The remix is certainly my highest compliment (both given / received). Inspiration is priceless.
How to monetize the priceless? Oh. Darnit. I didn't mean to change the subject. Media literacy. Listen to directors' / writers' commentaries on those DVD's. Read criticism. Watch movies more than twice, once with the sound off just for the shots / edits. Be engaged when watching and feel what the media says to you physiologically. Just riffin' in sleepy mode.
