Turner To Launch Movie Channel In Jan

Some people are calling it the scariest, most terrifying picture ever made. It has not violence, it has no gore, it doesn't have a single special effect. Yet, within les than two weeks of release The Blair Witch Project has become a cult film. Made by directors Eduardo Sanchez and Daniel Myrick on a minuscule budget, the movie is built around an extraordinary conceit: "On October 21, 1994, Heather Donahue, Joshua Leonard and Michael Williams hiked into the Black Hills Forest to shoot a documentary film on a local legend called The Blair Witch and were never seen again. One year later, their footage was found." The film is constructed as a documentary from this 16mm and video stock. With the use of off-camera noises and some truly imaginative direction, Myrick and Daniel have managed to create a kind of claustrophobic nightmare. Perhaps what they say is true-the scariest thing is facing up to the horro inside you. Anyway, log on to www.blair-witch.com for the fll fake backstory. The opening page is one of those gif files (158K) that phases from one screen to the next, so it will take a while to load. But it's been meticulously put together, so by the time the film makes it here you will be sufficiently knowledgeable enough about the "legen" to be truly, mortally scared. meta name="description" content="The idea is not exactly novel. But full makrs to www.imacfloppy.com for doing something that even the tech non-savvy can easily use. Its futuristic make-up dictates that the iMac comes without a built-in floppy drive. So how do you transfer files? Well, there's e-mail, or FRP. But IMacfloppy scores over both for sheer ease of use. Plus there's no problem about formatting complex Mac files, the site boasts "MacBinary on the fly". The whole process of signing up and saving that first file took less than five minutes. (Downloading takes much less time than uploading). The beauty of this is of course that you don't really need to be an iMac user, anybody who needs to transfer files from one location to the other will find the 3MB space (all free) on offer extremely useful. The only problem is that for optimum utility, you will require Netscape 4.04+ or Internet Explorer, 4.0+. While Netscape 3.0+ will work with reduced features, IE3 won't function at all. But since everybody in India seems to hae Netscape 3.0+ this isn't really a problem.">
