children's song from sam fuller's "the naked kiss"

"killer of sheep"

since i was bugging justin to see this a few months ago-- and because it comes out on dvd this week (with a million extras, including the director's second feature as well, apparently)-- i figured i'd post the trailer for charles burnett's neglected 1977 film killer of sheep. apparently it's never found a real release due to copyright issues surrounding a VERY NECESSARY usage of dinah washington's gorgeous "this bitter earth." a really beautiful film that i urge you to see, particularly if you like the more understated side of 70's stuff from america (terrence malick, etc.). also, it deals with race and poverty with more nuance and curiosity than most of the B.S. we endure nowadays...



EDIT: in the opposite spirit of dumb copyright laws-- and since rubens and aaron introduced me to this thingie-- i figured i'd share the controversial song in question:

Mormons vs. Black Hebrew Israelites

I want to see a whole series of these. So far, the Black Hebrew Israelite is the clear winner. I want to see him take on a Scientologist, then the winner can take on a Reilian.
