Wax, or the Discovery of Television Among the Bees

The opening from one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen, Wax, or the Discovery of Television Among the Bees.

As far as I can tell, this is a movie about a weapons manufacturer who feels haunted by the souls of the people his weapons have killed, and eventually has a schizophrenic meltdown.

This was the first video ever transmitted on the Interent in 1993 all 85 mins.

All this tired me. I slept in the dark corner, like a bee. When the underground sun rose, I could feel my destiny pressing in on me. It was time for me to find out who I was going to kill. The bees sculpted figurines out of wax; feminine forms so as to enter our world. They promised me one of these bodies. My reverie is disturbed by the sound of a telephone ringing in the cave!

where? all i see is a total sicko that other total sicko paedo-cult losers are letting post. so yt failed to do the right thing, as usual, cause they're the same mind-control child-molester scum as you are.

[randomlaughingman]

I understood them as little as the bees understood the beekeeper. That didn't discourage me. I continued to walk through the cave, a tourist in the land of the dead. Each corner a new amazement. Each soul could have a square in the land of time.

All qualities were fluid.. the products of powerful thought machines that worked here.. it was a mechanism of astonishing complexity.

The bees appeared on the TV speaking the language of Cain. They were waiting for me. They weren't directly visible to sight, but I knew they were there. I dissected the queen. She was blind. They danced backwards; these bees must have come from underground. Then I saw the bees directly. they were 30 feet tall. They sang for me. I could see that the bees lived in the darkness around this small cave.

I thought I was the only space-cadet who saw this, um, movie. Anyway, as cryptic and non-linear as it is, I still found myself understanding it's meaning. It's like a one-man Devo video without the humor. Look for this unique picture, there are copies on tape floating around out there.
