"I was first irritated and then angry that I'd been taken in by this crazy composer who obviously doted on repetition. I thought of leaving. Then, with no conscious awareness, I crossed a threshold and found that the music was touching me, carrying me with it."
A common psychological phenomenon amongst hostages.
I *love* Koyaanisqatsi. I saw it in theaters, and got a copy on VHS (yes, I'm that old) when I could. Amusingly enough, I found that Koyaanisqatsi was quite effective with the ladies; every time I got someone home to watch....
DON’T buy the film from Apple. The scum replaced the wonderful demolition of blocks of inhuman ‘projects’ buildings at the end of the film with close-up shots of computer circuit boards - without saying that they’d castrated or bowdlerized the film. These elitist scum can’t have the Great Unwashed getting any fancy ideas…

I've listened to the album a million times. I'll have to watch, at long last. Many thanks!
The first half of the movie is quite slow. But the payoff at the end is worth it.

WAAAT? Those BASTARDS!
No shit. Never bought another film from them after that. I detest the “nudging” these scum get away with.
"That was a lot of minimalism."
Haha. Great line : )
