"Paul Kedrosky: "I'm particularly fond of SmashingTelly given how it, in effect, Tivo-ifies the web"... Guy Dickinson: "David Galbraith has turned Smashing Telly into well, the new TV."... Fimoculous: "Best Blogs of 2007"... The Guardian: Video sharing on the net has uncovered a hoard of TV gems...and a number of sites have been established to lead us to them. Take smashingtelly.com."
about
"Smashing Telly is a hand edited collection of the best free, instantly available TV on the web. Not 30 second clips (now with added clips, good ones) of a dog on a skateboard, or the millionth person to mime the Numa song, but classic clips and full length programs, with a focus on documentaries and non fiction. Smashing Television, not Gimmick Television.
Each entry is like a postcard, a short piece of text which describes a moving picture."

Fantastic! It’s an interesting counterpoint to the Disney films of that epoch. I wonder if any of these guys are still making films…

This was interesting. I can see how a lot of the misconceptions of socialism and the theories of Marx came about, especially in America. Some of the memes in the films are good, and even accurate, while others are gross exaggerations, false dichotomies and hyperbole. US propaganda is no better.

Very interesting. Watching this you can really see how much America is a lot like the world back then. you can see pretty much all TV shows and movies are the left and right views of America battling each other with propaganda.
p.s. props to Mookie for knowing what memes are lol. I agree
