I don't know about these >others-- could you give me a line on each? > *Blow-Job* > *Marilyn Times Five* Warhol (1964) and Conner (1985) direct. Wonderful when used together. *BJ* doesn't exist on VHS, unfortunately, and the only place that rents it on 16mm is MoMa (for $75). *BJ* prefectly illustrates the frustrated expectation of its title -- I have hordes of jocks who show up for the screening and they leave after 15 minutes, in pain and disbelief. A line on *BJ?* It denies the visual pleasure of a reverse shot....35 minutes of a single shot where "nothing" happens. As for *Marilyn,* the visual unpleasure is made possible by way of repetition. A "home video" of a very young Marilyn playing with all kinds of sexualized props is repeated five times with the musical accompaniment of "I'm Through with Love" also sang five times. > *Anemic Cinema* By Marcel Duchamp, 1926. I have used it twice in the Intro. class but I have decided to drop it. Incomprehensible French puns to a US audience. BTW: I show the eye slashing shot in *Chien Andalou* in slow motion at lecture. It *always* gets them!
