Adam,

I mostly agree with you. of course, video is not just a McDonald's
version of film, and should not be considered *only* within a
experimental film tradition. It does draw heavily from television and
cinema - but then again, so do the Kuchar brothers!

hmm, i have to think about this.

As far as Stan Brakhage vs. Ernie Kovacs, I say both! Funny that you
should mention Ernie because he is forever associated in my mind with
perhaps his biggest fan, Kerry Laitala!
