[MUX]

wow

i meant to say that the other way round!

[invisibleplanet]

thanks for posting that article, btw ²MUX
i enjoyed reading that

[V Knid esq]

...or maybe not. I know he did some designs for the Judge Dredd film, and I think he used to be an artist on 2000AD, but now I'm confused.

He did build this:

it was 'chris halls' in 2000ad, got a bit mixed up there

[invisibleplanet]

u r thinking of Chris Halls aka Chris Cunningham (music video director)

[MUX]

it's the same guy.. ditto..

[V Knid esq]

Yes, Chris Hall... Gahh - I was told by a complete comix geek it was Critchlow. Ah well, live and learn.

[MUX]

that was getting a bit confusing , im happy it's over with !!
that warp dvd he mentions sounds like great idea.. i also bought the Granzgraf Autechre DVD and was real happy with his re-edit of the autechre track... becuase as he said.. id didnt work much b4.. but now it's all in synch with the video and it looks amazing in a lo-fi kinda way

he certainly a hidden genuis

things that grabbed my short-attention-span-eye particualrly.
Tarkovsky's "Stalker" - what a movie!
also 2000AD used to be my bible as a nipper, still got most of them from 87-93 in my dads loft.

[amble]

yeh 'stalker' is brilliant. really makes you think about some things. did you see it in a syncronized version?

i once heard cunningham was asked to design the robots for 'A.I.' but Kubrick didn't like what he made so he used it for that bjoerk-vid. and stupid me always thought they look cool.;)

What about this Neuromancer-Thing? I hope they really make this movie :> Cunningham would be just perfect for it.

[Loz]

a Neuromancer film would have rocked about 15 years ago, back when special effects with computers was first coming in..

but now so many hollywood films have ripped it off in many different ways, I really think that there would be a distinct feeling of "seen it all before" going on.

Shame really, but I'd rather there wasn't a film at all than a film that would ruin my impressions of the story.

[wheezer]

I dunno Loz, I would love to see a Cunningham interpretation of Neuromancer - effects are just one part of the picture after all...

Imho Cunningham is able to use special effects in the way make-up should be used: you don't really notice it's there but it makes everything better...

[Loz]

I'm not just talking about the effects, but hollywood's ripped off the story over a dozen times.

[wheezer]

ok, in that case, counterquestion:

which stories has hollywood NOT ripped off x times?

...

the book which has been written by gibson is fantastic.
