Actually I kinda did 15yrs ago, but I had serotonin poisoning at the time

Scary, I am very sorry you had to endure that.

Yeah, that reminds me of a documentary about a "snake specialist" who went to the indian jungle, into a temple ruin to meet and cuddle a huge ancient king cobra. She even kissed the snake on the mouth. Just seeing it on the screen was almost unbearable, all my instincts kept screaming "RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN YOU IDIOT!", lol.

Also liked both but liked the series better, which is not surprising as it was a much bigger project, so they could polish it much more.

Jodorowsky hates video games

I would assume that he is just very old school and video games are probably not his kind of thing privately but then I would also like to remind you that Albino

spoilerin the end changes the mind numbing videogame industry to produce games that have players meditate and reach a higher state of mind to master the game.
So maybe Jodo just hates what he would consider bad videogames?

bizarrely fascinated by castration.

And not just castration, any kind of mutilation. Just think of the punishment scenes in Technopriests and the coming of age rituals in Metabarons. Even worse, don't forget rape, the dude is obsessed with rape. I love his worldbuilding with all my heart from when I was a child but those graphic violence, rape and mutilation scenes all over the place are so over the top it's a little cringe, especially in the projects which he did without Moebius.

I agree that LEO was probably a strong influence, just like Moebius and Alien. I also think they really found their own style with the ecosystem they created, by how they mixed different influences and then added their own twist.

Yes, exactly that snake from the Rod of Asclepius! :) After getting to know one of them personally, I understand why they were chosen as a part of the symbol of healing and medicine. Compared to the other snake species that lived on our land -mostly adders and grass snakes- Aesculapians behave noticeably calmer around humans, don't panic easily and are non aggressive. Because of that, to me as a kid they seemed special and even friendly in a way. At the same time I was afraid of all the other snakes, when I occasionally met them on my way home from school. That was despite the fact that Aeskulaps grow to a much bigger size than the other snakes in that biome. An old village lady told me then that you can even tame them by placing a saucer of milk on the veranda and sitting a little closer to the feeding snake every evening. I never even considered doing that though, had way too much respect for the animal.

In contact with humans, they can be rather tame, possibly due to their cryptic coloration keeping them hidden within their natural environment. They usually disappear and hide, but if cornered they may sometimes stand their ground and try to intimidate their opponent, sometimes with a chewing-like movement of the mouth and occasionally biting.

The English wiki article on them is quite interesting.
