Douglas Coupland's JPod In Greatly Reduced, Video Form.
(Posted In Comedy Cult Drama Film News Trailer Alert USA and Canada )
Canadian author Douglas Coupland had his first ever film script put to celluloid late last year - my review of Everything's Gone Green here - and now the first ever adaptation of one of his previously written works has appeared online. Produced as part of the Bookshorts series a short film version of JPod - his most recent and also his longest novel - has just appeared online.
Streaming media is a bit of a nightmare for me right now but those of you whose internet service providers actually, you know, provide service can find the film here.

"... also his longest novel ..."
Does that include the 40 pages he wastes printing the first 100,000 digits of pi? How about the 20+ ones he wastes on those idiotic contests the jpodders have?

As Lewis is not so subtly hinting at...Jpod is easily Coupland's worst novel.

but didin't printing those 100,000 digits of pi proved something? that douglas coupland, canadian writer and artist, who's not at all fluent in mathmatics, could produce, or have the equipment to seek out and reproduce, all those digits of pi so easily. isn't that saying something about the information age? wasn't that, you know, the point?
