Both an experimenal movie and good fun? I was needing itOH DEM WATERMELONS
(Robert Nelson, USA, 1965)
Climactic still from the definitive
film on watermelons. They can be cut,
sawed, shot, run over, used as bombs,
or for masturbation. A sickly satire
on documentary films, its manic
intensity spills over into somber
solemnity in which the satirical
almost becomes the impossible. SC
______________________________________________
The definite film about watermelons:
they are cut, sawed, shot, run over,
used as bombs or for masturbation,
appear at the UN, and in toilet bowls.
A sick take-off on documentary films, it
also seems to comment on racial cliches.
What's up with watermelons? They were in Terayama's Grass Labyrinth, Harry Smith's Heaven and Earth Magic, even in Hausu .
Anybody knows what watermelons stand for?
On Eye Rape
"The second film (ON EYE RAPE) was made with footage I picked out of some trash. It was originally an educational film which recorded a plant growing out of the ground. The content isn't important. I punched almost all the frames with a puncher. I made big holes so that when it was projected, people could barely see what was originally in the frames. I didn't punch every frame; there was a lot of flicker from the holes. People got very annoyed and complained. They were afraid they would get hurt by the light. That film was called, in English, On Eye Rape(1962). In fact, I had also inserted (a few frames of)*some porno shots. Pornography was forbidden in Japan; It's still forbidden...."
"An Interview with Taka Iimura", Scott MacDonald, Journal of The University Film Association XXXIII, 4 (Fall 1981)
*ps.This is in fact subliminal shots against censorship.
Kuzu(Junk)
"Junk (1962), for example, in which surreal imagery is used effectively to dramatize the slow ecological destruction brought about by a wasteful industrialized society."
(Scott MacDonald, Anthology Film Archives, New York, 1990)
"It's a mixture of [dead]animals, pieces of [broken] furniture, industrial waste, kids playing. I didn't have in mind any of the kind of historical perspective, nor was I trying to make an ecological statement. I was showing the new landscape of our civilization. My point of view was animistic. I tried to revive those dead animals metaphorically and to give the junk new life." (Takahiko Iimura) "An Interview with Taka Iimura", Scott MacDonald, Journal of the University Film Association XXXIII,4 (Fall 1981)

I spend a couple of days out and when I come back I found you've made a thousand releases and I don't know which one to begin with.
I start feeling like Lauri in Wonderland, I'm sick... I can only see emule's colour bars around me and a white rabbit with a clock saying "you shouldn't click, remember you don't have time to see films, you must work hard", and I start running away but a huge red spiral chases me, it's Fitz's avatar getting bigger and bigger... arggg... I try to scape but it's impossible, it begins to rotate and its terrific centripetal strength attracts me and... click, click, click, click, click, click...
Cada día me supero con una chorrada mayor. XDDDD
Good night my darlings and thanks a lot.

Hello
Ive just downloaded Revelateur, and I suffer some very weird BIG-PIXELIZATE artifacts in some parts of the movie.
They are in all the image TRULY evident...
Are they in the original file, or is a problem with my codec? It seems like a problem with the compression codec....
Can anyone confirm this to me?

Its really a ultraweird experience!!!!!
You even will enjoy them if you are enough mind-sick
I thought also in the possibility of they were done on purspose
The effect is great!!! fine to play when your new BETAgirlfriend is evaluating you .... If she survives to the weird mega-big-pixel of Le revelateur in wonderful B&W (not any gray in there indeed) only 0/1bit per pixel, if she doesn't collapse in a epileptic attack you will be all your life....
NOTE:(don't try this at home, boys)

"oh dem watermelons" was very funny
More info (note the author of the "soundtrack"):
More info (note the author of the "soundtrack"):
A NUMBER OF movies in the 1960s underground film scene won notoriety on conceptual or censorial grounds, but very few were really popular – in the sense that people wanted to (as opposed to thought they ought to) see them, especially more than once. Definitely in the latter camp was Robert Nelson's Oh Dem Watermelons, an 11-minute explosion of energy and parody that became a minor sociopolitical phenomenon. Not all late '60s viewers got it or liked it, and the film was banned in Japan and Australia and seized in Colorado.
Watermelons was commissioned by the San Francisco Mime Troupe as a short entertainment to be screened during intermission for its rather infamous 1965 Minstrel Show (Civil Rights from the Cracker Barrel), which assaulted racial stereotypes by wildly exaggerating them – as performed by (mostly white) performers in blackface, yet. A relative latecomer to filmmaking, the 35-year-old Nelson had just begun fooling around with the medium, mostly in collaboration with then-wife Gunvor Nelson. To make Watermelons he drafted talent from the Mime Troupe and alma mater Mills College, where he'd also found a young composer named Steve Reich, later known (to his occasional annoyance) as the father of minimalism, and thus the person to be blessed or blamed for subsequent fellow travelers Philip Glass and John Adams.
Reich's raucously repetitive choral arrangement of a Stephen Foster oldie (in which a slave mourns his deceased master) adds another satirical dimension to the color visuals, which direct the campus era's mood of anarchy and impudence toward the watermelon. Aiming to explode stereotypes and their symbols, the film finds melons used as bombs, footballs, baseballs, shooting targets, even as sensuous love objects. Watermelons are cut-and-pasted onto existing images (from Superman to a NASA missle) and sometimes animated there, à la Terry Gilliam's Monty Python 'toons. Fruits are chased by white male hordes, then turn around (via the magic of reverse projection) to chase them in return. In spite of the controversy of its time – was it a suitable mocking of racism or a trivialization of the issue? – Oh Dem Watermelons immediately broke out of its Mime Troupe slot to become a long-running favorite at festivals and underground showcases. It's since been nearly canonized as a radical film intervention; playing alongside Born in Flames and Do the Right Thing in the New York Museum of Modern Art's year 2000 "Path of Resistance" film/video showcase.
