(for Dave)
It is a recent phenomenon that my best ideas come to me as visions, and as irrational as the process may sound, it is amazingly cool! :) This morning on the subway (for reasons unknown) I was thinking about the Fassbinder film, "Gods of the Plague" and the nonchalantly eternal declaration, "Life is expensive."
(Actually, now I realize that Fassbinder makes perfect sense for the L train . . . )

I almost never discuss narrative cinema here, but today is different! In terms of the young American narrative cinema, I have a simple vision to share as a cinephile:
A chick punches a hole in the egg shell!
A specific example would be the young, brilliant, beautiful, degenerate art star, Ryan Trecartin, who in his video, "I-Be Area," mentions the following:
"Look, I think I just saw a highly advanced, 3-D text message of my future self giving me the middle finger."
(Youthful consciousness - devastating, sublime, imaginative . . .)

Real or unreal, the best films and videos are the ones that haven't been made yet!
