Original Message With Bill Paxton's recent passing, I came across this incredibly odd film. (William S. Burroughs had a hand in it, so that explains part of that.)

Taking Tiger Mountain (1983)
[link to m.imdb.com]

This was one of his first films, a B&W film with some strangely prophetic gender and sexuality issues, especially when compared to today's bizarre landscape. It even had September 11th references almost ten decades prior... (The film is later in the thread.)

The film is a veritable gold mine of audio samples, and I've taken the liberty to start a project based on a few of them. It's a rather dark and (unfinished) ominous piece with atmosphere and texture:

- Do you have any feeling of resentment towards the world?

- Do you often feel alone, even when you are with your closest friends?

- Are you frequently depressed?

- Do you sometimes feel that life is not worth living?

- Do you think you have received your "fair share" in life?

- Are you usually confident of your looks and abilities?

- Do you think people usually like you the first time they meet you?

- Do you think that you are important, or at least useful, in this world?

- Do you think that this world is a nice place to live?

- What are your sexual fantasies?
