I ordered a delivery box of locally grown vegetables which looks very nice. Unfortunately it consists almost entirely of things I'm supposed to be reducing consumption of. Oh boo

fantastic planet

David Lynchs Inland Empire (apparently it is about the buddhist quest for self although I wasn't able to make it make sense to me)

I thought Cyranno de Begerac and Don Quixote brought up some interesting philosophical questions

The Man Who Would Be King (perhaps not philosphical in the way you meant it, but I think everyone sho0ulde watch it even so)

Fantastic planet, I like it alot! Inland Empire, thanks I have added it to my list!

Matrix films

How about them Matrix movies?

Re: Matrix films

th efirst film I think is important for injecting gnosticism into pop culture. The sequels are a bit unnecessary but I have acquired a different version- "Matrix Dezionised", which is 2 & 3 edited into one shorter film with all the shit bits taken out. and it ain't half bad!

Pan's Labyrinth - though I'd be surprised if you haven't seen it already. It's not funky, though it makes up for this by being extremely disturbing.

Big Fish - Stuffed full to the gills with mythical symbology. It's a Tim Burton film, so expect warped weirdness.

[explodi]

Yep, seen both. Both are good!

[sepheri]

I didn't know before but Big Fish was written by the same guy who wrote Pleasantville. No where near as good imo though.

Excalibur and The Emerald Forest by John Boorman.

Ah yes!

Noooo probs. Today's solution is Creamy Parsnip and Carrot soup with a generous helping of yoghurt. And it smelly pretty damn tasty.

Heh...I feel like an idiot for writing so much. :) I think you will generally anticipate my occult advice/ramblings. Also, I thought of a film: The Holy Mountain (Jodorowsky), but you've prolly seen it.

Oh yes! It's one of those "just as you thought it couldn't get any weirder..." films. I like those. Still can't suss if he's really saying anything in his bizarro planetary summaries.
