Underwhelming. Possibly due to me having to watch it with the volume low, but i think of the movies of this stripe that overwhelm - that truly assault through vision, sound and texture - and this for the most part just felt like some old rocker recapitulation with all of the signs and screaming to little effect.

ELECTRIC DRAGON 80000V
dir. Sogo Ishii/Gakuryu Ishii, 2001
A black and white punk movie directed and written by Sogo Ishii. I collaborated with my ally, Masato Okada for the title sequence. Struggles everyday over a year. Illustrations sent by fax from the main actor, Tadanobu Okada. I set multiple motions to the graphics until its unreadable. I tried to think of all the possible techniques unconventional for the production of an ending sequence, in black and white. We burnt the computer-made motion graphics onto 16mm film, blew it up to 35mm and then converted from film back to video again. It was such a combination of analog and digital procedures.

Watched this beautiful piece of art yesterday evening and woke up with a massive headache, but it could also be due to having spent the rest of the night listening to blink-182's old stuff.
