Mall City

Take a flashback trip to the mall.  Amazing to see how many kids were just ripping buts in there. 

"The original gonzo style documentary. A song inspires a documentary. The crew travels to Long Island's Roosevelt Field Mall and captures an amazing study of mall culture circa 1983. A time capsule of fashion, attitude and youth. The video climaxes with the song that inspired the journey, recored live by the original Rawtones at the infamous Hargrovia house in Monsey, NY. Background music under Creative Commons and Fair Use. ©1983"

The Future

Tough to tell if he's stoked about this or apologetic about it.  If apologetic, then what is he going to do to change this scenario.

Yes, yes, yes!!!  Contains some harsh (NSFW) language and ideas.

91 Centimeters

This is a short animated film that I watched this morning.  At first my thoughts about what the movie meant ran towards whether or not the individual is the center of his or her own universe; that is, did the meteorite knock the man, Henry, out of his world by 91 centimeters or did it knock the world 91 centimeters away from him.  Of course, when I contemplated the role of the psychologist/psychiatrist in the overall narrative, I began to see the movie as a parable for some sort of sudden onset mental illness that Henry is dealing with all alone; thus the relative or I guess absolute indifference of everyone around him.

What do you think?
