This Is a Movie from The Flaming Lips
(In Respect to poet Margaret Atwood)
It was filmed some time ago.
At first it seems to be
a Wayne Coyne
epic: oxygen generators and grey martians
blended with music;
then, as you watch
it, you see in the left-hand corner
a penis-shaped man: on a psychedelic trip
(acid or DXM) in space
and, to the right, halfway up
what ought to be a gentle
hobbit, a cameo of Elijah Wood.
In the background there are instrumentals,
and beyond that, Steve Burns from Blue's Clues.
(The movie will be released
in October on DVD with the score on CD.
Isaac Brock plays a small part
in the film, just under the surface.
It is difficult to say why
precisely, or to say
how good or bad this will be:
the effect of these musicians
on film is a distortion
but if you wait long enough,
eventually
you will be able to see this film.)
