years back when i was regularly breaking into classrooms to meet women i stumbled into a film class – and the teacher asked “who thinks cheap digital cinema is a good thing?”
all raised their hands except me – so i diagrammed a future video store stocked with bad digital movies … bad in the sense that they werent movies but just montages of video clips with no noteworthy story to tie it all together – and after years of this subjection audiences would be convinced that this is cinema – and everything else before it was fascist undemocratic filth
after playing nostradamus for too long i took heat from the preacher for being closed minded etc. – for denying the value of an innately good thing – and i ducked out of this class – unlaid – though there was always womens studies across the hall
now we have theatrical films like project x – a youtube party film that should be two minutes long and will give millions of boners to fifteen year old boys everywhere
the same people who applauded the influx of cheap digital cinema are now up in arms about how crass it is and how much money it will make
of course – their problem isnt with the technology itself – or the ideology of “innate goodness” that starts in the cathedral of the classroom – but the fact that the technology gets into the wrong hands and people are stupid enough to watch it
how to fix this?
“more education” they say
this is the story of the 20th century ladies and gentlemen
