I noticed he has very straight posture, holds himself with dignity, appears relatively patient, emits an aura of kindness and thoughtfulness, and he's pleasing to look at (handsome). I read several of his poems in Beltway and liked them a lot. Initially I watched for a bit, then scrolled down and read the narrative, then returned and stayed put, as E Ethelbert Miller did.

The "Three Minutes With..." portrait series, a web cannabilization of Andy Warhol's "Screen Test," responds to a point-and-click culture in which 180 seconds is a lifetime. Indeed, nothing happens in my portrait of Mr. Miller. But my hope is that you will actually look at E. Ethelbert Miller, really see E. Ethelbert Miller. Who is E. Ethelbert Miller? What does E. Ethelbert Miller reveal about himself in these three minutes? And why is "sitting still" necessarily boring? Repeated viewing may be necessary. Thanks for the comment "Q"...if that is your real name.

This is a 3 minute video of an expressionless Mr. Miller sitting still and occasionally adjusting his glasses and blinking. Oh...let's not forget the finale...he licks his lips. Come on CP, this isn't even a good "Stare" game video. With all the 3 minutes of nothingness to choose from, why this? Even Pootie Tang's Silent song was funnier than this.
