  • This is a horrid reproduction of "Mothlight". It's kind of neat as a media artifact, but it's certainly not how Brakhage's work should be seen.

  • u'r right!! I've already answered tons of complains..the horrid media artifact is youtube. but take it as an input. go and try 2 see it on a cinema screen, like a moth to a flame (this is how I've seen it first). mothlight is not just a brilliantly crafted film, but a metaphor of Vision, of Cinema

  • Me and my fat friends on minimum wage like to watch BB while drinking cider and smoking mayfairs. We don't really care about it, we just hope somebody will get naked. Then we talk about football for a while then we go for chips at the chicken shop while we worry about the constantly rising price of ikea furniture.

  • can't wait for the sequel.

  • pretense is maybe an outward manifestation of creativity in process, though sometimes an end in itself perhaps? Did you ever make a fort with blankets and chairs? Maybe whoever happened to be watching you thought of this as pretense? Maybe you were really living in that place?

  • why the fuck are media students/artists so damn pretentious?

  • interesting!, too bad its a hipster magnet nowadays

  • @MrMeddled id better be damn near the front

  • The anti-intellectual sentiment in here reminds me of the time I drank moonshine with some retarded hillbillies. Good times.

  • @MrMeddled Everything you said is exactly right, except that I'm old, fat and unhip, and that I discovered Brakhage from 16mm and 8mm prints that my friend Eric Sherman owns, not from a book. Other than that, you're right on (lack of artistic integrity and such).

  • @MrMeddled I think i love you

  • @masterxak sorry I wanted to say There is a new perspective if you tie a camera in a cat but NOT a new perception

  • @masterxak there is a new perspective if you tie a camera in a cat but a new perception
