Movie 43 - Lame on every level imaginable. Marginally better than Sound Of My Voice due to the absence of hipsters. 1/10 Bullhead - Nice original premise, unpredictable. Could have used a little more intensity at the finale. 7/10 To The Wonder - I guess one day when i can understand this properly it could be life affirming. Until then, five point five out of ten The Road - Don't know why it's taken me so long to get round to watching this. 8.5/10 Godfather Part 3 - A bit of a waste. It was extremely clumsy in parts, especially the last hour where it seemed like they were trying to fill up time for the hell of it. Held together mainly by the people who featured in the first two and Andy Garcia. The rest of them (a lot of the old timers) felt they'd just walked in off a Walter Matheau comedy. 6/10

It was an a bad misjudgement to wreck the thread like that, especially without any comment on the movies. It seemed quite ego driven ''Look at the cinema i'm watching, it's very avant garde. I don't even need to write any text, i'll just leave these massive screenshots for you to digest, while i swagger off into the sunset. I'll check in with you guys later, bye'' Behind The Candelabra 6.5/10 Wreck It Ralph 8.5/10 Devil 5/10 Being Flynn 7/10 Room 237 6/10 The Bay 5.5/10 What Richard Did 2/10 (Ghastly, lazy film for fans of Sound Of My Voice) The Last Stand 7/10 Bullet To The Head 5/10 V/H/S/2 7.5/10 (Let down by a poor final segment but redeemed by a penultimate segment which must rank up there with some of the best horror cinema in the last 10 years)

After visiting the dentist a year ago I keep flossing the same gap between the upper right molar (about 2 from the back). i think I've flossed a vinyl groove into the tooth. Ended up with an accumulation of frayed floss jammed in the cavity between tooth and gum which was there for almost 3 weeks. Couldn't get it out. As you know its pretty hard to see whats going on between those teeth at the back. I had tried to floss it out to begin with, but that just led to a build up of more frayed floss in the cavity. Not comfortable. Anyway, eventually poked it out with a needle at work, it was a pea sized ball of yellowing, decaying floss. As you can imagine, it didn't smell too good. But what a relief to get it outta there.

Boards of Canada Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest
Schlitze replied to Alzado's topic in Boards of Canada
I've been listening to it on headphones and found the mastering perfectly in sync to such an extent Cold Earth could easily follow Music Is Math -

Also, i love Jacquard Causway but i think it goes on too long, where as others are too short. -

I was completely indifferent to TH on first listen. I listened to it as a whole on that broadcast thing, first time i've listened to an album that way. I now love the whole album as an entity -
He's too lazy to commit fully to making an extremely good film. So you watch the film and then 24 hours later you're like 'meh' by which time he's already making another one. I liked the fight scenes in Haywire and the nude lady scenes at the start of Magic Mike but he does so much boring stuff .... its not a great viewing experience. I switched off The Good German after 20 minutes because it was too shit. Im watching Candelabra tonight, i think it will be pretty good. Interesting subject matter, flamboyant characters are entertaining

Hot diggity dang. Just saw this. Will Smith is currently in the UK promoting his son. He stopped off to hook up with some Premiership legends and show of his kicking skills. But things didn't go according to plan as at 0:56 Smith did one of the worst kicks in the history of sport. A clearly mortified Smith immediately uses humour to try and get through what has just happened, but it's an uncomfortable moment for everyone in that place.

I guess these robots are organic creatures

The Giorgio Moroder track was such a wasted opportunity. To have him give a voice over like that is just, well, shit. Must do better, robots

For sure. Heres the best impersonation

LOL, no my post was actual surface level reality. I joined a golf club yesterday and I am now a poor white man eating bread and drinking cider Also, did a bit of looking at some of Niles work with Chic yesterday. i want a song with Chic's sweet ass bassline intro for 'Everybody Dance' running all the way through duration of the track.

I wasn't a fan of the track 'Lose Yourself To Dance' at all. But it's been going on in my head a lot while I've been out golfing the last couple of nights. i don't even like the track. Why wouldn't a track i like pop into my mind during the golfing silences instead of one i skipped through after one listen? Does Nile Rogers guitar loop hold so much resonance that it can infiltrate the suggestable mind of the casual golfer? Or is it that vocoder? Just listened to it again. i'm now a bona fida fan of this song.

Touch reminds me of Paul Williams' songs on the 'Phantom Of The Paradise' soundtrack. He always did the catchy songs from the films of the 70's. Someone said his vocal contribution should have been replaced by Meatloaf but that wouldn't have worked. Meat is naff to the point where no-one will touch him with a bargepole, not even BT. Theres no way back for Meat, he's burned all his bridges by being a loudmouth shit and a flabby cheese merchant. Touch is nothing more than an ode to the aforementioned low budget horror flick I think. Theres too many misses on this album. Only track that I've really been listening to is Instant Crush.

Cloudline is still the best of the bunch still for me, its holding up nicely, i think mainly because eidetic casein was my favourite on Confield and this is the only thing I've heard from Ae since which vaguely resembles that sound. Deconstruction and rebuild of beat, the way the beat is layered against everything else is going on around it. At times it's like the beat feels tempo is its worst enemy and they're facing off against eachother. It's just a nice mix, and brilliant track progression throughout. Flawless.

I dwnl'd three tracks from soulseek last night to have a little taster listen and they were so bad i just deleted as fakes. Moroder one, Casablancas one and some other one. i'm 90% sure they were fakes so it's all good!

Thats pretty harsh, i'd give Iron man at least a 6

Eli Roth's in the process of editing his Cannibal Holocaust homage ''The Green Inferno''. It's another film using his tried and tested formula of having some American college kid ass-clowns out of their comfort zone and getting tortured to death, instead of redneck hicks or eastern europeans this time it's an Amazonian tribes. The group of students are flying out to do a money raising campaign for the tribe. They're all listing to Skrillex on their iPod touch's waiting for the drop, only thing that drops is their plane...out of the sky...into the Amazonian hordes. Watched yesterday, The Hunt which was another really good piece of drama, best film i've seen in a while actually. Then Essential Killing featuring the notorious method actor/butt monkey Vince Gallo as a beastly terrorist on the run in the snow. It was left too open to interpretation. We're not given enough background on the guys taliban training to give a damn about him, infact he's painted as a uncompassionate brute who kills innocent people. So it's difficult to dwell too much on his slow lingering death. As a story of survival out in the colds it's quite watchable (the scenery's nice), but as a portrait of a man (which is what i think they were aiming for) tis completely devoid of substance. Then watched Dark Skies which i quite liked in the way I liked Super 8, aliens called ''the greys'' targeted a money stricken suburb family and started messing with their heads in quite a cool way. More could have been done with the home surveillance angle but i think if the Grey's ever did visit earth this is how they would probably behave. Theres also a nice cameo by JK Simmons as an alien expert, he's pretty damn convincing. I also started watching From Beyond for the first time last night, the colours on this DVD reissue are translucent, its bringing out the best in the Bravia...i'll go and watch the rest just now and see how things pan out. Combs seems to be the victim this time instead of the instigator (Re-Animator). The acting is pretty overstated compared to Gallo's earlier performance. Oh, also, after watching The Hunt, watched the first episode of Hannibal on the tivo, the guys a great actor.

Spy Game. I really loved that movie when it came out. i'd love to see a version of it where the editing was completely slowed down. But it's a film which comes at you, straight out of the traps.. with Redford jumping in his expensive retro Porsche sports car and racing to CIA Headquarters to sort out a mess, He utters the immortal line ''Look, if i'm walkin into a shitstorm I gotta know which way the winds blowin''' Watched Ruby Sparks last night, it was OK, it would have been fantastic if Charlie Kaufman didn't exist and it was treading new ground. i'm not saying it wasn't good, its just that it was exploring ideas which have already seeped into the popular culture and created some hipsters amongst other things.

His acting was unique, the scenes with him and Hoffman were a bizarre blend of bravado and potent paint thinner.
