aaahhhhhh

hhhmmm, how to describe the dark-shining, no-sellout attitude of Nick Cave & his buds?
..sh!t, they're so damn good that legendary German art-filmmaker, Wenders, decided to have Nick & the Bad Seeds perform an
extended live jam in a BERLIN nightclub in the midst of that heavy, foggy atmosphere in his gritty-angelic, one of a kind film "Wings of Desire"

THE Legendary TRANSGENDER rockabilly Punks^_-

& now.. eLectronicahhh like u NEVER s33n it, dig THIS...

Now I know why DELTRON told me to
listen to MORPHEUS when he offered this Blue TABLEToP instead of the infamous BLUE Pill--
it's tw3akin' the fUtUre jam like u
NEV3r did the robot

a MULTI-user electronic music-instrument
with a "TABLETOP TANGIBLE user interface,"
b3yond the "keys" that pianos/synth & keyboard players have pluck'd for centuries now...

_ Several simultaneous performers share complete control over
the instrument by moving physical objects
on a luminous table surface.
By moving and relating these objects, representing components of a classic modular synthesizer, users can create complex and dynamic sonic topologies,
with generators, filters and modulators,
in a kind of tangible modular synthesizer or graspable flow-controlled programming language."
The instrument's developed by a team of digital "luthiers" (Sergi Jordà, Martin Kaltenbrunner, Günter Geiger and Marcos Alonso)
at the Music Technology Group in the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (((Barcelona, Spain.))

Movies:

Ingrid Bergman's daughter with Canadian director Guy Maddin... not many films are even in the same league with this movie's bizarre story & distorted, visionary camera work, music & acting.

welly well my Little Droogies, a bit of the old ultraviolence ala Kubrick.

that Orwellian paranoid & all too real future-vision from Monty Python animator-turned-director Terry Gilliam who also did The Brother's Grimm, Twelve Monkeys, The Fisher King, & lots more-- including his surreality for "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" with Johnny Depp as that iconoclastic, psychedelic reporter Hunter S. Thompson, may he rest in chemically altered-peace}.

V... pretty much says it all^_-

sh!t, this is definitely one hardcore movie,
a film with smarts, guts, harsh freakin' storyline & a great cast.

created by the same screenplay writer who wrote "Adaptation". it was directed by that dreamy music French video guru Michel Gondry, who went bigtime with serious amazing films after his cool, inventive videos caught the attention of Björk, who asked him to direct the video for her song "Human Behavior". The collaboration proved long-lasting, with Gondry directing 6 music videos for her.
Other artists who have collaborated with Gondry on more than one occasion:
The White Stripes, The Chemical Brothers, and Kylie Minogue. He also created some television commercials and
even pioneered the "bullet time" techniques of "The Matrix" notably in his "Like A Rolling Stone" video for the Stones, and a '98 commercial for Smirnoff vodka, as well as directing a trio of cool holiday-themed commercials for The Gap.
He won an Academy Award alongside Adaptation's writer Charlie Kaufman and Pierre Bismuth for the story of Eternal Sunshine.
(( h3h, he directed Chappelles' Block Party too ))

It's one of the best environmental & sensual trips u can experience if u love artistic imagery.
a nice touch are the names the filmmaker Ron Fricke choose for each project: Baraka "an ancient Sufi word, translated as a blessing or as the essence of life from which the evolutionary process unfolds"..
& his breakthrough film that started the series,
Koyaanisquatsi... a Hopi native Indian word meaning "Life out of Balance," all about the crazy, frenetic realm us humans have built in our rat race that crushes the natural & spiritual environment without & within.

"Yeah, I saw Run Lola Run...3 Times"
heh, if u never saw it, the film repeats the same story as
3 movies in sequence that all show repeated versions from different aspects of the same storyline

THE classic...

ye original Sexy Robot from that ole black & white, revolutionary sci-fi-political classic of the slave-labor of the masses from 80 years ago... not to mention the amazing way early-legendary director Fritz Lang managed to create artistic integrity in times when sci-fi movies usually had idiotic effects--it kicks mucho classic-film ass.
...Fritz Lang's 1920's rare, future-shock.

L.A. Confidential... intense film, with another great cast.

from Frank Herbert's DUNE, the 1984 film-version done by that twisted genius of Twin Peaks & more: David Lynch.

This is about as curvy & gutsy as Spielberg has ever gotten.
MUNICH '72.. terrorist hit squads, revenge, the cost of revenge,
land, religious + political cold war alliances..
and in the end, a genious touch of ambiguity that makes u think

another Coppolla masterpiece: when his wife filmed "Hearts of Darkness" [the documentary of this film whose title puns the film's reference], she explored & revealed the insane sh!t that went down while the film was being made near S. East Asia, mostly the Philippines.
Among bizarre events like Martin Sheen's heart attack during filming, is a harsh self-reflecting moment by Francis Coppolla in which, late during the project, he honestly admits that he feels his film is basically a faliure-- "a piece of sh!t" [I think those are actually his exact words].
Pretty amazing self criticism from the film that set a new standard of reality & depth for filmmaking of war movies, from the realism of the daily psychological fear & confusion of the army personnel, to the confusion of the chain of command & it's toll on innocent life, to the hardcore view into the heart of a commander who'd seen too much of "the horror."
the use of music like Hendrix & acid trips & the Playboy Playmate striptease for the troops just showed the hilarious insanity of wars delivered to us by the hierarchy marlarkey.
I guess the synchronicity that tells it best was this-- a REAL event that happened during the filmmaking one day: Coppolla needed lots of helicopter-gunships to fly into the scene & battle against groundtroops; so the movie-magic-making special-fx crew spent hours--or maybe days--setting up all the expensive explosions that were to be blown when the helicopters reached the battle set & fired rockets, etc.
.. so what went down? Well, it was filmed in the Philippines with help from the Philippino goverment, probly to give it a real Vietnam-ish, Asian world look/feel. ...And the Philippino government is where all the battle-helicopters were rented, etc.
yet in absolut insane war karma, the Philippinos were also fighting a REAL tho perhaps small civil war in the southern area or somewhere far from Coppolla's movie setting.
so after days of prep work & all the complex, expensive explostion-gear placed by the special-fx guys, the scene begins--- lots of REAL, battle scarred helicopters start flying into view for one fo the biggest budgeted battle scenes perhaps of the time in movie-costs;
then, as the special-fx guys start detonating the carefully placed explosives & all the army-actors are going thru their fighting scenes, the helicopters just turned aruond & left without even finishing half the scene...
Coppolla & crew had just lost perhaps a half MILLION bucks & days of prep time for a complete waste.
.. but the darker scenario of war reared it's ugly head: just as the Philippino helicopter captains were flying-in to shoot Coppolla's massive battle scene, they LITERALLY got an emergency radio-overide-call from Philippine headquarters ordering them to immediately reverse course due to the fact that they were needed in the REAL civil war raging across other areas of the Philippines.
how can one movie have so many karmic events, whew.
So, if u like Coppolla's Godfather trilogy or this film or any others, make DAMN sure u see the documentary of that film by his wife called "Hearts of Darkness" that tells all these bizarre tales of what really went down BEHIND the scenes.

kusanagi & the cyberpunk anime folks

can't help diggin' Johnny Depp as Edward or any other character;)

2001 before we reached 2001 ... whew: Kubrick, Clarke + HAL.

half the critics thought it was crap, the others thought it was brillinat & decades b4 it's time.
My favorite was the critic who proclaimed that 2001 as a film "would be the death of Kubrick"--as an up an coming director--- I wonder how embarassed that critic feels whenever anyone reminds him of probly the most off-target, foolish prediction in film history;)
I was real let down by the sequal, 2010, tho it was indeed cool to see the original star[child] portrayed by the same actor: Keir Dullea, man that was seriously cool... and even the original voice of HAL: that spookily cold awesome voice of actor Douglas Rain.
Also, I decided to give 2010 less bashing when I thought about something unique in their special effects when Dave Bowman (Kier Dullea), lost/missing for all the years since 2001 suddenly appears like a matter-of-fact-ghost & tries to communicate to the main character just what is going on;
in that scene, we see different special fx scenes of human forms--- a baby (yeah, they had to do the star child from the original film, h3h), other forms & of course Bowman as an ancient looking 90 year old dude...
and not until weeks later, did it strike me: this was symbolic that the mysterious "MONOLITH" advanced aliens were creating a life-sustaining moon near Jupiter by taking Jupiter, a huge hot planet, into a sort-of dwarf star & by using millions of similar MONOLITHS to implode it into this odd "white dwarf-like" star, meaning it would be in perfect position to give life sustaining energy, just like our sun, to one of the moons of Jupiter which had very basic, undeveloped life (like big slugs;-).
since this moon was sooo far from our solar system's inner area where we receive enough sun-warth/radiation to support life, the aliens had achieved their massive experiment to collapse Jupiter into a tiny star that would yeild the energy that would then turn a frozen moon's life from a an almost deaed ice-world with only "slug" life-- into an Earth type planet that could sustain a biosphere & other systems that would grow into a thriving living planet.
So it ended well, but the overall movie just didn't have the edgy, visionary, artistic genius of 2001's director Kubrick, and this 2010 ended up as just a good but certainly not GREAT sci-fi film.
to top it all off, the book publishers had been hounding Authur C. Clarke for decades after the original success of 2001 to keep writing sequels, and I think his heart just wasn't in it----tho I read 2010 and I gotta say, it wasn't bad at all.
