The Replacements Movie Color Me Obsessed Hits DVD in November The Replacements Movie Color Me Obsessed Hits DVD In November By: Corey Tate Follow me: Google+ | Twitter | LinkedIn September 20, 2012 The Replacements -- one of the most legendary acts to ever come out of Minneapolis (depending on who you ask) -- have their story hit DVD on Nov. 20 with Color Me Obsessed, a play on the Mats song "Color Me Impressed" (listen in the player below). I say depending on who you ask because if you're in the R n B camp, Prince is undoubtedly the biggest act to ever come out of Minneapolis. If you live in the producer world, its Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. If you're punk, you'll spend the rest of the day debating on whether it was the Replacements or Husker Du. And please ... add your comments below on who you think is the biggest and best ever from Minneapolis. So back to the DVD ... It was put together by Gorman Bechard, who wanted to collect every obsessive Replacements fan he could find and hear their story. "I thought, people believe in God without seeing or hearing him but rather through the passion, faith, and stories of others. After watching COLOR ME OBSESSED, I'm pretty sure music fans will believe in The Replacements in much the same way," he said. Color Me Obsessed is a two disc set with tons of extras thrown in. It includes footage of die hard Replacements fans obsessing about the band: Craig Finn of The Hold Steady, Grant Hart and Greg Norton of Husker Du, Tommy Ramone, Colin Meloy from The Decemberists), journalists like Legs McNeil, Greg Kot, Jim DeRogatis and Robert Christgau.

Love, hate, obsession, tears, vomit...it might not be the prettiest story ever told, but it certainly rocks. SYNOPSIS: For some aging music fans and kids with a passion for musical history, The Replacements are rock and roll defined. This Minneapolis quartet took a teenage-punk attitude, threw it in a blender with classic and pop rock, and then poured it into a Middle American pint glass. Over the band's 12-year existence, its live sets were magical, a total mess, or both-depending on your mood and the members' respective blood alcohol levels.

  • Documental Y Narrativa Transmedia
    TESIS DOCTORAL documental US / 2015 y narrativa transmedia Estrategias creativas y modelos de producción Doctorando > Antonio García Jiménez / Director de la tesis > Enrique José Sánchez Oliveira Departamento de Comunicación Audiovisual y Publicidad Facultad de Comunicación AGRADECIMIENTOS Mi más sincero agradecimiento a Enrique Sánchez Oliveira, mi director de tesis, por su aportación directa, dedicación y disponibilidad y, sin orden alguno, por su apoyo y ánimos: a mi familia, Cristina, Manu, Isabel, Ángel, Julio, Virginia, Lucía y Frank. RESUMEN > | RESUMEN > DOCUMENTAL Y NARRATIVA TRANSMEDIA. ESTRATEGIAS CREATIVAS Y MODELOS DE PRODUCCIÓN Esta investigación, planteada como un recorrido a través de lo inmediato en el campo de las nuevas narrativas audiovisuales, tiene como objeto el acercamiento, desde una actitud analítica, al universo relacional existente entre el documental y la narrativa transmedia en el contexto de la convergencia mediática; y desde ahí, abundar en la emergencia y prácticas de la actual producción transmedia documental y sus distintas estrategias creativas y modelos de producción empleados. A su vez, este trabajo, estudia los principales cambios operados en el seno del documental contemporáneo a partir del surgimiento y cristalización de nuevas formas y estrategias documentales, así como de las distintas retóricas que se insertan en el escenario mediático digital, siempre en constante mutación, resultado de la hibridación entre tecnología y creación. Es así como dentro de este territorio mestizo del denominado “cine de lo real” contemporáneo, nos encontramos con etiquetas de nuevas tendencias y formatos (que van desde el mockumentary al documental expandido, entre otros, hasta llegar al documental interactivo como último género consolidado) y con toda una batería de procedimientos formales y estrategias retóricas que articulan una onda expansiva de asombrosa libertad creativa para conformar nuevas estéticas, capaces de reconfigurar dispositivos documentales de representación y enunciación tan diversos como sugerentes.
