you are going to love this to bits

[click image, video, hour and a half]

.

I guarantee you will love it. Even if you've already seen it, you will love it over again. Guaranteed.

[Or try it at this link....]

[If all else fails, use this playlist....]

[I can never get over how much this snow monkey looks like Dubya. It throttled me the first time I saw this, and has every time since. Dead ringer.]

  1. Well this is absurd - the movie won't play right - keeps pausing every couple of seconds for a second or so. I ran my speed test to see if Comcast was throttling me, I ran it several times and got results ranging from 7,200 kbps to over 10,000 kbps. I'm supposed to be at 1,200 kbps.

    WTF?

  2. Youtube version not working right either. Still getting ridiculous speed ratings!

  3. I added another link where to get it. Best to let the ad play and then when you get it running, pause it until enough movie downloads ahead of the playback for it to go smoothly. The first link was running fine for me before I decided to download it and turned it off... then the download was fucked up, so I went over to the second link and that is playing beautifully WHILE the downloader is working... hopefully to get a good take this time. Just the soundtrack is enough for me. But the movie is a masterpiece.

  5. It was on Google Video for years, and then suddenly yanked. May have been the first indication I had that the internet was not going to be the permanent abode for anything... that nothing could be relied upon here to continue to function properly... that all this knowledge and opinion and entertainment was coming in a vast, shifting universe more impermanent than our lives. Maybe after capitalism is dead we can have a real internet.

    Anyway, this piece, Baraka, is just astonishing in the revelation of human majesty and idiocy and rapine and selflessness and transience and ignorance and superstition and artistry and fallibility and insignificance and cruelty and rage and emptiness and abjection... everything... everywhere. It's NOT as visually magnificent as "Home", but the soundtrack keeps you riveted. It's beyond the pale educational and should be shown to little children everywhere, and dirt ignorant adults.

    They should NOT have taken it down off Google Video.
