Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from January 12, 2017 Favoriting

Flash Strap's avatar View Flash Strap's profile Favoriting

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

I liked Stranger Things. I'm from the same area as the Duffy Brothers, and grew up right near a mysterious gov. facility (with all this myth/urban legend stuff built up around it), which they drew on for the show. so that made it relevant to my boyhood

@G: it did have some semblance of an actual revolutionary effort, sans magic noblemen Jedi, which plugs into the zeitgeist of this foul time and grants it a kind of relevance. Also it's just a better flick than Force Awakens, not that that says much

There are worse mass phenoms than StarWars. I was a SciFi magazine nerd before the 1st came out - & was ready for an amalgamation of Tolkien & '2001'. It's got the Force & Joe Campbell Hero stuff - but it also turned out a prototype of the Blockbusters - all sensationalism & no story. Meh. Potential squandered. Japanese Anime - that rawks!...
...Now FMU - this astounds w/ range & quality. I mean - really. A Thursday off work - engaged & informed for hours on end - & it's just one day. Gary last night sharing his Thai adventures. Tonight the Caribbean...
Avatar ♥ 8:30pm
hyde:

@Flash it's not the Disney thing, really. I should explain.

i saw the first one when it came out, when i was 14. i liked it ok, but wasn't crazy about it. i knew enough about old movies that i saw where it was coming from, but didn't connect with it. not that it was a ripoff--i mean, Once Upon a Time in the West does that kind of history riffing, and i love it.

by the time Empire dropped, i was a 17-18 year old punk rocker, and so i just never connected with it. since i've seen it plenty and it's clearly the best Star Wars movie. but i just never managed to get on board the train during my formative years. so subsequently, when i saw the last of the original trilogy and then the next three, i really just couldn't get it. becasue well, the second trilogy is bad.

i did see the force awakens, and enjoyed it. it's an entertaining, well made movie and yet...to me, there is just a lot of fan service that is about things that i don't really care about because i have never connected so much with the originals. i don't begrudge anyne who is a fan the things that make them excited about it, but that is just not me.

and that is my star wars story. i will see rogue one, since i like Gareth Edwards as a director. and i'll see whatever the next real one is called, since i like Rian Johnson as a director. And i suspect they'll be fine. But i suspect still at arm's length....
Avatar 8:32pm

@rev:It really is a death knell for New hollywood. And mark me down as a Campbell skeptic in a big way. But it's also a tremendous act of pastiche, and I really love those first flicks despite all

Just wanna backtrack and say if anyone has any concrete info about that tremendous Fidel Castro / Belita Palma track, I'd be very curious to know

Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

It's got some stuff. 'I'm not afraid Yoda!' '...You will be.' He managed to get some Zen into dull-normals' heads. Just...well I think we're on the same page. I'm much like Hyde here - it came too late. I had Tolkien & the real SciFi - & it wasn't enuff. It's curious what one becomes a fanboy of or does not...Miyazaki - now that has the Awe for me...the anime Akira - gnarly visuals *&* ideas...let the Japanese do Star Wars - they could rock it...

I once enjoyed some heavy petting with my high school sweetheart in the back of her '73 Lincoln Continental while waiting on an early morning gas line during the 1980 oil crisis. We each had volunteered separately to our parents to drive over to the local gas station and wait on line until it opened. We parked in line back to back and then "waited" in her vehicle. Possibly the smartest tricky thing I've ever done.

melinda,is it on a streaming service?

"Days of Heaven" is a great silent film. Loose the soundtrack with it's awful narration and it's a magnificent movie. But then, I like silent movies.

Sex and Broadcasting is on amazon, and I think maybe Netflix too. I haven't seen Days of Heaven in a while but I remember finding the Linda Manz character and her narration interesting (I think it was her). Mostly it was the cinematography.

Oh wow "Black Power" is just great. There's a bit of the Chambers Brothers' "Time Has Come Today" to it
