Bang Back: The Pinball Movie
April 22 2009
Looks like the zippies are still around. Terrence McKenna, Ralph Metzner, ... and friends. in a film about enlightenment in the digital age: The cognition factor. Music by Steve Hillage, etc. It’s like a Mondo 2000 flashback.

Trailer for a film about a Donkey Kong contest between 2 guys who still seem to be living in the eighties. Wow.

It’s 2056 and the planet is saved. I just laughed watching this, probably not the expected reaction.

An inconvenient truth
The climate is changing radically, affecting our future, and we are the cause. This is no longer debatable: the film shows how 100% of peer-reviewed academic papers support this fact while 53% of mainstream media stories express doubt, lobbies are powerful things. Al Gore puts the scientific facts into an eloquent, entertaining and clearly understandable narrative without ever getting overtly alarmist or bleak. According to Gore, we have 10 years to turn things around. In that case, this film should be mandatory viewing, especially if you have children. Hopefully, it won't just be preaching to the converted; if you're a doubter or have a friend who is, I dare you to see this and come out unaffected. [link]

Marie-Antoinette
The first word that came to mind when exiting the theatre was “empty”. As a stylistic exercise the film would get top marks; as a story, it has no depth at all. Coppola seems to have more interest in patterns and colours than her characters. You can see where she was trying to go, but she got caught staring out of the window on her way there. [link]
