"Prognostications on Gaspar Noé's Enter the Void 

It's been a half decade since Gaspar Noé has made a feature film. He has been quiet since Irréversible with only a short film and other small projects to his credit so every fan of Gaspar Noé has a right to complain that it has been too long since Gaspar Noé has been seen in theatres around the world. Buzz has been building since rumours hit as far back as 2005 that Gaspar Noé has another feature film in the works. Information is sketchy but the buzz has it that the film will be shot in Japan and the script, approximately a hundred pages in length (Irréversible had only a three page treatment) and deals with a set of siblings involved with drugs. Influenced by the Tibeten Book of the Dead and termed by Gaspar Noé as psychedelic, the siblings are in their teens or early twenties and are experimenting with sex and drugs. Intriguing indeed! 

Since we have waited such a long time for the movie, we here at Exposure Online Magazine have decided to look into our crystal ball and predict what the movie will contain. We believe Gaspar Noé will mix techniques from both his previous films (Seul contre tous and Irréversible) to create a truly disturbing film. The film will have flashing and seizure inducing opening credits. It will containg a narrative from the male lead describing whats going through his head when he is consuming large amounts of drugs. He will either rape his sister or the two will have consensual incestuous sex. The sex will be both tender and violent. The cinematography will be disorientating using colour scemes of deep reds during the violent scenes and aqua-marine blues during the more tender moments. A handheld camera will be used for some scenes and flash editing will jump in throughout the 90+ minute length. 

There will be a small part in the film for one of the main characters from his previous film Irréversible. We believe Philippe Nahon character of the Butcher will not appear but the actor himself may have a small part. The film will be Gaspar Noé's most complex. It will be hard to follow as dream sequences and reality will be almost interchangeable. Many scenes will be shot with a static camera and some takes will be over the 10 minute mark The film will end with either sibling mudering the other and it won't be surprizing if the brother is the one to commit it. 

In order to bring his film making to the ne of the film, Gaspar Noé will show the incest occuring between family members which he failed to do in Seul contre tous. He will also introduce a religious element to the imagery and we would not be surprised if necrophilia will be perpetrated by the male lead after he realizes he murdered his sister. It will take the form of a guilt ritual with the male lead shedding tears as he pumps himself inside her.

Hmmm.  I am really not at liberty to say anything.  But incest? Ha!


In "Me" news starting Wed. I will be sporting railroad tracks for 1 year now.  Mhmm - braces.  Better now then never I suppose though.  They are clear so it wont be so bad, I think Tom Cruise wore braces a couple years ago, gimme a break, I can do this.   Can I?


I was almost to lazy to post some music, but I did it, I DID IT OK!  Ok so Dead Prez.  It's def. not mainstream rap, thats for sure, they have a couple solid tracks ("Fay-Fake Recor-Records" anyone?) and yeah, the idea of a rap about good foods seems a little juvenile, but maybe we need more of that.  Obviously Sigur Ros hasn't brought us world peace yet (I think we need to play Glosoli in loudspeakers every morning, this could work you know).  Anyways, the money virus bit M1 and that other guy and there new album sucks RBG: Revolutionary But Gangsta'...less hate man, seriously, less hate.  I don't hate Germans.  I don't hate Jihad.  Revolutionize with the current times, the past is irrelevant, all you have is right now...right fucking now and nothing else, act in this moment and plan for a better future.  Positive strides for change.  Guns are murder weapons, hate heals nothing. Remorse, anger, regret, are all emotions that will halt everyone including yourself to obtain a brighter future.  Don't fight fire with fire, you will only burn down the entire house.  Forgiveness breads friendship, friendships create loving relationships, loving relationships ensure peace between two.  If you can rap about fresh fruits, you sure as hell can rap about one love with everyone all over the globe.  

Be sure to hit up this track, follow these basic simple words.  You will be much happier with yourself.


The Super Villain!  Viktor Vaughn!  More commonly know as Doom.  MF Doom.  Definitely one of my favorite english born MC's his real, thoughtful, smooth and never nerdy lyrics.  This dude is never quite getting the respect that his music deserves.  This one is a Dangermouse Remix, even though Dangermouse severely damaged my interest in him with his C-Lo collab producing the bitch-lame-baby-child; Gnarls Barkley.  I'll get over it.  I love you Mr. Burton.  Always knowing how to create a well orchestrated, melodic beat.  This is one of my favorite tracks involving the two artists.  

I give to you:


A Couple dance tracks to keep you occupied:

i:Cube - Prophetization (Demo) [ZSHARE]  Secretly I am the biggest Daft Punk fan ever to walk the Earth, I am even barely to cool to revel this.  I however, wasn't happy with the i:Cube remix of Around The World.  It was just, blah, um...boring?  Anyways, I wanted to see what else i:Cube had to offer, being from France, I figured they had a little dance blood in them (How did this ever come to be?).  I happened upon this song, and it really rocks my socks off.  I love how a dance track can just jump right into a groove.  I think this is how i fell in love with The Field so much.  No five minute solo drum intro here...right smack into the song.  Killer drums, interesting chant thing going on.  5/5.  Good work for wining back my respect from the shoddy Daft Punk remix.  

Sasumu Hirasawa - Meditational Field [ZSHARE]  We all have guilty pleasures.  We all do.  ALL OF US!  For some people its Lil Bow Wow, for some people its Blink 182 (I openly LOVE this band), for some people its Victoria's Secret, for some people it's as dull as caramel bars...for me it's the soundtrack to Paprika.  I watched this film the other day...apart from it making absolutely no sense what-so-ever, I was captivated by the soundtrack.  Fuck, this song is so upbeat, Japanese, blah-da-fucking-blah. I like it.  It really hits home for me since I spent over 3 months there.  Susumu Hirasawa creates something that, if it where created by anyone else on this earth would be considered happy hardcore or full on trance or something.  But since its Japanese, and they dont have that stuff (they just have beautiful instrumental, shitty copy-pop-rock-rap, or Animae)...so it works!  I really recommend Paprika, it's an extremely captivating film, the imagery is so intense and wild.  But this song just pops up at random during the movie and it gets me everytime.

I'm putting together a "Vocoder Best Of" for an upcoming post...gonna be ILL.  Peace.
