It's just that I'm too introverted for making vids on YT or 'Tok. My extroverted friend doesn't even hesitate to make vids on TikTok, while I post a vid on YT every blue moon. Typing text on Bluesky and blogging is just soo much easier. I want to make video essays, but I don't have any motivation :( #introvert #blogging #videoessays

„How movies watch the news“: Wo liegt die Wahrheit?

Ein kluges Video-Essay von Sophie Park fĂŒr Little White Lies ĂŒber Darstellung und Wirkung von Nachrichten in Filmen und welche Rolle dabei uns als Publikum zukommt.

These long-form feature-length movies unpick the workings behind the news and remind us to take an active role in the visual information we’re fed and the agenda behind it. Perhaps even going so far as to receive the news and what we hope are facts, from concrete, trustworthy sources beyond the illusory screen.

Fuck yeah, here’s one of the original youtube video essayists (back in the day he pioneered the genre together with a small bunch of other formerly Channel Awesome-affiliated folks like Dan Olson/Folding Ideas, Leon Thomas and Lindsay Ellis) reminding us what a video essay can still aspire to be. I’ve often had kind of a hard time with Kyle Kallgren’s essays in recent years, not because he hadn’t worthy things to communicate but rather because he’s grown a tendency to go way overboard with the goofy bits, something he’s not that good at to begin with and a bit of a tired clichĂ© (of youtubers aspiring to be seen as goddamn filmmakers or actors or comedians) i can only take in moderation these days. It’s exactly why i can’t ever make it through, say, a Patrick Willems video (that, plus a number of pretty shallow-to-genuinely-bad, middle-of-the-road takes that had me tune out at some point). I’m actually kinda glad the Channel Awesome-informed days when half-assed comedy bits were deemed mandatory are long gone.

This newest Kallgren video is pure brilliance though. Don’t be too alarmed by that whole youtube standard “Top 20 List” schtick, which is indeed just another satirical bit he thankfully tones down fairly quick to act as more of a springboard for a deeper discussion and commentary on issues regarding the culture we’re fed by the Hollywood- and comic book industrial complex. Give it a spin. It’s worth your time and attention in an era when things worth your time and attention have become kinda hard to find in youtube culture criticism.

The Canvas sucht nach der Bedeutung von Whistler’s Mother

Wer popkulturell interessiert ist und/oder mit Mr. Bean aufgewachsen ist, der kennt vielleicht noch „Whistler’s Mother“, das GemĂ€lde von James McNeill Whistler, das eigentlich den sperrigen Titel „Arrangement in Grau und Schwarz: PortrĂ€t der Mutter des KĂŒnstlers“ trĂ€gt und im ersten Kinofilm BEAN von Rowan Atkinsons Alter Ego in Mitleidenschaft gezogen wird.

Jedenfalls hat Whistler das Bild selbst offenbar immer nur als reine Ă€sthetische Übung betrachtet. Doch was passiert, wenn man das einfach ignoriert und sich selbst auf die Suche begibt, was hinter der Ästhetik und den begleitenden Worten des KĂŒnstlers liegt? (Ich werde weiterhin nicht mĂŒde, immer wieder zu betonen, dass letztlich nur das Publikum die Deutungshoheit ĂŒber Kunst hat.)

Der Macher des fĂŒr mich immer wieder lehrreichen Youtube-Channels The Canvas hat diesen Prozess einmal anhang von „Whistler’s Mother“ durchexerziert.
