Stekki Daiyo!
Today I received my copy of Stekki Daiyo!'s first DVD!
Stekki Daiyo! is Ted Mills' production.
The DVD includes 3 films, the main feature Nowhereland, and the short films Walk Cycle and Universal Leader.
Nowhereland is a fantastic black and white 32-minute film about men who are work prisoners in a small station on a strange planet. They have to constinuously analyze endless printouts and try to apparently make sure everything is in order, under the supervision of a strict boss. Chaos will begin when one of them finds out they're not alone by entering in communication with... a woman!
The old-style computers and machines, dialogues in a strange language, and the mysterious characters contribute to making this a very enjoyable film!
Now I still have to hear the commentary tracks and check out all the special features on this DVD!
I think it's too late for you to order a copy of the first pressing, but you may be able to pre-order a copy of the next. Details at Stekki Daiyo!

It's worth the wait. :)
That's cool that you're going back home for Christmas! As for me I'm planning to wait until spring.
The Canadian winter is too hard on me now that I know Tokyo's.
What sucks is that I'll be working on Christmas day and I always miss the Christmas ambience. How is it there?

up until a few years ago, christmas was a holiday here(constitution day) but now that holiday is no longer observed so we have to work on that day.
since it never snows here, it just doesn't feel like christmas. the locals here see xmas as an excuse to have a wacky party, but somehow skinny asian santas dancing to ymca are not things i associate with xmas.
i also find winters in the states much colder than i did before. maybe my blood has thinned from all these years in taiwan.
