note: I see the remake of The Prisoner is scheduled for November in the US and early 2010 for the UK. Sir Ian McKellen is number 2 with James Caviezel (strange choice..?) in the McGoohan role as number 6.
Ther's a curious teaser site Seek the Six. I'm not quite sure what it's supposed to do.
Delighted to report that this months winner in Neil's Think Tank monthly was none other than Jonothan MacDonald's Isabella Barwinska post, as nominated by yours truly.
It was a close run thing with David Cushman's equally excellent The User is the Destination Now a close second place.
Wouldn't mind being in the pub to hear that conversation, vote rigging accusations etc ;)
Nominations for posts from November will be open at Only Dead Fish at the start of December, if there's anything you've read recently you deem worthy of wider acclaim.
The first Think Tank (a bit of background here) post of the month, initiated by Neil at Only dead Fish is Gestures and Communication from Chroma. Congrats.
excerpt:
'Thinking about media, social media and the decline of Grand Gestures in this way, it occurred to me that as the small gestures multiply, and the Grand Gestures wane (either by sheer media fragmentation that will render it harder to achieve, or by people just ignoring Grand Gestures all together), what will the communications model look like? What, if anything, will replace the Grand Gestures?'
Thanks to Neil Perkin from the excellent Only Dead Fish for bringing this presentation by Albion to our attention. Much chatter about new agency models in the past year or so. These guys have a pretty decent stab at articulating.
