I’m not someone who’s opposed to doing something just for the sake of doing it. You need to remember that I once bought two ASIMO robots simply to stage chariot races. Only to find out the ASIMO Harness League doesn’t really exist. I also built a Tesla coil in my backyard, but the city shut it down. The iron fist of Edison still exists. Be afraid ‘merica. I’ve also been credited with inventing vegetables.
Certainly you understand I am no stranger to the superfluousness, but sometimes we as a species just go to far.
por ejemplo:
FRAMES -snowboarding shortfilm teaser from Flatlight Films on Vimeo.
We DO NOT need a slower snowboarding video. What we need is a shrad flick that can keep me awake for more than seven minutes.
Then again maybe this is in a whole different class of videos, and needs to be enjoyed for the simple fact that high-speed cameras make it look pretty cool. It’ll be like when Audi got kicked out of rally racing.
Or better yet they should market it as “The Snowboardingest Slow Movie Ever!” because really, the high-speed cameras are the star of this show. And I don’t think anyone can take the crown of “Slowest” from Standard Films.
Just looking at their website put me to sleep. This post was supposed to go up yesterday, but I was comatose.
Some other things I would like to do in life, just to say I did it:
- Whaling.
- Conquer Mario 2
- Own a megaphone
- Prepare a Thai meal that doesn’t turn out garbage barged.
- Aubrey Plaza
- Marijuana topiaries of classic scenes from Richard Donner films
