Not Content
October 27, 2006

Sitting at Digital Hollywood this week, I started to wonder when my job got so boring. I mean, I write about movies and TV shows on DVD and the Internet. Not boring. But listening to people talk about content - short-form content, long-form content, content, content, content - I just started to tune out. Who wants to watch content? Who's going to ask their friends what content is on TV tonight? I get that people are using content as a general-use term for all video. And everybody's using it these days. "Content is king," I keep hearing. But seriously, isn't there another word that doesn't totally take all the excitement and fun and glamour out of entertainment?
