Foreign films are refreshingly different from Hollywood productions, Kontroll is just such a film. If I had not spent the last summer traveling through Europe via train, I may not have enjoyed this film as much as I did. We jumped on a lot of trains and subways without tickets… we never got chased by the Kontroll though…

My Revolution
“Revolution is a serious thing, the most serious thing about a revolutionary’s life. When one commits oneself to the struggle, it must be for a lifetime.”
Angela Davis (Black Panthers)
My life has been a violent revolution from the very beginning.

There are moments when all anxiety and stated toil are becalmed in the infinite leisure and repose of nature.

I had the good fortune of watching two great movies this past week at the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor. Visual Futurist and Blade Runner the directors cut.
Anyone who has seen Blade Runner knows it sets the standard for futuristic sci-fi noir. I didn’t realize that the genius behind the look of most every sci-fi movie I appreciate (Blade Runner, Tron, Aliens…) was the son of a preacher man from Detroit, Syd Mead.
He likes to draw… he’s good at it… and he knows it…
I was struck by his humility in light of his accomplishments, he still just draws… because he likes to. He likes a challenge. He wants his art to be approachable by people. It’s certainly creative, but it never intends to escape humanity.
Syd Mead’s work reminds you of something you have never seen before.
What an amazing gift to be able to give to people.
Read more to see a youtube preview of the documentary about his life.
