Re: [microsound] take the red pill?

Ha ha, thanks Bill, for posting these articles. Now I've felt like I've
seen the film without looking at a single image. I guess all that is left
now is to go see it for the special effects, (when it eventually comes
out on video).  ;-)   It was interesting to see the references to
Gnosticism (well, at least one form of it), tesla coils, Taoism, the
cabala (even if it was mentioned in the same breath as Marxism!), and the
other myriad tie-ins (originally intended in the film or
otherwise..).														
Sheesh, with the advent of this film, one would think "the second coming"
had just happened....	ah, the power of cheese(y media
hype).																			
Best, Dale
