In the continuing analysis of the minutia of the BTIKM video, have we chewed on the chess knight symbol yet?
Adam has a decorative one (sometimes bookend) on his shelf - and it gets quite a bit of air time.
Then when light Adam pushes the game board forward - he's not offering to start a game - it's a game already in progress (though it seems like light Adam has gotten more moves lol) and apparently while LA is deploying his pawns, Dark Adam has played his knight - the wily knight.
And DA's large decorative knight is white isn't it? Purely aesthetic decision or recognition of LA as respective shadow self or acknowledgement of presence of dark/light in both 'rooms'.
(No, I don't think it's that deep but I enjoy the guessing game.)
This video is like the book 'Animalia' both lovely and providing hrs of entertainment searching for things.

By the way....I got a little carried away with a post on REALNESS so Q3 kindly created a thread to carry on the discussion. If anyone is interested, here is the link to it: adamtopia.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=inspired&thread=701&page=1BTW...that is not meant to divert any of the current discussions from this page...just a place to wallow in the deep end if anyone is so inclined! :-) |

They made the large white knight on DA's side very prominent at the beginning of the MV. Amongst all of the darker, sharper imagery on DA's side, why the white knight? My take on that is that it forshadows DA being the savior... the 'white knight' if you will....  |

mika..... I know NOTHING about chess. Never played it in my life. :-[ :-/ Oh, I don't play anymore either. Just more to mull in the awesome that is that vid. Along with why does Adam get a cute watering can but no tea pot? He has to bring the hot kettle to his nice Crate and Barrel table? That's just wrong.  In more important news - don't forget the big event tonight - PUPPYBOWL! animal.discovery.com/tv/puppy-bowl/ |

What leaves me gobsmacked are the reporters (I use that term loosely) who are now blaming Adam or implying that he spread this rumor to get PR for his album. They haven't bothered to figure out the actual source of the rumor or to blame the tabloid for basically making shit up based on an old interview mashup. Hell, we figured out it was bogus almost immediately. All it would take is fifteen minutes of googling and reading to figure out the origin of this rumor and that it wasn't Adam or his peeps. Have I mentioned journalism is dead? Alrighty then. Must go off to curmudgeon cave and lick paws until I feel less stabby. I feel you...  |
