David Kirkpatrick (Free subscription) | 12/18/2008

I watched this classic movie from 1973 last night. It’s worth the watching for sure. Odd, interesting and Fellini-esque are three good adjectives to go with. Some of the IMDB reviews get a little over-wrought with spiritual symbolism, but the overall message is brilliant. I won’t spoil anything, so get out there and find a copy. It’s [...]

Technoccult (Free subscription) | 08/26/2008

So it was with great excitement that I read the recent translation of Jodorowsky’s spiritual autobiography, entitled—hold onto your hats—The Spiritual Journey of Alejandro Jodorowsky.
