Posted by CowboyNeal on from the philip-glass-and-yo-yo-ma dept.

Karl_Hungus writes "Koyaanisqatsi and Powaqqatsi, the first two installments of Reggio and Glass' trilogy are to be joined by Naqoyqatsi, due out next month. Naqoy.com has some stills, and some fascinating Flash. A brief discussion of the technical side includes the figure of 3.5 terabytes of images collected in the making of the film."

    I always wanted a D26 to generate random names.

  3. Shhh... don't tell the editors by mosch · · Score: 5, Funny
    Don't tell the editors but the qatsi trilogy isn't a sci-fi series, nor does it have anything to do with anime. Clearly they don't realize that Koyaanisqatsi is a gorgeous artsy movie about the balance of life in nature and society, best enjoyed with illicit substances running through your veins. Or that Powaqatsi explores the effect of modernization on third world nations, and it's not neccessarily all tea and roses.

    That being said, it's not traditional geek material, but it's fascinating and wonderful

    > Is anyone else very confused?

    Yeah, probably the FBI agents assigned to monitor Slashdot. I can see them frantically flipping through their printous of the Jargon File even as we speak.

  7. A rather bizzare imdb user comment by c.emmertfoster · · Score: 2, Funny

    "A great movie. It was incredibly brought about with the scenic views and such an interesting plot. It was a long 87 minutes. It was very waffling and it got me standing up in my seats. I am a very heavy man and I love to watch movies. Of the many movies I've seen this ranks among the top ten. A wonderful story, rent it and enjoy."

    Apparently this film is very waffling, especially among very heavy men who like to watch movies.

  8. Bizarre Netflix behavior by HP+LoveJet · · Score: 2, Funny

    I was just over at Netflix last month, to see whether they had Koyaanisqatsi for rent. Their little recommendation thing said:

    "If you like Koyaanisqatsi, we think you may also enjoy: LA Lakers: NBA Finals 2000."

    (When I told my girlfriend this story, expecting a perfunctory chuckle, she said "Wow, they have the 2000 Lakers DVD? Dude! I'm totally renting that!")

    Can any Reggio/Shaq fans enlighten me as to a possible connection?
