CHOICE PLOTS
Aspiring auteurs with short-term patience levels
should log on to It's Your Movie (www.itsyourmovie.com), where
they can watch weekly short episodes of Running Time (overseen by Simon Beaufoy, who penned The Full Monty), then vote on what the
protagonist should do. Won't viewers get bored once they know the
ending? Site producer Simon Rose says that after 100 years of
making movies the same way, it's time for a change: ''Maybe you
don't need to have a beginning, middle, and an end.'' As long as
you've got a domain name and some venture capital.
HOLE LOTTA TUNES
Not only is Hole's Courtney Love the girl with
the most cake, her band has the most digital music on an
official site (www.holemusic.com). With Love accusing labels of
hoarding artists' money, the rockers are posting MP3 tracks,
among them a live duet Love sang with late mate Kurt Cobain and
covers of ''Whole Lotta Love'' and ''Dear Prudence.'' Hey, who's
gonna turn down free Love?
