All this discussion about Bjork and dancer in the dark
made me want to throw out a side topic:
Dancer in the Dark make me sick! Really physically
sick. The Blair Witch Project did the same thing. I'm
prone to motion sickness (not in vehicles, but when
watching images move in certain ways). I've learned
the hard way to avoid IMAX films, and many computer
games, but was blindsided by Blair Witch. Halfway
through that film, I realized I was feeling BAD. Spent
the last half hour with my eyes closed, fighting
nausea. Had to wait an hour before driving home till
my stomach settled.
i was prepared for the possibility of getting sick
during Dancer in the Dark, and sure enough, it
happened. I waited as long as I could, I really wanted
to see the first musical number. Soon as it was over,
I left my partner in the theater and spent the rest of
the film in the lobby. Returned for the last 5
minutes.
Don't know what to make of that film (the bit I saw of
it). It was so melodramatic that it was almost
comical, and filmed worse than my uncle's bad home
movies. But something about it seemes really
interesting as well.
As far as Bjork is concerned, I find the way she uses
her voice really interesting. Try 'Birthday' from the
first Sugarcubes CD. Also like her second solo record,
'Post', but I am not a fan of the electronica sound
she keeps edging closer to. All her videos are very
interesting visually as well. I really hate most music
videos, but hers are really original.
