This Cocoa Tea has Kick to It!

Some of the pinnacle members of the gay podcast community got into a heated political debate on twitter today. Not that it matters that they’re gay, I just enjoy writing “pinnacle members of the gay podcast community.”


Meanwhile, some people, like tomh, were still using twitter as God intended.

Koyaanisqatsi

May 6, 2008 at 9:16 am (movies, twitter) (, , , , , , , )

For some weird reason, that could only be explained by the mysterious pulsing of my subconscious, while chugging down $1 pbr at The Lex, a film that I saw last year popped into my head.

Koyaanisqatsi is, mostly, a collection of time lapsed images put to frenetic music. The word, coming to us from the Hopi language, means “life out of balance” or “a state of life that calls for another way of living.” The film shows us how much our world is really some kind of fucked up factory. We’re all hot dogs, dude.

As unsettling as it is, and as difficult and anxiety inducing it was to sit through, it remains one of the most profound viewing experiences of my entire life.

I twittered to see who else had seen the film and I got a couple responses:

I also got a message from Orinz about it, but he DM’d me so I’m not going to put a screen shot here, but he put forth a film called Baraka as having the same concept but expressing it better. I’ll have to check it out

My ex, Nikol Hasler, also sent word that she’d seen the film and loved it, but I suspect her love for it has less to do with the actual film than the fact that the score composer just happens to be a cousin of this guy.

In any case. Watch it. Just try drinking chamomile instead of coffee beforehand.
