dom used to do some pretty intense shows

Great White Death is an awful, awful album. Sooo ridiculous. I could see you getting a bit of a kick out of it though... and many consider it a power electronics masterpiece. It's got lyrical gems like "I'm cumming in you aaaaaaasssssss!" repeat x 20 --mildly amusing but gets old pretty fast. He has been making music for another 20+ years since then, so maybe he's branched out a bit. I like to think he's just releasing that same album over and over again. The idea of someone making a career out of that tickles me pink.
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.

Dexter is utter dreck. The finale was shit. I don't know if I'd bother watching the next season, I don't even know why I've kept watching it this far. Is the next season the last one? Please tell me it's the last one.
yes. luckily, it will all be over soon, then we can pretend that it only went up to 4 seasons

Kwaidan - not bad - 4 short japanese ghost stories over 3 hours, so decent pacing and doesnt feel over long - some absolutely beautiful set design/matte painting/cinematography collabs
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?

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

it's your fault for not telling us about it

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

i really disliked amer. it tried too hard to achieve an artsy take on films that were against artsy films

<p>hilarious dexter finale, now that the completely pointless Quinn/prostitute subplot is over, he's going to be the next one on the force to play cat and mouse with dexter. Shit is just so ridiculously predictable it's not even funny. At this point the show would redeem itself if Dexter went postal at miami metro homicide wearing laguerta's corpse as a human shield tied to him with rope weilding an oozie and him and Deb fuck naked in a pool of everyone's blood on the floor of the police station. </p>
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.

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)

didn't watch it in 3d, but that's not really required

Prometheus-the movie was so bad that i just decided to stop watching in the first half hour. wasn't going to waste more of my precious time.
this is exactly how i felt. remarkably, they're making part 2 because the first was so successful

i was coming here to post this. definitely the most thugged out christmas version of any song i've heard

booooooring

excellent film and basically a clinic in technical know-how and editing, but the story dragged just a little bit. 8/10

Also, I thought of this earlier today - there's really opposite ends of a spectrum of artists explicitly referencing the past: those who emulate it exactly with new compositions and those that extensively manipulate existing samples.
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

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.

can't believe they make money from this stuff
what am i doing with my life
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
-
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.

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

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
