Sundance Adds 3 New Films Including a Feature-Length Acid Trip

The Sundance Film Festival has announced three late additions to its lineup, and they all sound pretty exciting, especially Alex Gibney and Alison Ellwood’s documentary Magic Trip . Apparently in the 60’s, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest Author Ken Kesey and friends took an LSD -fueled road trip to the New York World’s Fair and filmed the entire thing. Ellwood and Gibney have assembled this footage, along with photos and audio recordings into, I presume, something coherent. It could be hilarious, enlightening or really stupid, but I personally can’t wait to find out which. The rest of the announcement includes new work from Miranda July ( Me and You and Everyone we Know ) and Ashley Judd. Read on for the full synopses.

Former Bush campaign manager Ken Mehlman finally comes out – Republican Party – Salon.com

Former head of the Republican National Committee and Bush '04 campaign manager Ken Mehlman has finally come out as a gay man. Mehlman broke the “news” to The Atlantic's Mark Ambinder. Everyone in politics basically suspected/”knew” this for years, but Mehlman says he only came to grips with it personally this year. “Mehlman's leadership positions in the GOP came at a time when the party was stepping up its anti-gay activities,” Ambinder writes, and boy howdy. But Mehlman has decided to become an open advocate for gay marriage, and the moderation of the GOP on gay issues. He participated in a fundraiser for the American Foundation for Equal Rights — a group supporting the legal challenge to Proposition 8 in California — last September, and he “has become a de facto strategist for the group,” attracting major Republican donors. “It's taken me 43 years to get comfortable with this part of my life,” Mehlman tells Ambinder. Plus he recently moved: Mehlman said that his formal coming-out process began earlier this year. Over the past several weeks, he has notified former colleagues, including former President Bush. Once he realized that the news would probably leak, he assembled a team of former advisers to help him figure out the best way to harness the publicity generated by the disclosure for the cause of marriage rights. He is worried that some will see his decision to go public as opportunistic. Mehlman recently moved to Chelsea, a gay mecca in New York City. Hm. Well, welcome to being on the right side of one issue, Ken. (And this marks another one that Mike Rogers was right about.) added by: toyotabedzrock

Could self-aware cities be the first forms of artificial intelligence?

The cities of the future will be huge and super-dense — but will they also be alive? Could the increasingly complex systems needed to manage the next generation of megacities become our first true artificial intelligence? People have speculated before about the idea that the Internet might become self-aware and turn into the first “real” A.I., but could it be more likely to happen to cities, in which humans actually live and work and navigate, generating an even more chaotic system? http://io9.com/5619183/could-self+aware-cities-be-the-first-forms-of-artificial-… added by: unimatrix0
