Things like this review on #globalmoneyworld of our project BlackLiq x @Ohbliv - “What Will It Take” mean everything. The coverage has been so inspiring, from Croatia’s #blackouthiphop to these unique words from Brazil’s #roadiemusicmag and this nod from #rhythmanddrilltv and #digiindie We’ve even gotten “Good” in rotation on radio stations and now “Rhyme” is startling to move on shows like #culturewildstation & #djschame with #ickycrates Since our exclusive launch on #manbitesdogrecords bandcamp with limited edition physicals we have sold out of the project on vinyl in a bit more than a day, and we’re getting closer to running out of tapes and CD’s every day! Thank you! #BlackLiq #Ohbliv #ManBitesDog #HipHop #Rare #cassettes #vinyls #tapes #artifacts #discogs #LimitedEdition #RVA #NoW #WOFTD https://www.instagram.com/p/CmiMS96DKBs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Thoughts : Man Bites Dog (1992)

As long as there has been film, there have been filmmakers that eschew traditional format, choosing to blur the lines of genre and style to great effect. One of the most unique forms of genre-bending cinema is the mockumentary, where the content is presented as fact, despite the generally outrageous nature of what we are presented. In 1992, a group of French filmmakers blew the minds of those in attendance at the Cannes Film Festival with a film as hilarious as it was controversial : Man Bites Dog.

Filmmakers Andre (Andre Bonzei) and Remy (Remy Belvaux), in their search for a documentary subject, discover Ben (Benoit Poelvoorde), a sociopath with a penchant for murder. The crew follows Ben around as he kills indiscriminately, all the while professing his philosophy, protocol and procedure on how he hunts and dispatches his victims. As the crew continues to document over time, Ben becomes less and less discreet with his killings, and all the while, Andre, Remy and the crew find themselves transitioning from witnesses to participants. At first, the crew helps with dispatching bodies, but over time, they eventually find themselves taking part in the crimes. Ben’s practices, however, come back to haunt him, turning him from killer to a public enemy, and putting himself and the crew in the line of fire.

This film is a bold, brash and at times downright depressing sign of the times. In a world that was just discovering the tenants of reality television, unknowing that the format would eventually come to dominate entertainment, Man Bites Dog was well ahead of the curve in terms of not sugarcoating the presentation of its subject (albeit this presentation was an extreme one). The public has come to thrive off of the conflict (and possibilities of subjects presenting the worst of themselves) that seems to fuel modern day entertainment, very similar to the way that Andre and Remy find themselves captivated by Ben to the point that they become active participants in the madness. Ultimately, Ben becomes the director of his own show, and the presence of the film crew becomes a form of instant validation for his actions, as he justifies his actions under the guise of entertainment.

Where the film really works, as previously mentioned, is the slow and subtle way that the crew morphs into killers at the hands of Ben and his actions. The transition from shocked witnesses to willing participants happens when one of the crew is killed by an eventual victim of Ben’s, but once they get the taste for blood, their descent into depravity is is as shocking as it is quick. At a point where the normal person would distance themselves from the walking, talking danger that is Ben, his magnetic personality manages to embolden them, lifting them out of their sorrow and ‘helping’ them feel larger than life, all the while never shedding their true role as documentarians as they capture the entire series of events.

The purposely amateur, realistic presentation works extremely well, instantly engaging us as viewers into a world that mirrors our own in all aspects except for Ben’s actions. The handheld nature of the majority of the film mirrors that of Cops, helping to push that immersive nature to its limits. The crew attempts the traditional manner of capture at first, trying to stay out of the way and impartial to the subject, but many aspects of the production become key to the film itself : Ben constantly complains about the lights blowing his cover, many moments occur where the sound separates from the subject, and at one point the zoom lens is used to aid Ben in his capture of a victim. The black and white choice removes glamour from the film, instead making it as gritty and dangerous as the world presented to us.

Andre Bonzel and Remy Belvaux do a good job of portraying innocent witnesses that find themselves eventually corrupted by the mix of charm and terror they are presented with, and their cult member-esque devotion to Ben is captured pitch perfectly. Benoit Poelvoorde, hands down, is the heart and soul of the film, and the majority factor in whether or not the film works. His joy presented in the presence of others is infectious, and the way that he carries himself and uses his personality to capture a room is hard to deny. This is paralleled, however, with a truly callous, heartless and selfish manner that he switches to with little to no warning, embodying many of the factors that define the most sociopathic killers and criminals in history. Not only is he bloodthirsty, but his general lack of caring for humanity is peppered with touches of racism, misogyny and pedophilia, usually presented as offhand comments.

While serial killers are nothing new to the world of cinema, Man Bites Dog managed to serve as a both a transitional style bridge, and a warning of what was to come in the world of entertainment if left unchecked and unregulated. Human nature has always been to push the limits, and the commentary provided on what could possibly occur if the limits of entertainment were pushed is stark, shocking and wholly impactful.

Nearly every dog at a shelter is there because of human error. With every new potential dog owner I try to instill the fact that we need to go at the dog’s pace, not our own. We need to see things from their perspective. The dogs that get returned almost always come back because people rush things. They throw them into dog meet ups. They try to introduce cats quickly. They throw a dozen people at the dog at a get to know my dog party. They leave food around and then try to take the food out the dog’s mouth. They do not secure a yard and just throw a dog out there. The list goes on and on. Nearly every dog at a shelter is there because of human error. #newdog #newdogsmell #puppy #dog #lovedogs #lovedog #dog #rescuedogsofinstagram #rescuedog #fostercare #fosteringsaveslives #adoptdontshop #adoptdontshop🐾 #savedogs #shelterdog #shelter #dogtraining #dogtrainer #manbitesdog #pyschology #patience #patienceisavirtue #bestdogever #dogphotography #dogphoto #dogpark #dogmom #dogdad #dogdays #pup #puppiesofinstagram (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUFAv6ZFPAu/?utm_medium=tumblr

"Man bites into food." _ brunch and MAN BITES DOG by University Games It's the hilarious headline card game! This game is a little different: you're dealt a hand of cards with words on them, each with a point value. When it's your turn, construct the headline that earns the highest points... and often the biggest laughs! The first player to get to 500 points wins. If more than one player earns 500 points when the hand's points are totaled, the highest score wins. _ Card Game . Headline Humor . point system 2-6 players . 10+min . Kids+ my rating: 3 - worth buying new for many plays. Add to Collection. https://youtu.be/Ahzy0FxNxNE _ #manbitesdog #universitygames #pancakes #oxtailsoup #omelettes #eggandpancakes #brunch #brunchandboardgames #tabletopgames #cardgames #games #tabletops #gamestagram #tabletop #boardgames #foodandboardgames #familytime #geekphotos #geekphotography #foodporn https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ANSbJBZ9L/?igshid=i6vhlsapshmq

So here’s the latest: My band @armagideontimerva is up for a @newlinmusicprize Make sure you go vote for that, it’s in my bio. It would be great to take home that trophy and $1000 cash prize. @manbitesdogrecords just announced a new single that @dubsonata and I made together called “The B-Side.” You should be able to presave that later today. It’s a terrifying, dark record. When we turned it in the label said “is that part about the window true?” Yes. My project with genius producer @ohbliv “What Will It Take” is out now and we have two videos “Good” & “Rhyme” All that is in my bio, you should be all over those, they’re really great and we are very proud. We’ve got CDs and Tapes on the #manbitesdogrecords bandcamp I’ve got a bunch of stuff I haven’t announced yet. I think right now we’re in October of 2023 on my calendar, so get used to updates like this. And this amazing photo by @razorbladesandaspirin is from my bands most recent show at @fuzzycactusrva I promise we hit even harder in person. I gotta say, this is the year I’ve been working years to reach. I couldn’t have gotten here without your support from day one. I promise you it’ll be worth the wait. Thank you. #TLDR #Thankyou #armagideontime #hiphop #strangefamous #anticorp #manbitesdog #RVA #NoW #WOFTD (at The Future) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoxwB1rvC8o/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
