Maru seems perfectly content to accept the idea that he can walk at least a mile into this paperbag (that appears to be much larger on the inside than outside) then exit the bag only to find out that he hasn’t left kansas at all, and is only on his couch.

bring us a shrubbery!

berthaservant: Well argued — I do concede many of your points. Especially “Ni.”

He’d make a great research assistant.

Bathos: I think this is kind of anti-Brakhage, really. I think there’s a bit too much “present” present for Brakhage, too involved with memory and (visual) perspective and not as much a meta-critique of cinematic form. There’s even a kind of mini-(non)-narrative. I’m reminded of some scenes in works by Jon Jost, although the low-grade aesthetic also kind of harkens to some of the work of Bruce Baillie (though this is not as impressionistic, obviously).

Or, to put it another way.

NI!

Brenda- Why not?

My two guys in daycare were constantly doing things that kept them from being bored. Killer’s bigger big brother waited until all of the children where in their cribs asleep and he, being outside his crib because he didn’t sleep, carefully pulled the socks off each of the five sleeping two-year olds. Nobody woke up, either! And I’m laughing my head off hearing about this and their teacher said “Truly smart children are never bored.” So, Mommies of young children and self-entertaining cats, you have very smart little critters on your hands!
