I dunno, I could never play the myspace video, pretty annoying. Finally got to watch this; obviously it's very very good, I'm not sure there's anything else to say about it, other than courageous and perfectly made.

         

it's here

         

weird, is there a bug or something? your link works fine, but the original post is gone from where it should be a few pages back..

         

hey pancho - we were just about to post this - thanks for handling it - would you be able to copy and paste the embed code into it? You can do it by copying and pasting it here: www.vimeo.com

         

why is this courageous? does it run with scissors? play with fire?

         

Legion, it's a POP video with a budget, that's filled with s&m imagery and tries to make a statment about racism. Don't you think it's pretty amazing that this video was the featured video on myspace, not some saps playing guitar. This. It's fucking bold brother and it's beautifully shot.

Running with scissors doesn't take courage it takes stupidity.

         

Quite well done. Kinda reminds me of the movie Salo, I'm a sucker for balls out videos and this one succeeds. There's nothing to sell, just high concept. Shout to Benjamin Kutsko (VFX).

         

why does it remind you of salo? because it involves flogging? and man-on-man stuff?

         

I kind of found it boring. It takes a fair bit more than a fat black dude in a leather thong and gimp mask whipping a skinny white boy to get me excited.

         

do u think it could be us?

         

A masterpiece.
