Of course you want Björk to talk to you about fungi. That's like, a basic human need.

Bjork has a lovely voice. Reminds me of the video where she explains how her TV works and summarises that you should never let an Icelandic poet lie to you…

Haha. So, after I posted this, I thought I should crosspost to the Björk community. But there didn't seem to be one, so I made it. And of course I wanted that video as the first post, so you just saved me a YouTube search.

It was that video, back when, that I found myself recognizing without a chance of salvation that I was absolutely in love with that otherworldly creature called Bjork. 🥹🌈

p.s. the link doesn't work? 😅

I couldn’t find info on when this is being released? And what theatres are gonna have it? My gf is gonna love this.

[–] octoperson 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is what I found. I guess it's some sort of limited release that cinemas can request if there's interest

The film will be trickling into IMAX cinemas across Europe and North America in the coming weeks / months, and may already be playing at a theatre near you. Please contact your local IMAX cinema for more information.

Awesome thanks! My local iMax doesn’t have it now but I am sure they will. I might give them a call and ask for it. they always have unique films there.

Wasnt there a period of earth that had been basically overrun by fungi?

The other obvious casting choice

Ok, and hear me out, but can't AI reshoot Bjork’s music videos with Herzog playing her, instead?

If you ever get close to a human, and human behaviour, you will see real stupidity. It is a kind of bottomless stupidity, a fiendish stupidity. They are the most horrifying, cannibalistic and nightmarish creatures in the world.
