    Twees're Good (except they're not)

    what strikes me the most is how well printed everything is, the money and effort they seem to have invested is staggering. where do they get the money for this stuff? why can't i pay my rent? why are they so keen on military intervention? and why this man and not one of the countless warlords in...

    documentary films

    probably not relevant to dissensus, what with being in spanish and relating to chile, but this is a short piece about youth of different social backgrounds on the coast in 1984, ten years into the dictatorship and six from the return to democracy. not a documentary that will change your life or...

    The Eurocult Film Thread

    le orme is great, far more obscure than it deserves to be and sadly battered as well. this is a case where the source material for the transfer is not in the best of shape (and actually patched together from more than one source) and yet it could not be more stunning visually, any frame can be...

    Photograph pricing

    my (now ex) girlfriend was in a similar position, she was asked for two photos for the cover of a book on a small dutch imprint. it was suggested to me that 200-250 euros for both was reasonable given the size of the publisher, and that would allow them to use the photos on any medium with the...

    Name this tune for me...

    your friend is a rank sadist, if you ask me! i would seduce his girlfriend, have sex with her in his flat, gain access to his record collection and write down the name of the wretched thing, then i would contact the artist independently and obtain something even more obscure with which to tease...

    ha, glad you liked it. it is excessive, but when you think of the scale of the enterprise, what today would be computer graphics and acting in front of screens and stuff like that, it's a mind-boggling human (creative) effort, even if a flawed one.

    Scuba's Personality = Sasha's Expander.

    i'm not up to date on all this stuff, but i loved spectr's red hot, which is you, apparently. so thank you for that fine bit of music, mr. scuba.

    Name this tune for me...

    could it be something really obvious like bernard fevre? channeling l'esprit de jean charpentier.. stranger things have happened.

    Red Trick

    i read the sample chapter and have to say it looks promising. the main character is reasonably well outlined, there is a sense of who he is and a good balance between internal dialogue and the external world. what felt contrived was the signing to the label near the end and the dialogue of his...

    Where have the UFOs gone?

    good stuff, nochexxx. my favourite video is this old one filmed by miners in atacama. it's a nokia-quality 3gp video, the video is awful but the dialogue very convincing. there is also the detail that there are seldom if ever clouds there, it's very dry and as clear a sky as you can imagine...

    Scary movie thread

    i would add masaki kobayashi's kwaidan to the list. these are ghost stories, not horror, but unsettling and eerie. the use of music (an electronic-tinged score by takemitsu) and silence to convey mood/tension is perfect. it's an incredibly beautiful film, well worth seeking out.

    Guitarry shit please

    oh yeah, i do. the guy who did the reissue had a record shop in santiago (background) and liked to mention them and the fact that he produced the first sun dial record, very colourful character.

    i've since found a longer (by one hour) version of virus. according to youtube comments (which i take at gospel) this was one of the highest-grossing japanese films ever and bombed in the states. enjoy!

    ok, these look like fun (not my descriptions): virus, 1980 A plane carrying biological warfare crashes, causing a deadly virus to be released, killing off most of the world's population. A handful of surviving scientists are in a hurry to find a cure. Will they succeed? embryo, 1976 A...

    'erotic' cinema?

    cool. i think i saw the one with marker, i don't remember much about it to be honest. on the subject of erotic cinema, houellebecq did a short (i forget the name) where only women are left on earth, it's exciting in a twisted way.
