The plot and exposition scenes in Scott Derrickson\u2019s Doctor Strange don\u2019t do much to break that mold, but when the story necessitates special effects to step in, the spacey spirits of comics visionaries like Jack Kirby finally get their day at the multiplex.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Doctor Strange was always an outlier in funnybooks. While it had the typical goofy Stan Lee patter (\u201cBy the Mystic Moons of Munnopor!\u201d \u201cBy the Wondrous Winds of Watoomb!\u201d and \u201cBy the Hoary Hosts of Hoggoth!\u201d, to offer a sample set), its eastern setting and emphasis on mystical powers were, for 1963, just right for burgeoning hippies who wanted to expand their minds but also didn\u2019t want to read actual books.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The psychedelic entanglement got a push in its early days by two kinda-sorta secret connections between the comic and the heaviest acid-rock band of all, pre-Dark Side of the Moon era <a class=\"u-underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/music\/pinkfloyd\" data-link-name=\"auto-linked-tag\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\">Pink Floyd<\/a>.

Released in June 1968, the album\u2019s cover, created by the graphic designers known as Hipgnosis, is an abstract expressionist collage rightly suited for low lighting, incense, headphones and a plunge into the plasma pool of one\u2019s own mindscape.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">But the recurring spheres on the left-hand side (one of which contains a silhouette of our poet-warrior-rockers, who recorded tracks such as Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun and Let There Be More Light) certainly tripped a memory for keen readers of the four-color art. Further scrutiny showed the Sorcerer Supreme himself blended onto the cover (at the top right) as well as one of his deadliest foes (top left).<\/p>\n<aside class=\"element element-rich-link element--thumbnail element-rich-link--upgraded\" data-component=\"rich-link\" data-link-name=\"rich-link-3 | 2\">\n<div class=\"rich-link tone-feature--item \">\n<div class=\"rich-link__container\">\n<div class=\"rich-link__image-container u-responsive-ratio\"><img src=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/1775b026f630c019a2955b35d991c996be4bf0c9\/0_0_5359_3215\/master\/5359.jpg?w=460&amp;q=55&amp;auto=format&amp;usm=12&amp;fit=max&amp;s=228d80420632a124b484c34c37dbd927\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"rich-link__header\">\n<h1 class=\"rich-link__title\"><a class=\"rich-link__link\">Benedict Cumberbatch on Doctor Strange: &#8216;It&#8217;s mind-blowing and very funny&#8217;<\/a><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rich-link__read-more\">\n<div class=\"rich-link__arrow\">\u00a0Strange Tales #158, released in July 1967, featured two stories. One involved a shirtless Nick Fury fighting a Hydra citadel that shot out Death Spores of Havoc and Inexorable Violence in a Blinding Helix of Light (comics!). The other story, The Sands of Death, illustrated by Marie Severin and written by Roy Thomas, saw Doctor Strange battling the Living Tribunal, a cosmic being who sits in judgment over the Multiverse. The Living Tribunal addresses Doctor Strange by bellowing: \u201cNow shall be pronounced the Incantation of Oblivion and your puny planet shall exist \u2013 NEVERMORE!!\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Six pages in, things get really freaky and the Living Tribunal offers Doctor Strange a vision of our world\u2019s imminent demise. Floating in a boundless inter-dimensional phase space, Strange sees an \u201cS\u201d of earths collapsing into red cosmic dust, headed toward a galactic spire of doom. Clearly this is an image meant for rock\u2019n\u2019roll, and it was this panel that Hipgnosis designer Storm Thorgerson incorporated into the album cover.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Soon thereafter, Pink Floyd did a great deal of work with non-Hollywood film-makers. They and the Grateful Dead contributed to Michelangelo Antonioni\u2019s counter-culture opus Zabriskie Point. (Yes, that furious rock number you hear as the house with all the loaves of Wonder Bread blows up is a re-tooling of the Floyd staple Careful With That Axe, Eugene.) They collaborated with Barbet Schroeder twice. Most memorable was the outstanding hippies-in-New Guinea picture La Vall\u00e9e, which begat the 1972 Floyd album Obscured by Clouds (that term being what was used on maps for where the film\u2019s journey led.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Summer 1969, however, saw the release of More, a film little remembered today but quite a success in Europe at the time, dealing with disillusioned students, sex and drug addiction. (A German post-grad shacks up with a sexy American gal in Paris, and they both escape to Ibiza before it fell to a phalanx of techno clubs.)<\/p>\n<figure class=\"element element-video fig--has-shares fig--narrow-caption fig--no-caption\" data-canonical-url=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VPSgl9Us4B4\" data-component=\"video-inbody-embed\">\n<div class=\"embed-video-wrapper u-responsive-ratio u-responsive-ratio--hd\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VPSgl9Us4B4?wmode=opaque&amp;feature=oembed\" width=\"460\" height=\"259\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"block-share block-share--article hide-on-mobile \" data-link-name=\"block share\"><a class=\"rounded-icon block-share__item block-share__item--facebook js-blockshare-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/share?app_id=180444840287&amp;href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DVPSgl9Us4B4&amp;picture=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-link-name=\"social facebook\"><span class=\"u-h\">Facebook<\/span><\/a><a class=\"rounded-icon block-share__item block-share__item--twitter js-blockshare-link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DVPSgl9Us4B4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-link-name=\"social twitter\"><span class=\"u-h\">Twitter<\/span><\/a><a class=\"rounded-icon block-share__item block-share__item--pinterest js-blockshare-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?description=&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DVPSgl9Us4B4&amp;media=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-link-name=\"social pinterest\"><span class=\"u-h\">Pinterest<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The soundtrack to More has some typical instrumental jams of the period, a tune called The Nile Song which, quite out of character for Pink Floyd, borders on Stooges-like heavy rock, and a lovely ballad featuring bongoes called Cymbaline. Written by Roger Waters but sung by David Gilmour, Cymbaline pops up in the film when a sexy 60s chick gets out of her bed in her Paris apartment, puts on a record, changes her clothes, shouts \u201cGroovy!\u201d and rolls a joint. For those who fetishize the hippy era, this scene essentially slams the pleasure centers of the brain with a ball-peen hammer. And amid all the nature imagery in the lyrics there are the lines: \u201cThe leaves are heavy round your feet \/ You hear the thunder of the train \/ Suddenly it strikes you \/ That they\u2019re moving into range\/ And Doctor Strange is always changing size.\u201d Far out. If Doctor Strange is cool enough to be in this scene, he\u2019s cool enough for anything.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"element element-video fig--has-shares fig--narrow-caption fig--no-caption\" data-canonical-url=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ietkuUZwjpU\" data-component=\"video-inbody-embed\">\n<div class=\"embed-video-wrapper u-responsive-ratio u-responsive-ratio--hd\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ietkuUZwjpU?wmode=opaque&amp;feature=oembed\" width=\"460\" height=\"259\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"block-share block-share--article hide-on-mobile \" data-link-name=\"block share\"><a class=\"rounded-icon block-share__item block-share__item--facebook js-blockshare-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/share?app_id=180444840287&amp;href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DietkuUZwjpU&amp;picture=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-link-name=\"social facebook\"><span class=\"u-h\">Facebook<\/span><\/a><a class=\"rounded-icon block-share__item block-share__item--twitter js-blockshare-link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DietkuUZwjpU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-link-name=\"social twitter\"><span class=\"u-h\">Twitter<\/span><\/a><a class=\"rounded-icon block-share__item block-share__item--pinterest js-blockshare-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?description=&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DietkuUZwjpU&amp;media=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-link-name=\"social pinterest\"><span class=\"u-h\">Pinterest<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">It\u2019s a long way from Barbet Schroeder to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the new Doctor Strange does its best to represent its roots. Its first music cues go more for the joke (Shining Star by \u2013 dig this \u2013 Earth, Wind &amp; Fire) but when there\u2019s a transition that needs a little oomph \u2013 right before the good doctor has his car crash that leads him on his eastern quest \u2013 there\u2019s the feedback wail from Pink Floyd\u2019s Interstellar Overdrive.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"element element-rich-link element--thumbnail element-rich-link--upgraded\" data-component=\"rich-link\" data-link-name=\"rich-link-3 | 3\">\n<div class=\"rich-link tone-news--item \">\n<div class=\"rich-link__container\">\n<div class=\"rich-link__image-container u-responsive-ratio\"><img src=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/3f1aa91364e7d1faab1809a8c908d1864c077cdf\/0_828_3624_2173\/master\/3624.jpg?w=460&amp;q=55&amp;auto=format&amp;usm=12&amp;fit=max&amp;s=51222b50be0860d87c14e52473f97031\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"rich-link__header\">\n<h1 class=\"rich-link__title\"><a class=\"rich-link__link\">Doctor Strange: psychedelic visuals, political whitewash and a magical Cumberbatch \u2013 discuss with spoilers<\/a><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">One of Floyd\u2019s earliest tunes, this upbeat instrumental rocker clocks in at close to 10 minutes on their debut album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. In live performances, it could stretch out even longer (see the 17-minute version on the Tonite Let\u2019s All Make Love In London \u2026 Plus release). It\u2019s a psychedelic jam that has no business being in a movie aimed at a mainstream teen and preteen market, but if you only hear the first minute or two it sounds like perfectly serviceable guitar rock. (Might I suggest listening to the whole thing, though, especially on headphones, as by the end the washes of noise fade from one side of your skull to the other.)<\/p>\n<figure class=\"element element-video fig--has-shares fig--narrow-caption fig--no-caption\" data-canonical-url=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xaK4r0pQaJ0\" data-component=\"video-inbody-embed\">\n<div class=\"embed-video-wrapper u-responsive-ratio u-responsive-ratio--hd\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xaK4r0pQaJ0?wmode=opaque&amp;feature=oembed\" width=\"460\" height=\"259\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"block-share block-share--article hide-on-mobile \" data-link-name=\"block share\"><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/film\/filmblog\/2016\/nov\/02\/doctor-strange-psychedelic-dna-pink-floyd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.theguardian.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pink Floyd &#8211; Interstellar Overdrive &#8211; 1967 Why Doctor Strange shares its psychedelic DNA with Pink Floyd Marvel\u2019s latest blockbuster has a curious number of musical connections that go way back to the comic\u2019s 60s origins Benedict Cumberbatch in Doctor Strange and Pink Floyd. \u201cOpen your eye!,\u201d Tilda Swinton\u2019s version of the Ancient One intones [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":""},"categories":[33,49,47],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":12483,"url":"https:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/funny\/the-tosser\/","url_meta":{"origin":10517,"position":0},"title":"THE TOSSER","date":"December 28, 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"Is it possible to do a blog post by tossing a coin?
