Local Movie Show

from Jack's Super 8 (2017 album) by Paul Sprawl

lyrics

Sam and Gene are students at Sul Ross University
And the highlight of the week is a Friday night
Every Friday night, Sam and Gene head out to the local movie show
At Jack's Super 8 store

Yeah they go (6x)
They go to the local movie show

Not a corporate cineplex
It's not digital
It's just Super 8
Every Friday night

Super 8 filmmakers from all over the world
they mail copies of their movies
to screening rooms like Jack's
Yes they do

Yeah they go
Sam and Gene
Yeah they go
Yeah they go
They go to the local movie show

~ John Trudell documentary movie

We cannot out fight them
There may be times to fight
but we cannot out fight them
because they invented that kind of death
We can out think them and we can out live them
but every provocation through history
since they invented that kind of death
every provocation has been to get us at some point
to try to out fight them
So to me, it's like, no
The reality is we've got to outthink them

And if we look at some of the little things about it
We're surrounded in a reality where you have
to get permission to think
That's called chain of command
See, so if you really, really think about it
the guerrilla warrior of the future
is going to be the one that thinks
because in their legions you know
they don't have permission to think
See, only a few get to think
See this starts to equalize out the numbers
alright?

Documentary, Pixellation
Non-narrative and the narrative too

No it's not about nostalgia
It's not a lo-fi or retro fetish
It's just a different format
A real world kind of thing

And they go
Yeah they go
Well they go
Yeah they go
Yes they go
Yes I know
Yes I know they go to the local movie show
They go to the local move show

~ John Trudell documentary...

We will influence the evolution
If we use our intelligence as clearly and coherently as we can
as often as we can
The the evolutionary future will be
more clear and coherent for us
