Ghandi Rhymes With Ghondry--Can't Be A Coincidence


It's not a highly guarded government secret that I'm automatically attracted to anything director Michael Gondry touches (ex: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Science of Sleep). I'm already a loaded gun for his latest which hits theaters this month -- "Be Kind, Rewind" starring Jack Black and Mos Def.

But enough about past and present. Gondry recently told MTV about plans for a film which he's currently writing, which he is calling "The Return of The Ice Kings." It's about a boy who invents a kind of water that plays music in your head when you drink it. (which screams of popular 21st century comments about how music has become like water--it's needed and exists in a great quantity, but it's easily accessible and is very recyclable.)

Amazing.

Either the French director has been reading my blog posts about melody roads, or him and I are just quite simply kindred spirits.

I love Gondry. His part of Tokyo! is surreal, but humane(and funny as hell). Its like Kafka on film(but, again,funnier).

The Tokyo! DVD drops June 30th (i think). You can pre-order on the website http://tokyothemovie.com/
