...be possible to go through Koyaanisqatsi scene by scene and yet it would also be impossible. There is a sense of mysticism to this film, most likely intentional as the title: Koyaanisqatsi comes from the Native American Hopi tribe, which is explained as the film finishes. For those of a curious disposition, Koyaanisqatsi means

It has a narrative, but in an entirely different sense to going down to your local multiplex and seeing a Hollywood blockbuster, which is not to suggest that there is anything wrong with doing so; Koyaanisqatsi is simply the kind of life that should be pretentious, self-indulgence-as-high-art rubbish.

The disc is a compilation from the show that went out in 2001, the year that's memorable for the mass incineration of Britain's farm animal population, and planes flying into buildings. Ahhh, 2001. Was it really two years ago?
Big Brother 2. Kate, Jade, Alex, Sandy, remember?
Wrong! That was Big Brother 3. Funny how it all becomes a blur, isn't it?
BB ... ...Surely it's the highlight of Big Brother to see the evictees walking out to varying degrees of cheers and boos from the baying mob outside. And don't you just love it when Davina shows them the footage of them being nominated by the other housemates? Not to mention the rapturous reception the winner and runner-up receives on the final night. Well, there's none of that on the DVD. In fact Davina McCall isn't even on it - anywhere. The whole thing ...
