New Video?

[amazonida]

I just read filmmaker Margaret Brown directed/is directing Cat Power' new video "Living Proof".

True or false?

(where I found) (http://www.mcnblogs.com/mcindie/archives/2006/01/korine_cinema_c.html)

well, if you read closer in the article, it says that Harmony Korine actually directed it, not Margaret Brown; brown is producing.

can't wait to see it! should be pretty interesting with Korine behind it.

Hopefully Love & Communication will be made into a video eventually.. love that song!

"The racy video for Power's song 'Living Proof' is directed by the intractably avant Korine"

Racy? Hmmm. Has anyone seen it yet?

[Patrick]

It's "Living Proof."

Not racy, but amazing, and directed by Harmony Korine. Look him up on the IMDB. It will debut on Sunday.

And MTV2 in the UK i take it. The Video for He War was pretty amusing. I look forward to this one.

I know I messed it up. Tried to delete the post and correct, but I failed doing that. Anywho, the link was correct, and that's what matters. :)

Really wanna see that. Really.

cultural expropriation!
cool!

my first impulse is to just be mildly disgusted, but after a while my feelings are a bit more mixed.

i have faith in chan marshall's benign intentions, but absolutely no such trust in harmony korine.

"It's a somewhat abstract interpretation of our cultural and political climate, and is meant to be open to interpretation. The racial, social and religious imagery was chose for the weight they carry, but not to meant to suggest anything specific."

there is, afterall, a term for that bandying about loaded images without holding oneself accountable to their potential interpretations: "crypto-racist bullshit," and this video is seriously toeing that line.

now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go watch that sarah silverman movie for the seventeenth time, and then I'm going to go a hip hop club where the DJ and patrons are all white. it'll be tight, we can wheel about, turn about, and fucking jump jim crow. maybe i'll call up bianca casady.

eh. maybe i'll warm up to it, but i'm not sure that i want to.
