Oh, the joy of 70mm...It is this (
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103767/) film I'm talking about. I watched it again last night after several years, I had the same joy. I wonder if you have watched anything like it that gave you the same effect/impact/whatever.

Christ, I saw that movie years ago in college. As I sat down in the university theater with a friend of mine I said, "This movie apparently has no plot. This could be interesting."
"Or not," he said.
His words were almost prescient.

Well not interested for the plot or the "spiritual" side of it. Simply the cinematography is excellent. And the editing. Maybe too retro for the cg age.

I'll agree that it looks fantastic.
I've probably watched it in bits and pieces about three times, because it shows up on inHD on a regular basis, and looks fantastic on my plasma. If I'm just flipping around and it's on, it usually gets me to stop and get hooked for a few minutes.
I don't think I would go out of my way for it, but it's pretty good background visuals, on the level of Sunrise Earth or nature shows on Discovery HD, if only to show off the TV.

Yeah, it's definitely absorbing in small chunks. I'd possibly even recommend it if viewed in thirty minute segments.
But in one single sitting? I'm not entirely sure how far pretty visuals take you, but I can attest that it ain't 96 minutes.

If you smoke enough pot, I'm sure it could go even farther than that. ;)

I'm just mad that I couldn't find a GIF of him doing the little scissor chop.
