DJ Food recently shared the trippy 2001 poster designed by Raid71. Definitely a trip.



Continuing my tour of the 80s tonight I watched Raiders of the Lost Ark for the first time. My first adventure film as well. I think I'll check out the rest of the franchise.

Re: 2001

Spoiler for Spoiler:
Kubrick designed the black monolith based on the aspect ratio of the widescreens in theaters back when it was release - but rotated 90 degrees. At the beginning of the movie (and during the midway intermission) the movie screen is completely black while sublime music plays. Exactly the same as how the monolith's in the movie 'sings' to the apes and astronauts.


So beyond sublime and brilliant.

Americans are weird. Either you go all out or you don't bother. Whenever I used to tell people I do acid (when I did back in the day) they looked at me weird, because it's assumed you do it to trip balls. Maybe not such a known fact is that you don't have to take the whole thing and flip the fuck out, you can take 1/3 or half (if it's weak) and just have a really nice, mellow, pot like experience (but without all the psychological warfare), with slightly enhanced colours and yes the giggles, that lasts for 4-5 hours.

I saw several movies on acid in the theater and it was a great experience.

So definitely recommend you take a smaller amount and trip on the visuals...

Or not, just don't take anything and trip on the visuals on an IMAX screen, it's very rare to get an opportunity like that, I'm jealous...

Microdosing is a cool life experiment over the course of 3-14 days but if you're going to trip once, trip hard.

Sincerely,

Yeah I was gonna say I don't think 2001 requires acid since it's pretty much already an acid trip. I'd take heroin though.

"Upgrade". It was actually pretty good for a low-budget film. The fighting styles remind one alot of the "Matrix" but on the whole, a good story and decent acting.

Premise "Set in the near-future, technology controls nearly all aspects of life. But when Grey, a self-identified technophobe, has his world turned upside down, his only hope for revenge is an experimental computer chip implant called Stem."

The Serpent's Kiss


Didn't expect much from this one to be honest. Turned out to be a really good movie. Ewan McGregor plays a young garden architecht who has been hired by a landlord to make a garden he will be remembered for after his passing.

Of course, it turns out there are some ulterior motives...

The film plays very differently from what you might expect, with one of the key characters being the mentally disturbed daughter of the landlord and themes focusing a lot on the opposition between the desire of man to create order and uncontrollable, wild Mother Nature.

The movie surprised me big time. It's sharp, poetic and just as entertaining as it is interesting.

9/10

A Most Violent Year

All of the lead roles were serviceable but some of the smaller roles were great, especially Julian and some of the older mobsters. I liked how this film unfolded the motives behind everyone's actions by shrouding them at first. I thought the climax of the film was great but the last few minutes were so on the nose that I wish they had left those plot points open ended instead.

Stalker 1979



I just watched Stalker, a foreign film from the Soviet Union, its considered one of the greatest films ever made. The film is futuristic and the story is about this area called "The Zone" where in the zone is located "The Room" where when you are inside the room all of your greatest desires come true. However the Zone is totally illegal to enter and people are imprisoned for trying to enter. Also The Zone is alive and can mess around with your head and it is dangerous to be inside for long.

It is in subtitles but you don't even really need to read anything for about 40 minutes or so. This film is very visually exceptional, you could literally take any frame from this film and hang it on the wall like a piece of art. The first 45 minutes or so are excellent. There are a lot of social commentaries about the Soviet Union and society in the film and to this day apparently many people argue over the messages. Three men go on a journey and try to reach the zone to enter the room, a professor a writer and a stalker (someone who has navigated the zone before who was imprisoned.)

Spoilers



A good movie, but once they reach the "Zone" it totally slows down, in my opinion becomes almost excruciatingly slow paced and drawn out. I appreciate the cinematography and ideas presented but it feels like a 3 hour movie that could be an hour and a half. They literally just kind of walk around in circles in the forest while philosophizing.

overall there were some really good parts, and very interesting things to think about, but don't put this movie on late at night, I had a hard time trying to stay awake, and I do enjoy foreign and black and white films, but this one's pace just started killing me half way through.

Definitely worth a check out though, and based on the fact that its considered an all time great film.
