I wrote this post for TechCrunch. Would love to discuss with anyone interested, particularly as it relates to Kill Hollywood...

I'm most curious about the role mentors will play in nReduce. From what I understand, mentorship is the secret sauce at YC and TechStars. It also seems like the hardest type of person to attract to a fledgling operation (compared to hackers

I can't believe how awesome you are for doing this. I've been following you on twitter for awhile and consider you a role model for how a new/young CEO should behave. This isn't the first time you've freely shared your knowledge, and it cer

Awesome! Can I use this in a movie? :)

True, however, I think the studios are a lot more open to technology than you realize. In my personal experience (I recently worked for the Vice President at Paramount that oversaw all VFX production for the studio), it's really up to the i

Why stop at puzzle games? Otoy is leveraging this technology to disrupt Hollywood and so can you! I'd love to build something like this that also integrated http://kevinkarsch.com/publications/sa11.html and http://www.html5rocks.com/en/t

Btw, this is exactly the same reason I don't want an advertising company like Google to be involved in making my TV, videogame console, mobile phone, etc. Ads suck. :)

I just left a comment on one of your other posts, but a new thought did occur to me: What's the difference between this and something like github?

You would probably want to avoid IP, it seems like a complex problem to tackle. Perhaps look at other websites who are doing similar things? Good luck!

This will be your outcome: each system will race to the bottom, a market leader will emerge and converge into a monopoly, this market leader will begin exploiting everyone. Nothing will change except for the names of the companies.

I love this. You are correct on all accounts. In theory, creating a movie is about telling a story with the best possible content and the best possible experience. You might laugh at the thought, but I can promise you that all filmmakers to

I guess my point is that the current (flawed) system at least allows for those big budget films to exist and be appreciated by the people who want to see them. If our goal as entrepreneurs is to delight users, then we should be considering

You are saying exactly what I just said to another reader. Replace distribution with an open standard that has an embedded financial model, then we might have something interesting. Everything else is just a different middle man.

Blu-ray's introduction happend after digital distribution, and it's already 2/3 of the size ($2 billion vs. $3 billion). The people of the world still like physical disks. Give it another decade.

Bourgeoisie? :) I worked my way up from nothing and my perspective is simply that of someone who has seen the industry from several different angles. Also, like any sane person, I believe that pirates are only frustrated consumers (I know I

Wow. Simply, wow. I was literally 90% done with my Kill Hollywood RFS application when I saw Paul's tweet about this article and it stopped me dead in my tracks. Can anyone tell me that the Kill Hollywood is about making the world better an

I just left this comment over on Fred Wilson's blog ( http://disq.us/536i4t ). I hope that the message I'm attempting to convey is meaningful to the "Kill Hollywood" crowd on HN as well... There are a lot of comments on this post, but I'm g
