Franco, that's beautiful. I am 100% positive that you know that I am the opposite of a trouble maker.

Anyway, I've spent today listening to Frank Zappa. I don't much like Frank Zappa. But somehow I needed to wade in the muck that is his oeuvre. You know, songs about Palmdale.

Oh no worries Franco. No moral lines I'm trying to make. Just deeply disturbed by any images of animals in distress or being abused here. So that Polanski was a major no-no.

@Little Danny -- no prob -- just that i find if humans were subsituted, the general public would be horrified
@chresti -- yeah, from what i recall, the donkey was already dead, but still -- even before i went all vegan "crazy animal rights extremist" (hah!), dragging his dead body around like that was still so horrifying to me

I will refer to My Last Sigh by Luis Bunuel to get the low down on the dead donkey in the piano at the fancy party, and report back next week.

Dean:

Thanks, Dano59. My thing is not that I don't get some movies. It's that I truly don't get the point of cinema, of pointing a camera at something and then rearranging the takes to create some sort of rhythm or effect. Movies take from out there, where for example poems spring from in here.

I have a small scholarly book on "Animals in Film" (Jonathan Burt) that might help with some of this.

Tried an animal assist:
Removed a mouse from a garage last week. Think it was in unexpectedly-roused stupor. Just sat shivering where I placed him on a snowpile. So I took him back to a leaf-pile and kitchen compost zone, poked a hole and set him by the hole. Was gone later, but don't know if he realized his option, that he could've gone down in there for nesting environment, some food, and some heat generated by decomposy bits.

But Dean to me, movies (and momics) are almost pure art forms, able to create their own rules to tell a story or convey an experience, real or not.
Avatar 📉 Swag For Life Member 11:32pm

Well, I think Polansky was inspired by Bunuel. Sorry for bringing up dead animals.

Franco Twinkie:

Dean, do you feel the same way about constructing a false narrative if it's called literature?
Avatar 11:33pm
slugluv1313:

@Dean -- FASCINATING! i mean, i DO consider film/cinema an "art form" -- so i am interested in other points of view -- for me, it seems like many films -- the ideas/visions that generate them -- DO come from within (if that makes any sense)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:34pm
Dano59:

For David Lynch, so much inspiration comes from within - his fascination with the subconscious. Plus it seems he was heavily inspired by Fellini (speaking of animals)

Dean:

Lots of practices can create their own rules. That doesn't distinguish art from anything. "Convey an experience": that's an issue for me. I'm not sure good art "conveys" much of anything other than its material fact. (When I read poems, I see the ink on the page.)

To me, literature, Franco, can be false, true, neither. As above, I don't care about the truth of the relayed information. (This is one negative reason I enjoy Mailer's novel Harlot's Ghost.)

slugluv1313, yes, ideas for film come from within, but the material by definition is from out there. Filmmakers take pictures of what's out there. (Let's set aside animation or computer-generated images for the time being. I in fact love Frank Film.) They select from the universe of stuff at which they can point a camera. That isn't what a poet or novelist or even painter does.

Before poetry can mean anything, it must be read, even if only by its author. Whether or not it "conveys" anything is secondary.

Dean, that's why lots of minimalism attempts to convey a purely esthetic reaction. No confusion about intention when you're looking at a block of polished metal. And if less evolved folks can't grasp the nuance of intent there, fuck um.

Dean:

Rothko and Donald Judd piss off a whole buncha people, for sure, Franco. Whether or not one enjoys (appreciates, whatever) their work is independent of what the nose-in-the-air pricks who know better deem the appropriate response. I would suggest that minimalists like these guys precisely do not want to "convey" anything. That is, in fact, much of the point!

Goddammit, I sure would love, just once, to have a "purely esthetic reaction."
