I watched 3 animated movies this weekend, all of which I would recommend (in order of how much I liked them):

1. Interstella 5555 - The psychedelic storyline of intergalactic redemption more than makes up for the dated Daft Punk music and animation style.
2. Paprika - Inception-inspiring dream-hacking weirdness with creative animation on full throttle. [Potential spoiler warning ->] I didn't like who the antagonist turned out to be in the end (or, rather, that there was an antagonist character), but the deep ideas in the movie were still very appreciable.
3. Howl's Moving Castle - To be honest, I watched this entire movie on mute while listening to music. While my eyes were glued to the screen the entire time, I thought the plot could've been less convoluted. Then again, having it muted might have made it hard to catch certain plots points. Embarrased Now I have a reason to watch it again! Pleased

Side note: I watched Interstella 5555 while coming up on acid, so those strong effects might have biased my favor more toward this movie than the other two.
Every day I am thankful that I was introduced to psychedelic drugs.

The strangest movie i have ever seen, ERASERHEAD now one of my all-time favorites.

Another new alltime favorite APOCALYPTO just AWESOME about pre-columbian tribes.
Many plant references. Possibly wild psychotria viridis growing in some of the scenes.

I have had a bit of a mental block in relation to modern fiction which has resulted in me going back to the old school. A classic. Alec Guiness showboats in an 8 role marathon (and he is good) but Dennis Price"s performence hits the ball out of the park! The trailer is shit in comparison to the finished product.

I just saw Ant-Man tonight and while I don't want to spoil anything, the movie is obviously about the guy getting really small, and at one point he "goes subatomic" and they have a series of evocative shots that are very similar to the DMT-esque ones from Interstellar, Contact, 2001, etc. He enters some quantum realms or something which is the apparent cause of these things appearing.

If you've seen it, tell me if you concur or not. I immediately recognized some of the morphing landscapes and sounds that were shown in the movie.

Now since these types scenes appear in so many popular films, we have to ask ourselves, is there a reason these are being shown to audiences? Are they just artistic inclusions? Frameworks/archetypes of what humans generally consider wacky and out-of-this-world experiences? Total coincidence? What's going on here?

Damn it...Now I have to watch this movie just to see that part.

That is a lovely video of a highly saturated solution, where blowing over it lowers the temperature enough to over-saturate the solution to form clouds.

Great film - a MUST see.
Partly shot here in Montreal.

JBArk

JBArk is a Mandelthought; a non-fiction character in a drama of his own design he calls "LIFE" who partakes in consciousness expanding activities and substances; he should in no way be confused with SWIM, who is an eminently data-mineable and prolific character who has somehow convinced himself the target he wears on his forehead is actually a shield.

Trippy films:
* Reality - A strange but fun story from the director of Rubber
* Synecdoche, New York - Mind blowing, utterly surreal. A story about the making of the most ambitious play of all time.
* Coherence - An amazing crossroad between drama and science fiction.
* Primer - The best time travel movie I've seen. I'm recommending it again because I watched it again.
* The One I Love - Seemed like a horror movie disguised as a comedy. I think it could've been more emotionally affective if the music weren't overly light-hearted. Still a very unique movie. It leaves a lot unexplained, but it is still satisfying.
* Mr. Nobody - I found it to be more convoluted and confusing than thought-provoking. It's a movie about choices that aren't made, which means it's like fiction within fiction. i.e. impossible [for me] to become emotionally invested in.

Other films:
* Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow - Movie about a Chinese man confronting his sexual identity.
* Swingers - Hilarious characters. This movie is sooo money.
* Louie - Not a movie, but a show that I'm consistently impressed by.

The Holy Mountain

This film was produced by John Lennon and Yoko Ono in 1973. The director, Alejandro Jodorowsky, from what I read, did not create this film to be a "film" in the strictest sense. The is idea was that the film was to be a Shamanic ritual, with a heavy use of symbolism, so much so that describing the film in any narrative way (though it does have a progression) is entirely useless.

I'm sure many members of Nexus are familiar with this film, but for those that are not. Check it out, it's a wild ride.

Has anyone here seen Jodorowsky's latest film, The Dance of Reality? It came out last year. Easily one of the greatest films I've ever seen. Watch it!

I've been in a bit of an MCU kick lately. Watched every movie in order in the lead up to the new avengers movie. Haven't seen ant man yet, but have been thinking about it for a while (since the age of ultron secret ending Big grin big hank pym fan ) if I had to pick a favourite I have to go with Thor 2, narrowly beating out guardians of the galaxy (only because guardians has such a huge world to introduce which can't be done perfectly in a single film... Some very DMT-esque scenes in there too. Anxiously awaiting guardian 2 though Pleased )

I'm not a big fan of SWIM. I mean, I've never met the guy, but any time I hear about him, he's doing something sketchy.

Animatrix - I was hooked in less than half a minute. It is incredibly fascinating and thought-provoking. The "Matriculated" chapter blew my mind.

Black Mirror - An amazing show about hypothetical interactions between humans and technology. Very dark. Very well-made. It's like a brilliant modern Twilight Zone.

Music is alive and in your soul. It can move you. It can carry you. It can make you cry! Make you laugh. Most importantly, it makes you feel! What is more important than that?

Attack on Titan was absolutely amazing.
A lot of people recommend Cowboy Bebop, but it didn't blow me away.

I saw Everest recently. I have to say it is the most amazing movie I have ever seen about a true story: Beautiful, inspirational, frightening, tragic.

IF you are a fan of Back To The Future (let's be honest, who isn't a fan? Very happy ) and you have Netflix, there is an amazing documentary about it with interviews from Cast/Crew/Fans/Producers etc etc. I found it to be quite fascinating! Go check it out!

It is called:

"Back In Time"
