I notice that Blood: The Last Vampire, is due for a live-action release this spring, I’m not sure there’s a point in translating/remaking such an innovative anime into yet another CGI movie with actors, but maybe it will turn out good.
Recently watched
Koyaanisqatsi, and
Powaqqatsi as I was feeling ill for a few days and felt like something ambient to flake out to, haven’t watched this double DVD since I bought it, but have seen both movies as a double bill in the cinema back in the early 90’s.
I thought that the images were still quite compulsive, and the music of course, though I don’t know if its just cause I was feeling low and wanted to get better but at the end of
Koyaanisqatsi I’d always previously interpreted the scene with the space vehicle falling to earth as the directors comment/warning on us ‘over ambitious apes’ throwing our spears up into the sky only to have them fall pathetically back to the ground as we over-reach ourselves and fail disastrously in our technological progress. But this time around when I watched this I thought, nah, enough of this doom and gloom, it’s the God Thor chucking his Hammer down at us and saying: “here humankind, built your Utopia with this”…
or maybe I was just delirious from the flu after all
