then you definitely definitely owe it to yourself to check out the many films of the brothers quay.

ps without having read this, or knowing anything about it, my wife picked out young frankenstein out of the handful of movies we have at hand to rewatch (there was no netflix delivery today). hilarious. well it's about to start now...

Following on from the Quay Bros idea, some of Jan Svankmajer's animations would be great too.

And maybe I'm getting ahead of myself here but if you really want to blow some minds, the Poet in the Prince's Court sequence from Paradjanov's Colour of Pomegranates.

Fucking hell, you play in front of that I might have to jump on a plane and come to the gig!

And has anyone mentioned Tarkovsky yet?

It'd be great if you could somehow upload some of those montages. Would genuinely love to see them.

Were y'all planning to take this to the movie thread or...

It crossed my mind.

oh, hell, if we'll blow the gates open then i'm ready to play

FANTASTIC PLANET



+

8 1/2

Fantastic Planet. YESSS

8 1/2 would be fantastic too, but is Antagon into playing such long sets?

i thought so since he asked for 2 movies (2 full movies)

ps i have to go to sleep now but i thought 2001 would work magnificently without a need for subtitles as it is almost a silent movie/giant music video anyway



or

zabriskie point

maybe even the ending of blow-up, too, you could play on an infinite loop

so im having a terrible time in that i found out the guy i'm into... was apparently a huge man whore before me. which is cool. he's hot and i'm glad he was rolling in pussy. but i'm sort of upset that at the time he was in this phase, i was obviously emotionally available and he didn't take control of it. but seems to me into me. which makes me kind of mad but also, grateful? i dunno how to take this without going into further detail at risk of really identifying us all, which is whatever for me but for him, i understand. i don't know how to feel.

almost done with this

any notes are appreciated

I should bookmark this page. Thanks, guys! Yes, I'm spinning eight hours straight. I've seen 8 1/2 some years ago during my Fellini-phase, should give it a re-watch. I guess the ending would be great for the montage. 2001 sure is one big visual feast. demonrail: These blocks can be quite lengthy but if you want I can try to figure out a user-friendly way to upload them somewhere.

Well, you gotta ask yourself if you are happy right now. If he's into you and you are content with that - take it for what it is for now. But if doubts are plaguing you, your mind is probably trying to tell you something. I've lost two friends last year because I couldn't handle their behavior anymore. I'm not saying the same thing applies to your situation. All I'm saying is that being either friends or romantically involved with people that have said character trait has the potencial to hit a few marks that are a bit too close for comfort.

holy shit i just realized what could be perfect with all you want--- JEAN COCTEAU!!!!!!!!!

beauty and the beast



blood of a poet



orpheus



the testament of orpheus

need to add a post cuz the # of images

to me the last one is the one with the most haunting images

also, for funny shorts, look at jodorowski's "la cravate" -- perfect for djing because it's mimed

I suppose the thing is to try and avoid clips or films the audience will have most likely seen already, for fear of it looking a bit cliched. 2001 looks great but if I saw a band playing in front of it I'd think it was a bit obvious. The nicest thing would be for an audience member or two to come up to you after the show and ask you what the clip or film was (after complimenting you on the music, obviously).

Cool if you could find a way of uploading one of those blocks but understand how hard it could be, so no problem if it's too difficult.

God yeah, Cocteau would be perfect!
