If you were in our family, you’d know what it is like to walk down the sidewalk trapped in a video game. Usually you can’t see much of the game other than Hope The Younger bouncing and leaping. The Soundtrack can be heard in some tribal form of song, but you just can’t see the graphics. I knew they must be there though and here captured with a magic camera you can see it all.

The NY Times has an intriguing article on the owners of the copyright of “Kiss Of The Spider Woman” who have packaged the film, it’s rights, and various other support materials, and have hopes netting a windfall.
I have always wondered why more filmmakers don’t go the Matthew Barney route and focus first on selling to “collections” as opposed to audiences. The Spider Woman’s team’s approach of going at long after the initial run and sales cycle is another route altogether. As library values decline faster and faster, perhaps all that will be left in the way of hope for some pension-esque fund will be those wealthy patrons and their butterfly collections.
