SCREENTEST

Everyone is leaving-they think something will happen: they wait: they grow restless, they shift, cough, wait some more: laugh at the tedium, wonder what is expected from them: grow angry.  They've been gypped-nothing happened and nothing is going to happen, anytime soon.

"This is it?"

But this is not a film still or a photograph or a moment frozen in time-something is happening, under the surface.  Tremors, submission, breath, electricity, light; the image is burned on the retina as the screen goes blank.

I'm sure Andy was looking for the real good cocksucker of the bunch.  Voyeur: butterflies pinned and looked at from every angle.  Their passiveness reciprocation, matching the audience's wondering gaze.

The when nothing happens is when it gets sexy.  The little lick of the lips, the eyebrow lift, the dangerous look.  There are 23,000 paintings in every screen shot.
