  1. Hugo - 9/10 what a great film, watched this in 3D and loved it. Kingsley, Cohen, and Christopher Lee were excellent. CG was great as well, it really brought me back to my film school days.

     

    you had cg in film school?

    The Next Ghost Box Study Series 7" and download, Number 9: "Projections", is due out on 28th June.

     

    New York's Listening Center enrol for the Study Series and present a powerful analogue electronic epic, Titoli. Pye Corner Audio appear on the B side and take Listening Center's "Town of Tomorrow" for a spin across the dusty dancefloor of a deserted dance hall.

    this sounds really really really good

  4. various artists (?) - applied music vol.1 - science & nature: jon brooks nerds out with a library music style album for documentary films packaged similar to bruton releases but sounding more like something from either apollo sound or pastoral parry music.

     

    the focus group - elektrik karousel: hands down the best focus group release, and (imo) slightly removed in terms of concept from the other ghost box releases. also, no logotones this time.

  5. The more I look into Lucas and his story the more I feel disappointed. He made an amazing film THX1138 but then made the Star Wars films which messed him up. Why couldn't he have continued to make films like THX1138? Could have been amazing.

     

    because those kind of movies don't make as much money as star wars. and i think star wars was something he wanted to do. i know he wanted david lynch to direct 'return of the jedi' but lynch just couldn't get it and told him he should direct it himself, but lucas doesn't like directing. similarly, he didn't want to direct indiana jones even though he created that character.

     

    and even though i've never been a fan of star wars, i don't think he messed it up. he created it. he can (or could) do anything with it, because he created that universe.

  6. I made a promise to myself and the universe to punch Tim Burton in the face after seeing his Willy Wonka raping. Luckily I could not a give a shit about the Oz series.

     

     

    why did you watch the movie? did you think it would be good? tim burton has never been a good director, so why do you blame him for doing what he inevitably has to do- make a shit film.

     

    i personally like george lucas a lot. he created a film that i don't like but made it successful. i think the worst decision he's made thus far has been to sell star wars to disney, but making shit films and getting a bunch of people to go watch them is genius. i can't imagine any director not envying him.

  7.  

    Great Gatsby - What happens when you give Baz Luhrmann too much CGI budget, old spor'. Nothing new here, just a shitty assortment of Luhrmann tropes already hashed out in the last four films, but this time round it's drowning in gobs of that slimy, soul-removing CGI icing.

     

    *opening scene of extravagant party*

    *cover of bad pop song juxtaposed with historical setting*

    *well-dressed, beautiful people supposedly in love but instead are stiff and hyper-sterile*

    *barely any sex that is arousing*

    *actually zero sex*

    *why is there no sex*

    *close-up of leo's puffy, "crying is for poor people" face*

     

     

    *EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: SHAWN "JAY-Z" CARTER*

     

     

    if you saw that film in theaters then you just help them earn their money back which means they will work again on something similar: like jay z is already producing a remake of annie

  8. 'blurred and suffering with tears' is 380gb

    'like a wall in which an insect lives and gnaws' is 3.9tb

     

    both as 192kb mp3

     

    they also have a song titled '287n' which is 87,708,958,333,333hrs 20min (87 trillion hrs or just under 10 years) and 1.3zettabytes. i think that's currently their longest track

    madlib's ventures off and attempts to cover a wide spectrum of jazz music styles- all seem to focus on beat (not even one grand or upright piano driven song?) and hammond organ with heavy bass treatment- you know what that means right? they all sound a little too similar despite setting out to sound different (with exception to 'slave riot' by the young jazz rebels)

    madlib expands his fictitious jazz universe with more outfits that help elaborate the whole sound direction type style of playing live instruments and blurring the lines betwix one man band sound and collaboration thing (listen to the two songs by the jahari massaba unit for comparison). the linear notes are peppered with hints of a few of these outfits' independent records which i gather are more about resurrecting damaged memories of a record collectors fetish of lusting over possible treasures rather than an accurate index. the music is good but the dress is better

    the earth is being invaded by martians (and their hot dames) but they make one terrible mistake: they decide to start with mexico. bad idea guys, coz that's ground zero for santo (slaughterer of martians, monsters, vampire women etc.) a royal ass-whopping (the likes you've likely never seen) is swiftly delivered against these moronic aliens. their women are spared the violence though.

    this film is based on a true story about how new york shitty became the hell hole it is today- run by a marauding band of good for nothings known as riders prospecting the land in search of victims. crazy good and a remarkably accurate account of the future
