better yet, see both and draw your own conclusions.  i personally find pi
to be seriously influenced by Testsuo, at least style-wise and music-wise
(same music formatting.. dont know how to explain it.. maybe someone can
help me?) -- but i thought the story was pretty original.

and its nice to see yet another movie that breaks away nicely from the
norm of film making ..  i recommend both -- especially since you still
have the chance to see Pi in a theater.


now, as far as testuo is concerned, does anyone know anything about the
nigher-budget sequel/remake? i think it was called "hammer" or something.

also, 'drumstruck', which is a video short on my copy of Testsuo is really
quite fun as well...
