On the subject of movies...

Watching Man With The Movie Camera I was reminded of a movie I have heard about but never seen called Koyaanisqatsi. I still haven't taken the time to watch it (I intend to, though), but using the Wikipedia entry for the movie as a guide, it looks like it may use some of the same techniques as Man With The Movie Camera. Unlike Man With The Movie Camera, however, instead of being used to extol the advantages of technology and inspire hope for the future, Koyaanisqatsi is intended to show not that technology is good or bad, but that it is ubiquitous to our society. I have heard from many people that Koyaanisqatsi is an amazing movie. I really need to find time to watch both movies.
