Distractions: Master East West
Posted by drocolate on June 19th, 2009The economy sucks. We all know this.
And even I have to admit that sometimes bitching about it gets a little old.
So with that in mind, I started this new feature here at ITE. It’s called “Distractions” and it’s designed to help take your mind off of our current economic shitstorm — if only for a few minutes.
DISTRACTION #8: Master East West
Holy shit. Take a look at this thing:
A friend sent this to me and I’ve been studying it ever since. It’s just so layered. I’m really curious what its origin is. Is it real or fake? When was it made? WHY was it made?
It’s like Creating Rem Lezar. Only worse. I mean better.
Seriously. Just wow.
I would break this down further, but I think the video’s weirdness really speaks for itself. I do want to point out that I personally feel like the craziest moment is at 2:50, when Master East West turns into a young Jerry Lewis and does a really long “don’t fuckin’ bug me, kid… I’m doing a line of coke here” snort. It’s a REALLY strong moment.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to take three deep with this dude:

this guy’s a pederass.
It’s obvious that “There’s a Winner Inside” could on for another five minutes (including outro fadeout) at the end, but the studio pressured the director into cutting most of it. So what does he do? Drops that awesome “Everything is terrible!” graphic on a stock photo of outer space to show the world the despair he feels now that his vision has been co-opted. This is the work of an auteur before he has any pull in the industry. A proto-auteur. I look forward to his next project.
brainstorming session at local Buddhist temple in Rancho Viejo. “It’s so frustrating that there’s all these kid shows raking it in with cliche humanist and judeo-christian ideas. I bet if we put our heads together, recruited some of the kids from my YMCA karate class, we could do something as good as Barney.” “As good as? We’ll do something 10X better! Have you ever seen Barney slap a kid? Y’know, to get a point across.” “I like it — no really, this is awesome.” “Should we animate it?” “Oh, hell no, real people will help it keep its edge.” “Good point.” “New age Buddhism kicks ass,” they said in unison.
