Closet Land Another Shyamalanesque crap. Watched it as it was supposed to be disturbing, but it was unspeakably stupid. Fingered Richard Kern's blue movie with Lydia Lunch. Hilariously horrible!

Re numbers and the archeologist: I also noticed a mention of Wronski in the first chapter which is interesting. He is one of those crazy polymath figures who had a very unconventional use for mathemathics. In Difference and Repetition, Deleuze mentions him as one of the founders of differential...

These links might be helpful too: Popular Numeracy Democratic numeracy If I remember right, there was also an article in Collapse I.

I guess I was also waiting to see what other people say about the book. I haven't finished it yet. I'm a few pages into the war section. I'm not sure if it falls in the second category. I don't claim that I understand everything in Cyclonopedia but there are things which I can get and...

That's the city of Cthulhu in H.P. Lovecraft's mythos. In Zulawski's movie when the survivor of the expedition returned, he described flying monsters and a city with huge buildings. Evil winged creatures, the monstrous settlement and the other side of the sea are very similar to Lovecraftian...

Which one? That's a rather famous Romanian arthouse historical movie on Vlad the Impaler, quite disturbing but beautifully made. It is one of the few sick movies which have given me a headache! I think Szamanka was a great concept but they were some flaws in the direction. Basically, the...

Well, I had braced myself for the worst so it's wasn't that frustrating ;) I think the movie could be too maximalist or predictably epical if it had survived in one piece. The cuts could be performed better but still they gave the movie some sort of exciting time warp. I agree with you about the...

I recently saw Zulawski's On the Silver Globe, which was great. I found the performances, dialogues and settings bizarrely similar to Kozintsev's Hamlet and King Lear.

This is a hard-to-find Euro-artsy movie, creepy and highly recommended. Les Années lumière aka Light Years Away

I got my copy and have been reading :) I’m on the fourth chapter (?) Relic. I am familiar with Reza’s works from Collapse and hyperstition and I’ve been going with the flow I guess and am finding the chapters are becoming easier to follow (no numbers stuff after the first chapter and chapters...

Is it Cyclonopedia you are going to read? If so, I'd like to join as well.

When I first encountered Reza I thought he was female, but now know he is male. The facebook Reza is not the writer Reza Negarestani plus the person in the photo is too business-like!!! I googled Cyclonopedia and saw China Mieville mentioned in an interview that Cyclonopedia was his choice for...
