Maybe a meme



After an elephantine gestation period the YouTube killer has its name, hulu. Strange, my first thought was that 'hulu users' could be termed 'hu-loosers'.

Okay. The meme? Somewhere on the web yesterday or the day before there were mentions of the Kuleshov Effect, something of interest I had thought only to very dedicated film students for whom Eisenstein and Pudovkin are also bosom pals. At this time Google returns 993 hits for the term, but I suspect that this will now explode.

Anyway today I find several posts on this topic and one delightfully un-pompous explanation of what it's all about, embedded below. May YouTubers and hu-loosers watch and learn!
