The futility of life

That's what I'm thinking about right now. Like, is this all it is? Just do the same shit forever and then you die? That's the depressive view. I get a nice mix of both with bipolar disorder. The documentary sparkles, but that spontaneity and freedom feels like it's very unlikely to be repeatable. To be fair, a lot of the really cool activism footage is from Gary and Dakta's and Arik's library of clips, but it's amazing how the team took simple things like Dak Headroom, and made those into neat little movies. - Is it really a beer if it's 99% carb free and 99% sugar free? - I find reincarnation somewhat comforting, even though it's impossible to prove, and it's one of my pet peeves about religions. How does the soul leave the body? How could you know that it had been done correctly if the soul is also invisible? If I had to choose an afterlife that seems plausible, I'd choose What Dreams May Come. The book, not the movie. I'm an athiest down to my bones, though, so ultimately I'm fairly sure that there isn't an afterlife.

I hope that my movie orgy impressed the originators of The Movie Orgy. For people that know Joe Dante as the director of Gremlins, I bet it was quite a surprise ... I'm rewatching Frisky Dingo right now, and it strikes me that Sealab 2021 is very much in the same vein as The Movie Orgy. There's been revival screenings in the States, but I don't think it's ever come to NZ. People would totally watch The Movie Orgy on the internet if it was available.
