Yes. Recent years crowdfunding sites are very famous to raise money for any idea. Even stupid ideas like making potato salad[^] which raised $55K.
But this guy making a movie(2nd part) based on his autobiography book. His movies're unique IMO. I have watched Eltopo, Saint's blood long time ago & both're amazing & weird.

His last movie The Dance of Reality[^] has 93% on rottontomatoes. And the documentary movie about his failed attempt on dune, Jodorowsky's Dune[^] has 98% on rottontomatoes. Here the text version[^] of that documentary.
Hollywood celebrity Zack braff raised over $3 million[^] for his movie using the same way. But this guy asking for just 1/10 of that money.

Looks like a family venture.
Three Jodorowskys in the cast. 
|
|
|
|

Nope. They're just saving the salary of 3 cast members(You have to pay if you hire 3 actors from anywhere).
BFN, going for office

You mean they will not get paid, will work for free?
Someone has to pay them for their work, isn't it? They, being young(er), will have their own occupations, and need to take time off those occupations to work for this movie, isn't it? (I hope they are not unemployed  )
One more thing, what is their motivation to work for free? A dream that their movie will become a grand success at the box office?

I was talking about those Three Jodorowskys as you mentioned. Would you ask your father for salary if he makes a movie with casting you? No, right? So the young Jodorowskys.

I am also talking of the same three people. IMHO, they have to get paid.

Yes. Would certainly ask.

One more thing. From that website, I quote: 'Our world is suffering from a devastating absence of poetry.'
Not sure what the basis for this statement is. And what does he mean by 'Our world'. Certainly does not include India.
Take my own language - Kannada. Poetry is being created everyday - look at recent magazines and you'll exquisite poetry. Not to mention the poetry already existing from more than 1000 years. Same with all other languages in India, I feel - there is no dearth of poetic creativity in our country in particular, and the world in general.
Lyrics of all our movie songs are indeed poems; agree that their quality is not as it was earlier. However, we do find beautiful poetic expression in some recent songs too.
Maybe, he has a different connotation for the word 'poetry'.

It's up-to one self.
IMO there they meant Art[^]. There's a film genre[^]
He's an experimental, surreal artist who wants to make an unique movie, visually stunning one.
Nowadays half of the movies suck badly. You could find some in Golden razzies. Mostly commercial garbage & with full of tiring CG. Notable examples : Transformers & Twilight series.

...Should not be taken lightly. My back has been hurting for over a week now.
I replaced my chair last weekend and it seems to be getting better.
This isn't the first time I've had job related back issues either.
For all of those that think I must be an old geezer, I'm 27.
Let this be a warning to all you young people out there who are just starting their job at the office (or a reminder for those who've worked there for a while)...
Get a good chair and a well adjusted desk.
Unlike your software your body doesn't have a backup!

I'd farther recommend some sort of exercise, even taking a long walk at lunch. Your body is made to be moving. Sitting all day (even in a good chair) will leave aches and pains eventually.
I learned this at the ripe 'old' age of 30.

Alright, you got me... It's actually my strategy to get more work done during the day. As soon as someone enters my office they get this weird look on their face, turn around and make a run for the bathroom. My daily interruptions are at an all time low and my productivity is soaring. I plan to take the car to work one of these days so my boss can enter my office and promote me for my superior productivity

That was my first thought but I live in the tropics and work in an "open plan" bench type set up.

In that case it's also a great strategy to get your private office

Good suggestion, I'll put it in practice ASAP - also it is 42 km from home to work, should work pretty fast!

I bike every day as well. It's 34km round trip, but I couldn't imagine having to drive it. I would likely wind up dead from a stroke after all the road rage.

Just because you do plenty of exercise, don't think that compensates completely for sitting 8 hours a day! It does help of course, but you need to get up, take a walk. Work standing some of the time, and sitting at other times. Change things around a bit.
A bad back is pretty minor compared to some of the things you can get by sitting all day... like SO many of us do!

I'm 47, and don't drive. In spite of programming for over 20 years, I've just begun developing back problems in the last 3 or so (due to a fall-related coccyx injury). I put it down to lots of walking, cycling and casual exercise, integrated into daily life.

Cycling does very little to work your back muscles, or any of your core muscles at all. Great for the legs and cardio in general, but a more comprehensive workout routine will go much farther in strengthening your core and addressing back problems.

Yes I recommend yoga also
