It’s supposed to be pretty good so I might as well save it, ta wookie.

I like the bit where they drive the cars down the steps in Rome.

I believe this was the first movie I ever saw on DVD.

I can honestly say I’ve never watched a movie on DVD and I’ve never sent a text message.

You’re old man. Really old!

I’ve watched plenty of movies on DVD but I, too, have never sent a text message.

I went to the alternative cinema here in Cairns in about ’94 or ’95 to see it..

I love it :D

The cinema doesn’t exist any longer, such a shame I saw some brilliant movies there.

You know you can get movies straight from the computer to the TV now, right?

many realities

I have nothing to do tomorrow, I might watch it.

Well I never!!

How far have we com,. it was only a bit over 200 years ago the Jimmy Cook was sailing his ship past Moreton Island with no electricity whatsoever, just oil lamps and coal/wood stoves, but they were happy, people of the future will be laughing at us one day.

I need to add an e to com and delete an e from the and replace it with at, I think that’s all.

I saw Baraka many times (mostly because I was exhibiting it), and was left unimpressed. The director, Ron Fricke, was cinematographer on both Koyaanisqatsi and Powaqqatsi, and much of the footage in Baraka appears to have come from these films (although Fricke has stated that he had special cameras built specifically for Baraka.) The themes explored in Baraka were also explored in the earlier films, and IMHO were done better in those films, too. Compared to the -atsi films, Baraka looks (to me) like a _National Geographic_-like photo montage.

viewed within its own context baraka isn’t a bad watch

the narrative is non verbal

western audiences are used to being given an opinion on what they are watching to understand it
