online. I envision media companies putting up the media, then various new YouTubeesque services popping up, offering filtered channels like VideoSift that provide you with like a 24/7 Best of Programming or self selected programming, where you would pick what areas interest you and the media is presented to you. This would all be intergrated with a digital entertiament home system hooked up to the internet with TiVo like abilities and a large storage bank.

It will be interesting to see how companies will deal with all this content they have sitting idle now. I can imagine alot of shows are in syndication abroad, but how can the companies make full use of their various IPs to make a profit now?
