so I just wanted to say that these might be the coolest DVDs ever. the picture and sound quality is incredible. each dvd has tons of stuff on them (although the cunningham one stands out as the leanest of the bunch). each one has a really great 52 page booklet thing. and wow... they are just incredible! also the menus on the chris cunningham one are insane... almost painful. -Aaron --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Not to dismiss this (I've got the DVDs on order), but... seen FLCL? When did Amazon Super Saver shipping get so damned slow? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Is it worth getting them all, though? I was just going to order the Cunningham one by itself as the other DVD's didn't seem to be anywhere near as good; a few nice videoclips on them, but it didn't seem worth it.

You know that "MTV Music Awards" thing you guys have every year? Well us Europa heads also have one, we call it the "MTV European Music Awards". Guess who played at the end of this year's one (held in Edinburgh): Kraftwerk. (Holy Jesus!!) -skkatter ===== http://www.skkatter.net __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Recieved my order (all 3 DVD's) via Amazon today; most definitely suggest getting them all. Interestingly, the Cunningham has less than half the content of the other two DVD's (which are double sided), but all three are *definitely* worth the money; some brilliant stuff onboard, and the booklets are fantastic.

Having just attending the ResFest in Cape Town, I can highly recommend the work (and DVD) of Michel Gondry, whose retrospective was screened this year. His work is every bit as inspiring as you may wish!

yeah, there's one in Delaware (the warehouse capital of the US). It makes upper east coast shipping *really* nice :D Stuff shipped UPS ground from NYC takes under a day to get to b-more. heck, it's quick even from massachusetts, where FE is. derek -- eggytoast.com : eggtastic.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

It's about a 12 year old with a horny dad, a horny grandpa, a brother's girlfriend who macks on him, a girl in school who macks on him, a girl from outer space who macks on him, the pet robot who's a bit nutty, and a giant conspiracy to destroy the earth. It's also the ultimate meta-anime. Even the name of the show is multiple puns. For your average American viewer not "into" Japanese "culture" at all, it makes no sense for the first hour or so. But it's fucking gorgeous, and hilarious to boot, if you get even one-tenth the jokes. Me, I'm never (whatever) enough for anyone - I'm not punk rock enough, IDM enough, otaku enough. Yeah, I worship the ground Takashi Miike walks on. So I understood a large chunk of the show up front. Parts of it go by so fast you have to read the websites to figure out what's going on. But I *LOVE* FLCL. (There's even an Aphex Twin reference in episode 5, which aired last night on Cartoon Network.) The packaging for them was originally very awesome, with a nice thick book, but unless you order direct now, I understand you won't get them. I only got a book with volume 1, my friend got a book with 1 and 3, but not 2.

My shit ain't even going to ship until a week after I ordered it. I wonder if they're trying to skirt Share the Love discounts or something. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

flcl is a six-episode anime series put out by gainax (the studio behind evangelion, among other notable achievements) that's really, really weird. cartoon network has been playing dubbed episodes sporadically for the last few months, and the series was put out on dvd by (i think) adv films. sadly, there's only two episodes per disc, but it's such a great show that it doesn't really matter... flcl is kind of hard to understand if you haven't seen much anime. well, it doesn't make much sense in the first place, but a lot of the jokes have to do with anime cliches in other series. it's really good. check it out. --- Aaron D Meyers <adm226@nyu.edu> wrote:
