  1. excellent film and basically a clinic in technical know-how and editing, but the story dragged just a little bit. 8/10
  2. 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
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. have you guys heard of this (new?) genre? basically, sound files from 80s television or cd roms featuring both library or soft jazz elevator muzik with minimal cut & paste, loop or mash up edits packaged as cassette tapes. http://youtu.be/os8J-EBPVk0 http://beerontherug.bandcamp.com/ http://newdreamsltd.tumblr.com/ http://vektroid.tumblr.com/ anyone wanna make an album of this stuff? i feel like i can be the new mozart of this genre

  7. members of an extreme palestinian terrorist group (black september) kidnap members of the jewish olympic team during the 1972 olympics in munich. it's a documentary and it's actually very good. 8/10
  8. a stupid and badly cast film that tries hard to have a good moral but is misses the mark by throwing around too many jokes and corny musical numbers 2/10 directed by one half of the duo that did blair witch- so of course he cannot res ist some shaky camera moments and, of course, he completely forgot to have a story (or a point) for this mess 0/10 a fun little movie from robert rodriguez that takes advantage of the exploitation genre to deliver as many verbal shocks and bloody violence as it can cram into 1.5 hours. 5/10
  9. part of the hefeweizen winter variety pack for their pyramid brand. a smooth and sweet stout with a mixture of coffee, black licorice and dark chocolate tastes.
  10. ^^ i'm curious about that film having watched leos carax's previous film pola x and enjoyed it
  11. excellent documentary about the moral panic brought about by a slew of films with the ability to corrupt the general public. if you lived in the u.k in the 80s, this will bring back fond memories

    kinda cool book. 3rd time reading it. basically, a bunch of humans are sent to this dyson sphere shaped like a helix to look for a new planet for humans to exist on- then they come across the star wars type universe without "the force"
  13. if you lack curiosity about fellow humans just because "they speak another language" and you need some hack director to give you permission to expand your horizons then you are indeed a moron. i can appreciate that some people may not have an interest in film and usually prefer to hear from someone they consider "an expert" to make decisions for them- but this film's target audience (even by industry standards) is for males under the age of 30 so these kids aren't acting on such a conscious level. it's one of those visual stimulants where they see "QT's name on the marquee" and they can already anticipate promised violence.
  14. means the distributors required his name to be in the credits to ensure morons go watch the film so they can get a return on the investors money. in 10 years time, they'll just start writing "hey, quentin taratino's friends made this film and he said you should watch it lol"
  15. not exactly a film; more a "how to" guide to beating home video games on the atari vcs, atari 5200, colecovision and vectrex console systems and narrated by lunkhead ginger philip m. wiswell (america's foremost video game expert). the ost is made up of sounds that would've turned early warp releases into liquid
  16. everything i know about this band is negative. including their muzik and fake attitude. i'm still waiting for when everyone realizes how fake they are

    cool, first hand testimony of how jim jones managed to convince a bunch of everyday people to join him to build a peaceful utopia out in the jungle then finally drink from a vat of cyanide laced kool aid because the united states government was onto him.
