Watched it! It was good! A little slow here or there by today’s standards, but I was really sold by the ending. I’m a sucker for conversion stories, I liked that the thugs came round. And I liked the twist on how they send the demon back: one voice, one heart, one song: not one exists. Clever. Thanks for the recommendation. I love interesting film, especially animation.

Now, the important question is: have you seen Interstella 5555!? Cause if you haven’t, you’ve got to see it. Surprisingly similar plot. I even wondered if Daft Punk picked up some themes from R&R. If you haven’t seen Interstella, I can send you the file if you want and can’t find it online.

Ah, fantastic! Yeah, it’s hard to find anyone with the kind of attention span we had 40 years ago. The first time I saw that movie was after my parents got our first VCR, which was probably around 1986. One of my friends gave me a bootleg copy of the tape. He used to get things from his older brother and I have no idea how they found these things. Pretty sure he also introduced me to Akira.

I have not seen Interstella 5555 yet, but it looks like I can stream it from DailyMotion (unless you have a better link), so I’ll put it on my weekend agenda!

Thanks for the sats! I’m SO excited that you have’t seen Interstella. ENJOY! Grew up on Akira. Saw it when I was 12 or 13, like a door opened. Had a love for animation ever since. Give me a holler after you watch Interstella, I’d love to hear YOUR thoughts. If you like Daft Punk/House/EDM/electronica it’s a sure win.

Attention spans are an interesting thing. Quiet contemplation is my M.O., I love analyzing movies (used to dream of writing/directing), and today so much is lost cause people pander to short attentions. Those long shots (well done) can be so nice. Good art value stirs the Soul from slumber.
