Slow Motion's a Goddamn Lie

From a materialist standpoint, the slowing down of visual images is simply not true. But, because the slowing down can make an otherwise ugly incident seem elegant, or even beautiful, it becomes a fucking lie. Mis-visual-information. True, it's interesting to watch, but there is no utility in that, aside from the art of killing time, which, in and of itself, is useful, I suppose. It's all about time. The big stretch. The mother of all movement. Temporal proximity. Opportunity. And the tried and true agency of its exploitation.
