Update: Sight & Sound's "The DVDs of 2010": "24 critics and curators choose their releases — and rediscoveries — of the year."

There is a booklet, Segundo de Chomón: Más allá del cine de las atracciones 1902-1912, written by Joan M Minguet, author of the main work on de Chomón, Segundo Chomón. El cinema de la fascinació (2009). There are subtitles available in Catalan, Spanish and English.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which covers California and eight other Western states, just made what might be the scariest ruling of the year. You know who else thinks so? The dissenting judge, a conservative, no less, who himself made the connection to Orwell's 1984. This is bad, bad news, and the sooner it gets overturned the safer we should all feel.
The story dates back to 2007, when the Drug Enforcement Administration began monitoring one Juan Pineda-Moreno, an Oregonian whom the DEA suspected of maintaining a marijuana grow operation. DEA agents, in the words of Time magazine, "snuck onto his property in the middle of the night" and planted a Gps tracking device on the underside of his Jeep, which was parked in his driveway at the time.
Pineda-Moreno challenged this action in court, and reasonably so--the DEA agents invaded a citizen's private property without a warrant of any kind.
