Ok~~ James Dunn and I had a little adventure! As we approached Sala Diaz, we were greeted by a pair of pitbulls. No one was inside and the door was locked so we had to inconvenience the neighbor a little. But we did end up watching the videos! They were very interesting and humorous lol. I appreciate that they were chronological and given the time they were filmed, the effects, like when he stops and replaces the image, were impressive. I really enjoyed the Black Tower video. It was so creepy and funny at the same time. It really held my attention I think, more than the others. It was about a man who is paranoid because this black tower is appearing all around London. He hides in his house avoiding the tower and ends up practically starving himself to the point of medical intervention. He then leaves to the countryside where the tower also follows and he ends up entering the tower. He then is dead and a female narrator takes over, noticing the tower after visiting the character's grave. So creepy!! The Slow Glass was very philosophical and I liked the metaphor of the glass being liquid and moving slowly, just as things around us change slowing with time. I thought it was a little too slow for me and I think that was the point. The Girl Chewing Gum reminded me of when I was a kid and we would mute the sound of our favorite children's movies, and make up the dialog and story. The World Association was very interesting and I found that I focused more when the word and the pictures came up together. It was very clever, like when "perfect" would come up, a cat would appear because it "purrs". Haha! It was very fun! I did enjoy John Smith's films. :>
