Music and Movies.

Dark side of the rainbow.I've heard about quite a few cases where you can sync up otherwise unrelated songs and movies resulting in a piece of film that seems completely and eerily intentional. The most famous of these sync-ups is called Dark Side of the Rainbow, which syncs up Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon with The Wizard of Oz. I've always dismissed these kind of things as people just looking too deeply into it, like this one interpretation of Fight Club and Radiohead's The Bends:

Track One on "The Bends", "Planet Telex", is referred to at least three times within the film.

(a) "'Planet Xerox' was this song's original title, but because Xerox was a copyrighted name, Radiohead changed it to 'Planet Telex.'" Jack: "When deep space exploration ramps up it'll be the corporations that name everything: the I.B.M. Stellarsphere, the Microsoft Galaxy, Planet Starbucks..."

(b) The pay phone that Jack uses to call Tyler is made by a company called Telnex.

(c) When Tyler disappears and the house is run by his army, Jack refers to the place as "Planet Tyler", a mere two letters away.

Anyway, I ran into this sync-up of a scene from Fantasia 2000 and Tool's 10,000 Days which I feel is pretty neat. I've never seen the original Fantasia nor this remake in 1999, but I basically have to now because it looks really cool. The song isn't bad, either.

I may be more interested in these kinds of things now, but I'm sure it helps if you are familiar with at least the song or the movie. That is probably one reason why I've never been too curious about Dark Side of the Rainbow.

So I guess that means tell me some that you might know about, and I will watch them. Or I won't.
