Big ol' Longo Part Two: The Innocent

There'll be some discussion of that in the final part.

I do now!

Sounds like an example taken out of real life. By the way, that is exactly what I shouted myself. And I was not the only feminist in the room.

One critique: you say "your older sister yells at to do something" and that kind of implies your older sister to be the femminst in the room, which kind of implies the audience to be male. I don't know, but it feels like the tendency of esp YouTube Videos speaking to the audience as if they were male, which is meh

I am really enjoying this series Ian. Lays out the ideas firmly and eloquently with a lot of good editing to keep things clear and interesting.

So, I make these super intricate detailed line drawings and share the progress as I'm going via Instagram. I get the naked and exposed thing, for sure. But also, I've come to see how much folks appreciate my process. And it's cool to think that as a patron, I get some insight to your process. I love understanding how people move through an idea and come to ways of presenting that idea clearly. I also love watching how people get better and better at skilful expression of nuance and complex analysis. It helps me learn to do it better myself. So, I consider seeing your process a gift. :)

I won't pretend to know where your argument is going, but this got me thinking about this moment between the Dag and the Keeper of the Seeds. Dag: You kill people with that, do you? KotS: I killed everyone I ever met out here. Headshots, all of them. Snap, right in the medulla. Dag: I thought somehow you girls were above all that. And that prompts the Keeper of the Seeds to show the Dag her seed collection. I always interpreted this moment as a sort of antifa apologia, saying that violence doesn't necessarily preclude respect for life or vice versa. But it could also be a commentary on the woman-as-pacifist. Anyway, great work! I'm loving seeing this come together.

I noticed this in re watching Sunshine. The women in the crew dismissed the male violence in the beginning of the movie each time, and the movie seemed to frame them in the right. (rest is spoilers) And then the innocent objected to murder for the sake of survival, and she was outright ignored. And then in the final scene, she overcomes herself to punch the bad guy (and yes, it's a disaster film where the bad guy is a man corrupted by the disaster)

Thing that strikes me on second viewing: I like that technique you use of concluding with a reframing. It's not a rescue (something which some other subject does to an <em>object</em> that is being controlled), it is an escape (something which the <em>subject</em> being controlled accomplishes in the face of that control). It is an epigram that captures an essence of what you have explained.

No complaints from me! The alternative to seeing a rough video now is seeing nothing until it's completely done, so I'll take something now (albeit with a grain of salt).

Sam

I like this; this is good.

Freddy Moore

The cut is rough, but the ideas are solid and valuable.

The Packbats

You have no idea how much i love what you do

Rissa Haller

This is good and insightful stuff, and damn do I need to watch this movie.
