I think that my task here — rescuing this blog, remember? — made me pander a bit in my last post. If anyone was offended by the low-brow attention to the cute, I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you now.
The following images were stolen from Bruce Conner's film "Report," which deals with the murder of JFK. The film consists entirely of stock footage, so I've decided to borrow only still images of the blank leader Conner uses throughout.
I'm not sure, though, that I've entirely avoided pandering here. As Matthew Wilder remarks, "the most startling moments in the overly psychedelicized 'Report' are the white expanses where we see hairs in the gate and wear and tear on the frames themselves." So, in a sense, I'm treating the film as though it were nothing more than its best parts. Like The Soup does on E!
Oh well — enjoy!
[ADDENDUM: I've wriiten a longer article explaining the ways these blanks work in the context of Conner's film at This Cruellest Month.]
