  1. one of the best revenge/betrayal films starring ass-kicking expert ninja killer sho kosugi and mega-80s hottie ashley "yum" ferrare. 8 out of 10 ninjas
  2. if anyone here is in or can make it to austin texas, the annual sux by suxwest 3 will be on march 17th and promises 40 acts on 2 stages delivering more than 10hours of noise if anyone likes stupid noise, i can't recommend breakdancing ronald reagan enough. this is the guy that pushed record then left his house for a day and released the silence as an album. he will also be performing @ sux
  3. a multi-layered art-haus film that uses of dialectical conflict to tell his story of unbridled capitalism. polarities such as streetwise beach girl - naive farm boy, brash new marketing ideas - conservative ideas, hard work - play at work, bikini on - bikini off are presented. a cinema classic that won 6 awards for bodacious bodies, hot boobies and best dramatic actor (kristi ducati)
  4. speaking of whitehouse, you guys should check out maurizio bianchi. i like some of his music though he has a very clinical approach to noise one of my favorite acts was the gerogerigegege. these guys took the art of concept themed records to new levels that were head-damagingly weird
  5. yes- around the mid-90s william bennett was experimenting more and more with afrikan and haitian sounds and he started to add them to the whitehouse albums starting with bird seed. imo you really can't go wrong with any whitehouse album- but i personally never got into the early 90s releases like hallogen, dictator and cruise. i really think you should give great white death another chance because i can't stress enough how good an album it is. i read a really good review of the album that summed it up pretty well. it was written by a woman who had gone to see a whitehouse show. the entire time, some guy was rubbing up against her and feeling her up. everyone else just stood around with their fingers in their ears completely ignoring what was happening. when the show was done, the guy just walked off like nothing happened. she thought of it as part of the show
  6. dom used to do some pretty intense shows
  7. you cannot be serious. 'great white death' is the best whitehouse album. a good starting place would be the compilation 'another crack of the white whip' if you can find it. it's a pretty hard album to find but it serves as a good introduction to their oeuvre.
  8. check this out. it's one of my favorite noise releases for this year
  9. yes. luckily, it will all be over soon, then we can pretend that it only went up to 4 seasons
  10. my favorite story is the 2nd one- with the snow witch. that set design and matte painting during the entire thing (particularly the tree cutting scenes) was beyond amazing. which one was your favorite one?
  11. way too many "oh that was only a dream" and "argh, i'm hallucinating again" for my taste but i appreciated the 80s babes eye candy. i give it a y for yummy
  12. it's your fault for not telling us about it
  13. it was more the filmmakers themselves who were more about exploiting themes established in psycho and basically taking things over the top (with their own sense of morbid humor). and i think amer works best if you know nothing (or very little) about giallo itself otherwise it's basically a really bad attempt at giallo these are some of the classics http://youtu.be/XI2Ajn2SWFg
  14. i really disliked amer. it tried too hard to achieve an artsy take on films that were against artsy films
  15. yeah, i'm not sure what the hell happened to the writers but this season felt like they completely half assed everything- from the ukranian mob storyline that was just meant to waste a few episodes to quinn's completely forgotten storyline. even masuka seems to have been underwritten. another problem for me was the maria storyline. it just felt a little too much deux ex machina with how that conclusion happened. at this point, dexter can do no wrong since anyone that even slightly begins to question him is eliminated since it's just better for everyone to be a puppet and continue with their near maniacal loyalty to him and his sister.
  16. this dude max renn (james woods) views an illegal satellite broadcast show that's basically snuff film and starts hallucinating major before things go completely bonkers. cronenberg gets 10 points just for including deborah harry in all her 80s glory (yum yum)
  17. this is exactly how i felt. remarkably, they're making part 2 because the first was so successful
  18. i was coming here to post this. definitely the most thugged out christmas version of any song i've heard
  19. excellent film and basically a clinic in technical know-how and editing, but the story dragged just a little bit. 8/10
  20. i totally agree with this- i myself thought it was kinda interesting in that the "artists" doing vaporwave are (in their own way) doing exactly what most of the hauntology guys are doing except their source of inspiration is different as well as their method. in a way, what vaporwave is doing is somewhat pointless because they don't manipulate or recreate the music they sample in any way, and because it's in most cases library music from the mid 80s, it would just be easier if you enjoy the sound to get the actual music they "sampling". what i really like about this genre is the idea- this tv/video sound that's stuck in the past. what i don't like is the kwality of the sound which (i suppose) is meant to sound like that to drive that 2nd generation video/tv broadcast idea home
  21. a great exercise in recreating the sort of home video one would've come across after mining the salvation army (or any second hand shop for that matter) vhs section.
  22. i think the people making this muzik made this exact comment as soon as they saw the people making witch-house quitting their day jobs
