>the city is the character
>>222364564Haha, yeah. Instead of the city is A character. I'm only about an hour into it and I don't think I'm going to make it. But it's cool that in the age of Youtube it is posted in nearly its entirety for anyone to see. It didn't get much play in theaters.Thanks for replying. I knew this wouldn't be a popular thread. But maybe more will check in in 8 hours after completing the whole film.It could happen.
I like Andy Warhol. People think of him as some super ironic hipster now who wanted to point out the superficialty of the art world or something like that. But I'm pretty sure he was just an autistic fuck who sincerely loved boring shit. And I can relate to that.
>>222364901I just rewatched Basquiat and got the itch to learn more about him again. Now I need to see I Shot Andy Warhol again. I rented the VHS about 25 years ago and likely watched it drunk.
7:32:50Imagine being in the theater for it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rVsawVpPLg>Preservation scan from two 16mm reels courtesy of the Estate and Foundation of Andy Warhol.NOTE: The most viewed video of EMPIRE (uploaded by "dradny") is a modern fanmade recreation. The user has even managed to get a still of his recreation as the main image on the film's IMDb page. The "dradny" video (and all subsequent videos in which other YouTubers used it as a basis for their own time-compressed versions) has nothing to do with the original EMPIRE production, which was spearheaded by Andy Warhol, John Palmer and Jonas Mekas from July 24 to July 25, 1964. The original 16mm reels have not even been digitized in their entirety.If you're interested in passing off a forgery as the real thing, please (1) get a Bolex camera, (2) use Kodak Tri-X 400 film, (3) shoot at the proper time period relative to sundown, (4) know that EMPIRE is actually a succession of 12 takes and not a single uninterrupted take, (5) push-process the film to ASA 1000, (6) project/render the footage at 16 fps, and (7) don't disable your comment section.Shit, I'm sorry for posting some bullshit.
>>222364941>I rented the VHS about 25 years agoThat will be a hefty fine.
>>222365164Oddly enough I still live in that town and that video store is still operating. But they don't rent out VHS anymore.
