  You've got to see where Herzog is coming from. Forget the penguins: only a Godless universe would allow Nicholas Cage to thrive while our favourite lunatic director's films go in and out of cinemas go under appreciated. Proof of the absurdity and chaos of the universe? Try the oscars...

  I hope you realise Werner is one of the people keeping Nic Cage in work - he's bloody starring in that Bad Lieutenant remake!

  But Mark, if this really is an ordered and beautiful universe, how do we explain the chaos, disharmony and murder in the films of Quentin Tarantino?
  
  Just advocating the devil.
  
  Come back to 5Live soon, it's not been the same.

  I've always had a problem with the second law of thermodynamics. If entropy (i.e. chaos) always increases with time, how did we ever emerge from the primordial soup?

  Well said. Love 'im or hate 'im, Herzog is never less than intersting (read:mad as a box of ferrets) and i'm looking forward to seeing this.

  re: antimode
  
  The planet is, as the 2nd law dictates, a system trying to reach equilibrium. Because the system is open (ie has an energy source) it can never achieve this, but is constantly trying to redistribute its energy evenly. Life is better at redistributing energy than non-life, and complex life is better at it than simple life, so the emergence of ever more complex lifeforms fulfils the 2nd law perfectly. We are agents of energy redistribution, nothing more.

  Herzog is a man to be admired, however I would like to go off topic and write about my sadness for the loss of the great author J G Ballard.
  
  A man of extraordinary talent and profound wit that as not only shaped literature, but the world of music and cinema. We should be grateful for the work we have and mourn the writings we'll miss.

  "...agents of energy distribution" sounds like a good name for a band.

  Dr. K, you never let me down.
  I've been desperate to see Herzog's latest for months now and I can't wait until it arrives at our screens.
  His work is keeping post-modern cinema alive and his documentaries are just superior. It gives me huge pleasure to see a documentary in the cinema and 'Encounters at the End of the World' looks just beautiful.

  OK, sorry Ram-Jam, I wasn't particularly original, I realise that now. I only wanted to chat with the cool film buffs and now looks what I've done!

  Hi Dr Mark,
  
  Just to expand the question futher.
  
  If Herzog is steming the tide - what is creating the wave?
  
  A chaotic God perhaps?

  The very sad news was announced yesterday of the death of the extraordinarily talented Jack Cardiff.
  
  I'm sure that if there is a heaven, Jack is there right now; and thanks to him it'll no longer be starved for Technicolor.
  
  RIP Jack.

  End of the World? It really must be - if Mark admits he's looking forward to a film with Nicholas Cage in it!!
