Al,
We don't have to agree on particular cases, as long as you engage with
the question of differences in effect, meaning, and implications for
the viewing situation in the use of these things. Maybe there's
something profounder than I saw in the credits of "The Jacket" (which
I kind of liked, actually). But I'm pretty sure whatever is going on
there is pretty different from "Mothlight," and has little to do with
the profound one-frame-at-a-time intersection of projection geometry
and natural forms that is part of what makes the Brakhage film so great.
The danger, too, is in seeming to justify avant-garde film by citing
its uses in feature filmmaking, though, at the same time, there may be
cases when, for strategic reasons, one verges on doing exactly that.
