A Wicked Kendragon
I just woke up from a dream so weird it has to be shared:
In the dream I was watching a making-of documentary.
At first it looked like they were talking about a side scrolling shooter, but then the camera pulls back and it's somekind of gothic horror set for a science fiction movie with gigantic corridors filled with industrial constructs and metallic razor wire trees. And there was a set full of dark water and huge sharp shapes moving in it, and another in a city set in deep space.
Then the footage cuts to a forest straight out of a samurai movie with slender uniform trees equidistant from each other. There is a swordsman off-screen who cuts down every single one of them with a single slice of invisible energy, and a woman in a black leather outfit who looked like a mix between Kate Bush and Siobhan from Shakespeare's Sister. She does a coreographed synchronised sideways falling along with the trees as if she was hit as well, except she keeps falling out of sync and they have to keep re-shooting the scene over and over, with her and trees going down, back up, down..
And constantly in the background there is this song, somehow similar to something Portishead might have sung, except it was a male voice, but the only words I can remember are the refrain: "beam away, beam away for good, sunshine lands in a night of knives"
And at the end of the dream the words of the director in the making-of commentary going "if they'd given this song to Chris de Burgh he would have driven it to the ground".
And then I woke up.
