On my way back. Give it a few weeks. In the meantime, here’s one of the most arresting segments from Richard Kelly’s ambitiously uneven, much-maligned and little-seen Southland Tales. Those of the rabbit hole persuasion and well-read arch-ironists alike should appreciate the movie immensely, what with its multiple layers of symbolism and the use of the Eye-in-the-Pyramid as symbol of [...]

This stream of consciousness conspiracy poetics is nothing but spoiler, so if you haven’t seen the movie a million times (or even once), you read the rest at your own peril.
One more thing: whether you choose to believe what follows is entirely up to you.

In Donnie Darko, Donnie plays our resident Christ. His story [...]
WR: Mysteries of the Organism, A Dated But Not Outdated Satire of The Times
Posted in Wilhelm Reich, movies, psychology on September 8, 2007 | 1 Comment »
After many years of looking for a copy in various movie rental spots, I finally had success in finding and seeing Yugoslavian director Dusan Makavejev’s 1971 film WR: Mysteries of the Organism. WR begins as a straight-forward documentary on Wilhelm Reich whose theories on the negative public health and societal repercussions of sexual repression and [...]

Standing on the subway at two a.m., I see two movie posters side by side and I begin to sense the unsettling nature of the current zeitgeist. Call them Signs and Signifiers of the Spectacular Times.
I first saw the poster for this movie:
And to it’s right, I saw the poster for this one:

There’s a very intriguing interview with director Alejandro Jodorowsky at the Fortean Times website that I recommend checking out. In addition to being an acclaimed international director, Jodorowsky reads Tarot cards, performs something the article describes as “Psychomagikal Healings” and studied with the very ambiguous and shadowy (to me, anyway) mystic Oscar Ichazo, founder of [...]

I’ve been taking an unofficial vacation from posting, but figured I’d break some of the site silence to continue my 10 Ways Experiment. To briefly refresh anyone’s memory out there or to initiate them into this little exercise, I’ll summarize it. Basically, I take things in my every day environment–events, overheard snippets of [...]

Now for the Postscript
Want to really break open the head to allow greater perception? Want to play with the paranoia (parallel knowing) that is the method of the path of the Lucid View?
Welcome to James Shelby Downard Tunnel-Land.
I doubt anything I write can match what Downard did with a single essay—I simply [...]

After writing about the demise of Anna Nicole Smith and what I saw as an enactment of distorted goddess worship and pop-culture ritual sacrifice, and then connecting the dots when Britney shaved her head and underwent the media-balyhooed temporary insanity a week later, my site received a referral from another I’d not heard of [...]
Forgive Them For They Know Not What They (Hoo) Do?

Just watched the movie Jesus Camp for the first time recently.
During the first half of the documentary, there’s a scene where Pastor Becky Fischer angrily proclaims that “Harry Potter is a Warlock!” and that in Old Testament times he would have been killed. Presumably, the practice of magick is of Old Scratch and not [...]
