On a lighter note

Ear of corn shorts kicked ass. And im not saying that to kiss your ass andre because you were the vana white of the program but it did. I did really know what i was getting into i knew they were more experimental shorts, and i recognized Provost from class with gravity but over all i just wanted to go to a good block with alot of variety and thats exactly what i got, plus a Q and A is a very small intimate venue to boot. fucking perfect. bear with me because im bad with names and titles but ill try to go in order. The first film i thought was really interesting. One because i have been messing around with this exact sort of thing... sine rob stole Andre's drawing pad for me to work on taints mouth. Thanks by the way.. anyway i thought it was awesome. a simple parred down idea. Very specific but interesting at the same time. It was just overhead shot from a plane or like google maps and animations of line cutting up the land into what i assumed were developing communities or building or parking lots of whatever the fuck our country feels like putting up. It gave me and very specific feel that i get when im in a plane flying back to new jersey of back here to north carolina. I always get a window seat since i was a child. I traveled a lot with my family when we were all together. Fiji New zealand mexico bahamas puerto rico yearly and all over the states. i was fucking spoiled i know it, but anyway i was always the kid with my face glued to the window ...while my brother was this kid with his head in the vomit bag... but as i got older i would do the same but think about it alot more. New Jersey is one of the most densely populated states in the US. It was interesting to see the progression Ive flown out of Newark or Philly or atlantic city airports sooooo many times and usually go west or south into the rural areas. It was really interesting how the filmmakers sort of simulatd the way corporations of housing developers just cut up land like a puzzle with little regard to what is already there. I really liked the sound scape and the progression of the images with the beats of the song. It was a cool approach.
So the next one that caught my eye was the japanese animated short.. mi mi mi or ayi ayi ayi or yo yo yo shannon just told me it and now i forget. It cover such a huge amount of material in like a minute or two. Im soo impressed with that kind of rapid fire approach. They used the idea of a cartoon child like sing along to address fairly serious issues. and it was fucking a hilarious satirical short. Im a sucker for dancing dicks. I really want to watch it again soo i can quote some of the lines but i think i was laughing to hard to remember any of them..... to be continued
