Scary Movie 5 has so little commitment to continuity, from sequel to sequel and scene to scene, that it borders on avant-garde. The filmmakers have to include wall-to-wall narration from a Morgan Freeman sound-alike just to make the film even vaguely resemble a coherent narrative with a beginning, middle, and end, rather than 85 or so minutes of random nonsense from filmmakers so clearly dispirited by their mercenary assignment that they seem to be running out the clock from the very first frame. A.V. Club review of Scary Movie 5

I feel so overwhelmed by content and words and data that creating more, in a more detailed fashion seems mad. Do you feel this way too? Do you feel laden, eyes agog, slack jawed with more pictures, more words, constantly more. I want less, fewer, to turn off, delete apps, unsubscribe, unlike, unfollow. I want to be quiet and to make things with my hands. How are new thoughts created when so much of our work is based on referencing, case studies, quoting and “curating”?

Sometimes I like to try and imagine a new colour.
