Well then. First I'll say you do me too much honor. I actually had not seen la Jetee, nor have I even seen 12 Monkeys (I know, blasphmer). When it came out, I was a hair too young for protective parents to let me go see it (a tender 13). Now that I'm grown, well, I just haven't had the chance. So, it was a nice treat to get to see la Jetee. Definately makes me want to watch 12 Monkeys now if that is the inspiraton. Oddly, I did get a bit of mojo about another time story from this. In partic: Somewhere in Time. Time Travel without Time Machines, I guess. An equally bitter ending, if executed in a different way.

on Apnee, good riddance! I hold no love for papparazi. That was a very enjoyable slow-motion loop through time. I especially liked how much they used reflections in the lense/sheen of the car.

Thanks, R.Fife. Now I'm glad I posted la Jetee. I thought about skipping it but I get too much of a kick out of watching it.

I gladly indulge in your magpie nature. Bring me your shinies, I shall oogle them with you. In all honesty, for as much as I love speculative fiction and all that goes with it, I am hideously under-read/exposed. Heck, I have only read half of the original Dune series, and that I started shortly after this past DragonCon after meeting Kevin J Anderson. I haven't even gotten to his books yet, yowza. The joy of two boys in diapers and my own books I'm writing and a day job. No time.

As to the world of sci-fi/fantasy art, there is far too much out there that I have not seen. I have an impressive collection of Whelan and Parkinson sitting on my HDD from before they nazi'd down on their security (not that I blame them), but thus far, everything you have posted has been not just new, but amazingly new to my eyes. Keep it up! *wipes drool off his chin*

Thanks for La jetée I'd only seen stills of it before.

What I enjoy the most about your posts are seeing things I'd heard of but never took the time to find and didn't come across at film festivals or conventions
