A New Diversion, A Super Vision - By Andrew Lindy
í¢â‚¬Å“When I move you move, just like that; when I move you move, just like that.í¢â‚¬ - Ludacris
Well ití¢â‚¬â„¢s a big improvement anyway: my Dad read diversions part 1 and he said he understood everything, which as I said is a big improvement (for me) and my typical dervish rant.
A New Diversion, A Super Vision Cont.1 - By Andrew Lindy
Continued from page 1. If youí¢â‚¬â„¢ve never heard it, just to hear it, if you really hear it, it is enough to change your entire life.
There is a wound so close that you doní¢â‚¬â„¢t even realize it (and its dominoing influence.) It is so intimate, like anything that is itself, it doesní¢â‚¬â„¢t always know itself. The mind; it is what it is; it is what has evolved. As we said, the world that we make is the world that we are. And yet, right in the heart of it, that very opposite is true: You are yourself, yet you are also outside yourself, aware that you ARE. Giving rise to reflection and change: the same inside-outside force that splits the cell and delineates evolution. You talk ABOUT yourself, plan FOR yourself, (paradoxically doing something FOR the unified thing that is doing: complete, unified, yet seeking improvement.) This is the way we subsist, you are used to it, you are resilient, you take this massive rupture totally for granted: we are actually divided-in on ourselves.
A New Diversion, A Super Vision Cont.2 - By Andrew Lindy
Continued from page 2. The awareness in which all bodies are contained is like a tent full of light with holes poked all throughout the canvass, each of us a viewpoint, and because each set of eyes will see from its own viewpoint, each experience is different, seeing whatever life and light dances before those eyes. But one day, one notices the light is everywhere, and it is not í¢â‚¬Å“Ií¢â‚¬ who sees the world, but rather the light of the world by which these eyes revealed can see í¢â‚¬“ like the part in Indiana Jones 3 where the bad guys disintegrate on seeing the Holy Grail and pure light blasts out of every cavity. Each body a conduit: thatí¢â‚¬â„¢s the allegory. Yet, there is no permanent body! The metaphor of death upon seeing the life-force is akin to the sun deciding it is deficient of light and thus tries to remove itself from itself in order to feel its own radiance. If ever one gets a taste of that much redundancy, only thought is quiet for just a moment, it is possible to exit the matrix maze of the pinhole. Life then can never be the same again.

A few things crossed my mind. What do you reckon?:
Review: London to Brighton - By Leanne Welham
I have to admit that when I read the blurb for first time writer/director Paul Andrew Williamsí¢â‚¬â„¢s London To Brighton, I experienced a familiar sinking feeling.í‚ An í¢â‚¬Ëœindependent British gangster/thrillerí¢â‚¬â„¢ with an unknown cast and low budget immediately put me in mind of such recent cringeworthy Brit crime flicks as Crank, Revolver and Layer Cake only with lower production valuesí¢â‚¬ ¦ Thankfully though, London To Brighton is actually quite good. í‚
Lost Cult Classics - By Andrew Skeates
In the baffling and often mind boggling, Suicide Club<!--[endif]-->, director Sion Sono, weaves an almost hallucinatory tale of an epidemic of rash suicides striking Tokyo. Young people throw themselves in front of trains, off buildings and out of windows, in an apparent new trend makes death í¢â‚¬Å“coolí¢â‚¬ . Detective Kuroda (Ryo Ishibashi) and his squad are called in to investigate, finding that a mysterious website and a rather odd teen pop group may have something to with all the suicides.
Imax: The Bigger Picture - By Nick Goundry
The BFI London IMAX is an ever-present background entity to all those who leave Waterloo International and descend the steps into the city. Since its erection in 1999, the structure has achieved a slightly uneasy integration with the urban architecture fanning from Londoní¢â‚¬â„¢s South Bank. The í‚ £20million building attempts a statement of modernity, and always proclaims its latest cinematic offering with outward-facing banners that rival the format itself for sheer enormity. As the exotic alternative to traditional cinematic spectacle, the IMAX sales pitch tends to begin with the venue.
Diversions - Music Video of the Month
To kick off Capitalmag's first music video of the month feature, we present the beautiful Glíƒ ³síƒ ³li from Icelandic band Sigur Ríƒ ³s. Unrivalled for sheer cinematic scope, this video looks as gorgeous as it sounds.

Dragons Den UK Film Festival - By Andrew Skeates
Dragons Den is the premiere UK website dedicated to martial arts movies that recently held their first Kung Fu UK Film Festival. The impressive line up included two old school (Invincible Armour and The Mystery of Chess Boxing), two new school (Kampfansage and Contour) and one bona fide classic (Drunken Master 2). Fans were able to revel in the mix of martial arts styles the films presented, from the complicated and sustained (and sometimes humorous) fight sequences in Invincible Armour and Chess Boxing to the to the break-neck, stunt filled fights of Contour and Kampfansage.
