Experimental Film and Video Finds its way into the Oscars! (Kind of)
Skipped the Oscars tonight to go out and watch Pan’s Labyrinth, which was definitely not a 98.. but then again my go-to genres are documentaries and comedies, not horror and fantasy.
I did see the new IPhone commercial that ran for the first time during the Oscars:
which is quoting heavily from Chrisitan Marclay’s “Telephones” (1995) :
(clip of Telephones is at minute 3:40)
Which is kind of quoting Matthias Mueller’s “Home Stories” (1991):
Which is probably quoting something else too..
[…] The commercial was based on piece Marclay did in 1995 called Telephones. Apple approached him for re-use rights, he wasn’t interested, so they simply made their own version of it. Homage? Rip-off? It was widely discussed in the blogosphere. […]
I underestimated how entertaining Maino is. Not that it’s a high level of entertainment but he’s tolberable compared to some of the other new names that have popped up.
