(Part 13B) SAT, July 28, 2007.  SCANNERS 2007 Video Festival.  Film Society at Lincoln Center.  Walter Reade Theater. CRITIC Armond White's "Official History of Music Video: An Introspective" Presentation.This footage airs the original segment/portion of the music video that caused a lot of controversy when it initially aired.(Part 13B)PANTHEON Exhibit CCRITIC Armond White on Michael Jackson "Black Or White"Director: John LandisHere's an article promoting the event:http://www.nypress.com/20/30/news&columns/feature.cfmArmond White can be reached courtesy of the weekly, the New York Press http://www.nypress.comOrthe newsletter, First of The Monthhttp://www.firstofthemonth.org/Here are some quotes from Armond White on this section of the music video.  It's from the essay, "Black Or White, The Gloved One Is Not A Chump"."...It's doubtful if the most devoted Jackson fans were prepared for the coda's display of complex, raw anger.  On the sound stage where the morphing sequence was shot, a panther stalks the set unnoticed by the technicians, and wanders off to a dark, misty city-street set, where the panther transforms into Jackson.  Dressed in black, with white socks and arm brace, plus a black fedora, Jackson turns his early eighties robotic break moves into Kewpie doll spasms that are jerky, tense (his joints seem to have 360-degree hinges) and finally sensual.""This is a film noir version of Gene Kelly's famous Singin' In The Rain number, and Jackson's subversion of that cheerful archetype surely disturbed most people's notion of what show business is all about...""...fondling his groin and pinching his nipple, Jackson goes past exhibitionism into artfully rendered obsessiveness, for anyone who had him pigeonholed as a harmless eunuch, his coda says, 'Not so fast! I'm an adult, I got a dick! And I'm angry,' ""The coda's most amazing semiotic moment is a close shot of Jackson slowly zipping up his fly.  The invisible penis is what's called a 'structuring absence' - - the drive of the entire video represents the thrust of his ego..."The City Sun.
