I think it’s called “Sweet ep motion”. Has the feel of an MGM musical. Marvelously unexpected. “Crazy evocative”? On Youtube.

I think there’s some semi-sophisticated special effects also. But falls apart on second viewing. Also remindful of the witch-hunt, set in Maine mockumentary (title escapes me) that grabbed some attention a few years ago. The first-person, on the run, jerky, shot with cell phone look loses its luster quickly. No? But I’ve never seen a video game. Understand stunning, graphic imaginary worlds are being created.

I’m less interested in the content than in the feel. Call it “high-end homemade” if you will.

Will you?

The “Raiders” stuff is an education. But heck, that “book deal” doesn’t seem right does it? Too easy. What do you all of you make of the video? Kind of in the spirit of that release late last year where the city is under assault by the alien (or something like that, title escapes me)–all the POV stuff. Still, undeniable, tension line, enigmatic and surprising, has it’s own logic. Speaking of logic, just picked up a book of stories by Donald Barthelme yesterday. Intricate, fascinating, bewildering and new to me. Any Barthelme fans out there to provide insight?
