Four Eyed Monsters: New episodes (ep 9 to 12)
It has been a while since we heard from the Four Eyed Monsters (filmmakers Arin Crumley & Susan Buice). We have interviewed them in the past. I have fond affection and respect for them and their work. Many times, since all hoopla died down, I found myself defending them, their work, their way of doing things.
The biggest objection I hear is that they teeter on the obnoxious. A feeling akin to an older person feels to a younger person describing their lives as a grand-new-once-in-a-lifetime event when it is actually commonplace and repetitive. If you are in your late 20’s or later, these podcasts and the drama it revolves around remind you how silly, shallow life is in your early 20’s. But that could be intriguing in its own right.
These new podcasts will not change any of those perceptions. We are in our middle 20’s. The relationship is past the film and focused on itself. The big twist is that Susan has decided to be a stripper. I am a little confused on the reasons. Money, sexual exploration and a bigger-middle-finger-fuck-you to Arin are thrown in the mix. One reason, not touched upon, but in the mind of the viewer, would be that Susan, like Arin, are exhibitionists. It does boggle the mind how much recording taking place. Newest fetish: videoblogging!?
Like all of their earlier podcasts, they are honest about what is going on but not truthful. What I mean is that they are stating and describing what is going on. But nothing else. They have added what must be the most annoying cutaways to enhance these statements. But they stop there. What could be incredible conversations are cut short by a montage of beat-over-the-head physical illustrations of what has already been said.
Still following, still interested. As I have plead to the creators of Lost in the past, be easy with the fill.
Episodes nine, ten, eleven, twelve.

Spike Jonze - How they got there
This was the first Jonze video I ever saw. I saw it only because a bunch of big commercial directors from a company I used to work for (not mentioning the name but if you work in the industry, you know of them) could not contain the excitement because they had recieved Jonze’s reel and could not wait another second without watching it. So I had to see what all the fuss was all about and piled in with the rest of the office into the “media room.”
It was wonderful but also quite simple. I was kinda surprised with all the hype over this “Spike” guy. But very soon, the music videos started hitting the streets (early 90’s) and it all made perfect sense.
