I notice these types of videos on YouTube more and more, complete with WalM-art-rock soundtracks. Who is making them? And who are making these choices? Are they slideshow-purists, some cult of Tesla-loving Edison-haters who believe the motion pictures is an affront to a higher power (the guy from Staind)?
"Thou shalt not flash pictures faster than 1 frame per second; it is an abomination!"
And if you'd please indulge this big leap, consider the trainwreck "Mom & Dad Save The World"
The film begins with lame parents boring their children (or friends?) to tears with a family vacation slideshow. The parents realize they cannot connect with their children -- film and general excitement have rotten their brains, and the family finds themselves, ahem, alienated from one another.
They then get sucked into a cinematic nightmare, literally pulled away from their world to a spaceship filled with gadgets, technology -- captured by the world of Edison-enabled conventional entertainment. The children, humiliated by their weak and emasculated father, are held captive and it is up to Jeffrey Jones, our old-school luddite hero to save them, their mother and the world from the fat fingers of Emperor Spengo (Jon Lovitz -- i.e. shitty entertainer) and his sentient fecal army. Jeffrey Jones is tested -- can he survive acting for the next 90 minutes in a fucking shitty movie? -- and eventually saves the day by defeating Jon Lovitz (who represents cinema).
The film ends with the family enjoying their photo-slideshow of their space adventure. Slideshows win.
What I'm trying to say "Mom & Dad Save The World" was a meta-movie created by Staind-worshipping all-hail-slideshow Teslians demonstrating in "Battlefield: Earth" commentary that movies are evil.
Need further proof that I'm making some sort of sense? Watch "Mom & Dad Save The World," the music video.
Pretty confusing, right?
