Quoteh_rHi everyone, It's been a few years since I've been on the forum. What brings me back is this: Some of the est founding people, who turned into the Landmark people, have now become the Pachamama people and the Awakening the Dreamer people. I'll leave you to google those organizations. can you provide some more information or details? it sounds awfully vague. what particu

@Sparky, the film only clocks in at twenty minutes. so no studio release. if the IFC shows shorts, I guess it might end up there. just the first version of THX-1138 got released as a studio film. the second, longer version got independent financing, though maybe you know that? (one of my favorite films, BTW. glad to have seen it on re-release on a big screen.)

QuoteON2 LFwhat was the purpose for this film? I won't say. the director might get mad at me if I did. (probably not, but not so I'd risk it.) BTW, the film has the working (final?) title "Pushing Upwards".

QuoteON2 LFall I mean is..when I think of this film being filmed in the almost too perfectly staged scenario of Landmark 'glory' or satire--- you'd have needed a higher budget and more preparation and more actors to recreate it accurately. for instance, it would take a lot of work to make the inches exactly 4.67 inches away from each other at all times (or whatever the specificat

I further conjecture that this will happen at the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, which Harvard owns. the Carpenter Center has a small art gallery and also shows a couple of movies a

all of yesterday I played the part of a participant in a thinly veiled version of Landmark. the most challenging part involved me screaming abuse at the main character and at the camera representing her POV. (in the film we go off in groups of four with three yelling of us yelling at the fourth person.) I screamed so long and much that I can only talk in a croaky rasp today. Natalie, the film

update: as best as I can figure out, the museum rents out space to whoever can pay for it. a woman named Kellie Carter takes care of that. the reception said she "might" have gone away for today, Monday, after spending Saturday at work. you can her office at (919) 220-5429, extension 400 or e-mail her at kellie.carter@

1) what would a Transformed world look like, Nettie? what should we expect? would it look like The Road Warrior to maybe more like Things To Come with gleaming white underground cities?

QuoteGulab JamonI didn't get that from the movie AT ALL. As I remember, they were actually joking about the fact that the guy wanted to buy an ordinary rock that had come from a creek. The point of the rock story was that the belief and intention was what made the rock special, not where it came from or whether or not it cost money. I just Googled it and they have at least one slick websi
