The latest fashion on teh internets is not something you wear…well, it’s not something you wear. You just get to watch, and possibly film yourself watching. It’s the brilliant art film ‘Two Girls 1 Cup,’ cited by Boing Boing as a flick with ‘the heady metaphysical influence of Fassbinder and Herzog […] which treats its characters in a scope of almost Wagnerian breadth.’
Hersh was kind enough to remind me that I have to stay in touch with the life force of Internet fads, and insisted—emphasis on insisted—I treat my first watching as something special, as if it were the loss of virginity or the one year anniversary of 9/11. In this case, ‘something special’ means pointing an iSight in my face and catching how I react [.mov, 1.8MB] as I work my way to the film’s end.
This is the part of the blog post where I tell you not to google ’2 girls 1 cup’, not to click ‘Play’, not to watch.
