lovehatethings

I know I'm a couple months behind on this, but it is very cool. I figured there were enough faithful lovehatethings followers that had not seen this. If you're a Star Wars fan, it's probably the best three minutes you'll spend today. If not, you should probably pretend you're watching something by Fritz Lang and be all pretentious-like.

The only thing I'd change in the entire thing is replacing the final "dialogue" frame with "CURSES!" instead of the existing choice. Nonetheless fun a-plenty!

Short and creepy (in a good way) Norwegian horror film that melds elements of one's worst fears on a service like Chatroulette (minus genitalia). I'm almost at the point where I think film festivals should have a crowdsourced night where everyone picks their favourite 10 minute or shorter film to screen and no one knows what the content will be beforehand. In building up these continued testaments to independent, and sometimes individual, filmmakers, there is a seeming middle finger popped to Hollywood.

Congrats to the creators of this work. Films can be like songs: enjoyed over a short time and repeatedly.

If you are a fan of Gerald Scarfe's animation work in The Wall by Pink Floyd, you'll probably find The Music Scene very appealing. Certainly not the same level of drama to the soundtrack as one would find with Floyd, but a stirring visual metaphor that leads you on a five minute journey of an omnipresent medium pushing it's will on the world before collapsing under its own intent.

Very cool visuals that would be enhanced by any hallucinogenics you may wish to consume... perhaps, however, the medium is quite the hallucinogenic in itself.

A very fine take on politics, ambition, and power. Reminds me of a Churchill quote: “Their insatiable lust for power is only equaled by their incurable impotence in exercising it.” An enjoyable three minutes of your day, made better by some public domain classical music.
