Does anybody else know of any cool PSP magazines?  I was thinking about starting one but then I thought about the amount of work I would have to put in and I wimped out.

Caters for different Audiences.

Video game players and makers have fought vigorously to have their work taken seriously by the mainstream media and the academic community as a form of art and social commentary.

Always makes me laugh, Video Games are not and never will be a form of art

No I am not wrong, an interactive medium cannot be art as it allows interpretation different from that of it's creators original purpose. Art is a tool for portraying emotion, belief or views and if the medium can be manipulated by an individual to show something completely contrasting to it's creators intentions then it cannot be called art. Just cos it looks pretty don't mean it's art

Battleship Potemkin is a good example of how cinema "matured" into a more narrative form by the 1920s.

I was talking about earlier burlesque cinema which was meant to entertain a largely working-class and "uncultured" audience (not the traditional audience for so-called "high" art:

"For the first two decades of film history, there were few true movie theaters. Films were shown as part of other entertainments: at fairgrounds, public parks, museums, burlesque halls, and vaudeville theaters. So they had to compete with more traditional amusements. This constant competition produced a particular "aesthetics of display," according to Hansen, "of showmanship, defined by the goal of assaulting viewers with sensational, supernatural, scientific, sentimental, or otherwise stimulating sights."

One popular 1895 film that featured a train coming straight out at the audience was such a shocker that viewers were rumored to have panicked. Another, Thomas Edison's Electrocuting an Elephant, simply documented an elephant being led onto an electrified plate and strapped in place. After a minute, smoke rises from its feet and it topples. "The moment of technologically advanced death," notes Gunning, "is neither explained nor dramatized."
