Koyanisquaatsi

[Mouldy Bob]

Watched this film for the first time last night and it blew my mind - absolutely horrifying!

It also led to the discovery that Rob Hubbard 'adapted' some of the film soundtrack for Thalamus' Delta - naughty boy!

There is no 'u' in Koyaanisqatsi.

But yes, it is an awesome film, and yes, it did get 'borrowed' just a bit .

I really want a HD release of it now. Goat knows how many times |I've bought it now, I wore out several VHS copies. But it's always worth it .

[Alarm]

Superb film. I have the Qatsi Trilogy on DVD and they are all worth watching. I also have a copy of Anima Mundi and have noticed on that site that it is now out on DVD!

Shame that Reggio never did finish the film he was working on a few years ago - it was billed as a comedy and sounded very interesting.

The bit with the people zooming around the station is cool. It's like some giant flocking algorithm on speed

I love the arcade footage too, the accelerated plays of Pacman, Q-Bert, Roby and Stargate are awesome .

He's not a naughty boy, he's the Messiah...


Ahem. Seriously, it FITS the game so well. Bits of Floyd, bits of Philip Glass. There are quite a few tunes in Rob's back catalogue that are covers/interpretations.

This one has managed to pass me by completely.

Watched the trailer on YouTube. Put me in the same 'zoned' frame of mind that Merak always does. Want!

It is cows mooing in a field music! I want Adult Oriented Rock!

And on Sanxion (about the prokofiev title screen music)

It is lovers fucking in a field music! I want Adult Oriented Rock!

And his take on AOR was Sam Fox, I kid you not

Very fantastic film. I can enjoy it sober. I can enjoy it even more with some chemical assistance.

Also see: Baraka

Same director.

No... the director of Baraka was the cinematographer on Koyaanisatsi.
And, for the record, I've never really got on with Baraka but I <3 Koyaanisqatsi and Powaqqatsi

I'm a teacher and tried to show Powaqaatsi to my Y9 geographers - sadly most of them didn't connect with it. We've just been doing a unit on Development and Brazil. Thought they'd appreciate the opening 10 mins or so depicting the struggles of the Brazilian miners - but no!!!

Just discovered on a recent field trip that Y10's and red bull are a very bad combination......

That's because you forgot the Vodka for the Red Bull

This really didn't grab me personally as a film *meh*

Naqoyqatsi is on BBC2 at 3.30am tomorrow morning, if you're still up.

my contender for the worst sentence in the english language:

"later than advertised because of the golf"

(was a full 45 minutes late starting so i didn't get the last 45 minutes on the tivo. grrr)

[Firefox]

Yeah, I was pissed off by that as well. Fucking BBC: great programmes, shit TV station.
