Well everyone, it's finally over. After YEARS of posting on bald cartoon men with glasses website, our time here has finally come to an end. For better or worse, this is how it has to be. I have to give my sincerest thanks to everyone who has contributed to this site's success, everyone from the slopjak shitposters to the genuine effort posting users who have tried to make this place fun to use.

All of you have etched out a name for the jarty as something worth remembering. I hope you all had as much fun as I did, because the memories I made here are something I hope to have the privilege of being able to take to my grave. Thank you all for the good times and good laughs. I love you all and, at least as it pertains to this site, this is goodbye.

Some time soon I will be putting up a static page in honor of the site and with an archive of old posts.

If you need me, you can reach me on XMPP at https://invite.joinjabber.org/#lute@xmpp.party
or at least for the next month: admin@jakparty.soy.

After learning Brakhage from Dots and Loops was an ode to Stan Brakhage an experimental film maker i watched some of his films. I would recommend Cat's Cradle and Burial Path the first two i watched over the others i watched mainly because they gave me more to think about. Actual directors words confirm his basic idea is he wants you to see the world through an "untutoured" eye which perceives things directly and not through the filtering of previous knowledge but of course you can't do that so it just delivers films where you pick up the meaning through what visuals are presented in Cat's Cradle's case you see cats as well as what you could say is a couple with heavily implied romantic tension. In Burial Path's case it deals with themes related to death through the medium of birds. Other select works from artists wikipedia says he worked with are Maya Deren's At Land and Meshes of the Afternoon which are both surrealistic masterpieces which are felt more than thought and a Glimpse of the Garden by Mary Menken which is stylish cinematography which once again doesn't say anything but is very nice to look at although it is just the images of a garden.
edit i rated Burial Path higher then Cat's Cradle on RYM due to the thematic interest
