Books are little bits of adventure, even for the bookmark.
Your Occasional Friday Rogue Video has arrived…
Tool’s music is generally dark and metalically disturbing, dancing the range from symphonic to near-avante garde. Their music videos, often conceived/directed by front man Maynard James Keenan, are little windows into an unsettling alternate reality. (why yes, i do have every one of their albums, why do you ask?)
38-39˚c gives us the blueprint of a relationship between a father and son inside the dream the protagonist experiences while under the spell of the elevated temperatures of a bathhouse. Thick sheets of paper in exquisite arrangement represent the two men who are linked by their identical birthmarks, yet cannot seem to look at each other. —- Maureen Selwood

Luminaris is the story of a man living in a world controlled by light. Each morning, the inhabitants of that world are woken up and pulled to their jobs by the sunlight, as if by a magnetic force. Our protagonist works in a factory making electric light bulbs, but has larger ambitions of his own. The setting of the film is a classic Buenos Aires, revisited from a fantastic point of view. The film uses a collage of styles, combining art deco, tango, surrealism, and neorealism.
