no problem. Like I said, man, it's a HUGE inspiration on my films (just watch currently untitled and me, myself, and my third eye, it influenced those big time). THANK YOU for the o'rourke essay -- I had NO IDEA he was into that film! He likes good stuff; Eureka (2000, not the Roeg one, even though he named his album after the Roeg one.. weird), Blow Out (another top 10 film of mine; he sampled it for an experimental film he did. Yeah he sampled the movie Blow out)... he loves Antonioni too... but yeah, back to FUNERAL PARADE/PROCESSION/whatever... it, along with PIERROT LE FOU, is why I made movies. I would have never even thought of making films until I saw it. DAISIES is probably up there too (and LOVE IS COLDER THAN DEATH... and Evangelion/Paranoia Agent) as the films that made me go, "Holy shit. I want to do this."

Anyway, to see another film that influenced me greatly, one that's even better, see PASTORAL TO DIE IN THE COUNTRY, and see THROW AWAY YOUR BOOKS AND RALLY IN THE STREETS, both by Shuji Terayama who I know I just go on and on about. He's a contemporary to Toshio Matsumoto. The Japanese new wave was AMAZING, definitely my favorite films ever.

You might have seen some of these but here are my 3 favorite Japanese new wave shorts:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNshDaTJ2BI = toshio matsumoto's "Phantom", my favorite short ever and was a huge infleunce on my film NOTHING IS MOREW BEAUTIFUL THAN NOTHING.

2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFIPKV__LMw = twilight by tengei amano. SO beautiful... okay, just clicked and it looks like it got deleted for copyright infringement (in some countries; it's viewable elsewhere still,t hough. Okay?!).. Okay, I'm sure it's on surrealmoviez.. it's def. on karagarga... I will up it to CINEMAGEDDON soon definitely.

3. http://www.viddler.com/explore/ManooN/videos/1/ = Nobukiko Oboyashi's "Emotion". .. director of HAUSU

here's a few more fun vids for y'all:
