24 hours of minutes The Los Angeles County Museum is showing a 24-hour film in which the minutes tick by in real time, while the audience sees clocks or watches from movies and television. It starts Monday at 11 AM and ends Tuesday at AM. LACMA is keeping the café open all night to serve the moviegoers.

Doesn't this sound like a blast?

  • Only at certain times of the day...
  • Never has the phrase that some people need to "get a life" had more meaning.
  • I bet there were a lot of movies to choose from for "three minutes before noon" (counting down to some red-wire-cutting action) but where did he find a "seventeen minutes past three and eleven seconds" clip? If I could just see a clip I could decide if this was a great work of genius or sad and lame.
  • Looks like obsessive work though. That counts for a lot in modern art. Almost more than sheer genius, which won't be noticed... until later?
  • Who has time for this?
  • Here is the 2:16 pm to 2:22 pm section that someone pirated. See it before they find it and take it down. I think it is closer to genius than lame.
  • Clock o'dial Dundee!!!
  • Unemployed people have time for this. And even then, I didn't make it.
