movies (Page 25 of 31)

Hey, did anyone else notice that the music played during the ritual scene in Eyes Wide Shut seemed to be playing backwards?   You can tell by the way the voice sounds.    Well I just downloaded the soundtrack and loaded that track into an audio editing program, and reversed it so now it is probably "back to normal," or at least closer to the original recording than before.     If you want to check it out, go here.

Whoa! Sounds even more "ritualistic", is that a real language? It's a trip, thanks!

Cool, I found this translation:

Nice song... would sound even better with some heavy electric guitars. Oh wait, that's just doom metal

I recently saw "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1978).

Highly recommended!  Very well done as a film as fascinating with regard to the subject matter.

A true classic.   Donald Sutherland is the lead character with Leonard Nimoy and Jeff Glodblum playing supporting roles.  Filmed in San Francisco.

The movie that popularized the term "pod people"!

I just got through watching Idiocracy.  It thought it was pretty good, and even my father who is a big fan of capitalism and western civilization got a big kick out of it.  Most of the humor is a cross between laughing at fart jokes, and then laughing about how stupid fart jokes.  There is a lot of crude humor, and if you don't like that stuff I don't think this movie would be good for you.

hey free*world, me too.  i wanna see that movie too, and a few others.  im into that word and concept AVATAR, others on here seem to gyrate with it too.  its strikes something in me/us.  its probably the root of it, all that power that seems to generate from it.  its soooo cool that some movies are showing whats coming up/going on, is and has always been there, but not in the mainstream.  many ppl wouldnt even know what that really meant.

im freaking out at work the last 2 weeks+ and i MISS U GUYS bad. since working DAILY (icky) i havent been able to post or even be on here, for weeks, and im all weirded out without my NR.  i have wanted to say way more on blood, the BSD, the tuatha de dannan, honor, more on WIH, associated with a bunch of soul journey stuff from Cosmic Awareness.  but cant get my bookmarks here at work.  more study on life after death, with a place i wanted to show u guys, (maybe should even start a new thread on that==life after death stuff.  theres just so much on it, and its all connected).  these are the most awful, yet the damndest coolest times we're living in these days.  its all so unreal, living on earth now. i feel so apart from it all, just watching like from trees, waiting, wondering, muttering to self, silently. yet, so much more calm, with more understanding.  if i knew more specifics, id say this might be one of my favorite lives, in these years, because of what is being revealed on the planet.  watching it happen from a culmination of lives, as this personality.   i think we are all avatars, have been and will be again.  as Ahriman said in one of his posts--"In the stampede of consciousness those most aware sit in the branches of a shady tree, some watching, some planning, all waiting."  god, i loved that.

here on avatars--i thot it was cool, and it is a kinda cool site.  with a lot of links.

The Nature of Avatars

When goodness grows weak,
When evil increases,
I make myself a body.

In every age I come back
To deliver the holy,
To destroy the sin of the sinner
To establish righteousness
(Bhagavad Gita)

The actual definition: An Avatar is in incarnation of a fragment of God on Earth. Avatars that are known of in the West include, Christ, Buddha, Rama, and Krishna; but there are many others as enumerated in the Bhagavata, the story of all the major Avatars. An Avatar may be born in the home of a very pure but otherwise ordinary human mother and father. The Avatar arrives in a body that is human and mortal like others but the Avatar himself is fully aware of his complete Divinity and whatever he wills must happen. The Mahabharata and Bhagavata contain stories about the Avatar Krishna who was recognized by a few of his contemporaries as a Divine Incarnation. But most considered him their friend, enemy, or just another, if extraordinary, citizen of the community. The Avatar is born with a mission, a reason for his advent and never swerves from those goals. Avatars may accomplish tasks in miraculous ways or they may use ordinary means and instruments to accomplish their goal. The miracles, however are merely the calling card of the Divine and not the end in themselves. Those few pure souls, full of devotion, who are drawn to the Avatar may glimpse a portion of his glory and think of Him as a great saint, sage, or more rarely even recognize Him for what he is, an incarnation of the Absolute, but they are typically few in number. Powers of evil naturally oppose the powers of good, so often men of power and arrogance develop a strong hatred of divine personalities and oppose them vigorously as was the case with Christ.

"Some spiritual beings, even after attaining to Realization may choose to be reborn voluntarily to further some specific plan or purpose of the Divine. There are many examples of such types of beings in India and elsewhere who have come to accomplish various tasks. Many times their activities are carried out using very subtle means. In the East such a one is called a Sat Purush. Various religions use other terms such as a Saint, Prophet, Buddha, etc. "  wow.
