film crit detour

I've been watching a ton of videos in the last.. oh well, the last several years I guess, but specifically the last week. My mind just got blown out in the wee drunken hours of this morning by the realest dystopic scifi movie I've seen since Sleep Dealer, A Scanner Darkly or David Icke slideshows- only it's a documentary. I'm serious about this!
It's an already 3 year-old Italian doc called Videocracy. Yeah, you got it- Videodrome meets Idiocracy.
See, first there was A Face in the Crowd, then there was Network, then there was, uh, Gov. Schwarzenegger...it's so surreal that I kept thinking I was watching a really clever "mockumentary." The sound editing alone is incredible, with subtle noise & electronica worked in to ominous effect. It's about modern day, insanely sexist Italian fascis-tainment a la Berlusconi, who actually just happens to be running for re-re-re-election less than a week from now. Howzat for topical?
So yeah, never mind Idiocracy, Mike Judge's smug eugenicist comedy - check out Videocracy. It's a much more convincing, and chilling, vision of The Future, by which I mean Already in Full Effect.
Seriously, did you really think North Korea was the only nation of brainwashed robots?
Oh yeah, it's streaming on netfux too.

ABQ Lost pt. 4: owe my soul to the family store

This document aggregator known as ABQ Lost has many notable themes running throughout its pages.  "Institutional Bitchiness" is certainly one of them, which includes that venerable institution known as the Nuclear Family. These 2 pages featuring related documents were originally going to be in the zine, but didn't make the cut.

"Twenty six points and whaddayou get..."
The font in the following document says it all.
