Pretty Vacant Video
Superbowl Sunday, 1998
I don't give a damn about football, and neither does anyone else who appears in this video.
A low-grade tribute to the classic films of Vittorio De Sica--may we once again develop a taste for realities we can live and represent to each other--this was shot, without planning, on Superbowl Sunday 1998 in Pacific Beach, California, while the "big media event" was going down a few miles across town at newly christened Qualcomm Stadium. Somewhere between the Superbowl/Republican Convention image of "America's Finest City" and National Enquirer coverage of Heaven's Gate, this homevideo-style short steps, layer by layer, a little lower into San Diego beach culture.

It's a sign of the times, of our current pandering to "fuehrer-ship" of all kinds, that such a thing as a variable frame-rate codec even exists. The only purpose served by variable frame rate codecs is to achieve more frequent synchronization between the lips of the star-icons we are meant to worship and the politico-cultural directives they utter for our consumption. rri (Aug '00)ROGER UNIVAC LIVE WEBCAM
Stay tuned for further spine-tingling adventures!!! mrbdawg (Aug '99)
