The Onion’s A.V. Club says this deserves to “float around the ‘ol blogosphere,” and I agree. Because if we can get enough people to support experimental films based on scenes from TV’s Full House, then one day I’ll be able to watch Candace Cameron and Dave Coullier on a big screen at Anthology Film Archives — oh wait, that’s already happening this very week with Michael Robinson’s Light is Waiting (GreenCine has a review from its NYFF screening). Well, then, I await an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art next. Really, that’s where our high art should be going: backwards, and glancing at the low art of the past. I mean, this is the year in which we see Ben Kingsley make out with Mary-Kate Olsen (in The Wackness), so it’s obviously a time for mixing cultures by blurring the lines between high and low cultural artifacts.
Just to give you what little background on this video is known (or needs to be known): it took artist Paul Slocum three years to make, and all of those actors reenacting the scene were paid. I’d love to find out if some kind of grant funded the project, because the endower surely needs a medal. Or a kick in the pants.
