[last lines] Himself - Pope:
By the way, "The Bride Of Frankenstein" is the greatest movie ever made. It's just fabulous... Isn't it? more
You know when you let your mind drift--especially when under the influence
of drugs or alcohol--and you think up some idea that sounds like it would be
great? A typical non-genius would consider an idea like that later and
think, "well, this sounded like a good idea then but it's just stupid now?"
Thankfully, Warhol said to himself, "no, I'm a genius and therefore that was
a good idea."
And what was this brilliant idea?
Film a bunch of drug users and couples in various rooms of a hotel then
project two films at a time side-by-side, shifting the audio to switch
focus.
Doesn't that sound amazingly fresh and cool?
Don't answer yet! You also get:
- randomly twitchy camera work
- quasi-purposeful film speed changes
- having the camera's point-of-interest fail to follow the viewer's
desires
- racking the zoom
- sluggish response to bad focus after changing camera
positions
- over- and under-exposure
Now how much would you pay?
With your average film you'd get three or four reels, but with this, you get
_12 reels!_ Plus, you get sketchy instructions on when to do transitions
and change projectors, putting _you in the driver seat!_
