Too bad my VCR doesn't work no more.

I, too, am having trouble finding anything but excerpts of the film online. (Thanks, rick-220, but the film was deleted at vimeo the same day you posted the link here.)

Is there any dvd (or even vhs) short film compilation that includes it? I could try to rent it from a store or through inter-library loan or something....

I can't find any such info on Arnold's official site, and he offers only a 25-second clip of the film.

Hey, Mr. Arnold, I'm not in a position to pay $60 to the NY Film-Makers Cooperative to RENT your 15-minute film. I really hate the word "elitist" but filmmakers who make it nearly impossible to see their work are one subset of humans who earn the negative typecasting of that word.

Rejoice because all three Martin Arnold movies are here:

BTW they were available on VHS (I know cos I bought it) but to the best of my knowledge, there hasn't been a DVD reissue.

I for one found the film to be lacking in subtilty, and the humor to be very juvenile.

Martin Arnold spotted some incestious undertones in old footage, good for him, but rather than write an essay on it, or film something original influenced by it, he edits the original footage to emphasise his points in very obvious ways, while using repetition and dragging on that repetition until you want to pull your hair out. I watched this with a class of maybe 40 people and the most the film got was a couple of awkward, stiffled laughs from the back.

This guy is actually a lecturer or a professor??

What's he tell his students? That if they can't think of original ideas, or if they can't figure out how to let their ideas be shaped naturally by their influences, they can just use material from superior film makers of the past and make it slo-mo and repetative and arty farty *beep* will think it is amazing?
