this interests me. in fact, if i had my druthers, heartpunch would share an ethos with this man.

unfortunately, you can’t embed flash video files. or “<embed>” files. or something. or i can’t. so, instead of it being cool and bloggy, i am going to have to give you a link.

i do think it is worth watching. all parts.

Calvin Johnson talks with Ian Svenonius: Part One

The Third Thing.

“Montage–juxtaposing images by editing–is unique to film (and now video). During the 1920s, the pioneering Russian film directors and theorists Sergei Eisenstein and Dziga Vertov demonstrated the technical, aesthetic, and ideological potentials of montage.  aesthetics of contemporary video.”

“Eisenstein believed that film montage could create ideas or have an impact beyond the individual images. Two or more images edited together create a “tertium quid” (third thing) that makes the whole greater than the sum of its individual parts.”

ROCK!

Thing about me is, I used to be a huge Metallica fan.  “The Black Album”, “Master of Puppets”, “S&M”, and even some of “Load.”

But life changes, and your tastes change, and you start to enjoy the more subtle things in the arts. No longer does “kicking ass and being totally f**king metal” stand as the only pre-requisite for enjoyment.

But it’s easy to move on when the band in question hasn’t made a decent song in sixteen years.

Until today! Metallica’s new album, “Death Magnetic,” is the result of what I imagine to be Phil Spector holding a gun to Metallica’s head, backing them into a time machine set for 1989, and telling them to “get the f**k in.”

I’m posting this because I’m happy to see another childhood dream come true.  Seing Freddy Krueger fight Jason Vorhees was my first.

Enjoy the song, and the AMAZING video. Do note: You could put it on mute, and insert a song of your choice. It works!

If you watch this all the way through to the very last moment, your heart will beat faster, and you will actually feel something today.

This is my new drug. For today.

 

By the way – everyone I know who saw this today, put it on their blog.

Yeah, there is sometimes talk of musical theatre but even those posts can be pretty entertaining/odd. All I’m saying is I know who I’m inviting for my heartpunch debut. New York Times? Rubbish. I’ll be pulling an all nighter a Sardi’s for my Rocco review.

KILLDOZER MAY REFER TO…

KILLDOZER!

In the story, an ancient being composed of pure energy, leftover from a war involving sentient machines in a long-lost civilization, “possesses” a bulldozer being used by an eight-man construction crew on a small island. The being’s purpose was to take over the enemy’s machines and attack them. When released from the ancient stone temple that contained it, it believes that the bulldozer (called “Daisy Etta” by the workers in the island, a mispronunciation of De-Siete (D7, in Spanish) is key to its intentions, possesses it, and it begins killing the workers.

KILLDOZER

Martin Heemeyer was an American welder and owner of an automobile muffler repair shop.
