  1. lol dave makes the worst decisions ever
  2. put my order in. can't go wrong with these. unless warp fucks up the pressing or something.
  3. more shameless plug for my phantasia playlist. For those who don't want to sift through every release:
  4. love when a mod on a music discussion forum has to be frogmarched to actually discuss music
  5. to me it looks like easily the worst PTA film. like an expensive excuse to induct PSH's kid into the hollywood rape factory
  6. Had the pleasure of seeing Benedetta today at an advance screening before it drops in December. There were some stuffy catholics protesting outside too, which of course everyone was taking pictures of, thus generating more press for the film. Maybe they were hired by IFC lol. Very, very entertaining picture. Definitely less satirical than previous verhoeven outings but this definitely served up some laughs and some steamy scenes between the two leading ladies. No major spoilers but let's just say a virgin mary statuette may or may not be put in places it should or shouldn't be put into. I suppose you could force a reading onto the film where Benedetta is Verhoeven himself, and the film is an examination of his career as he looks back now at the age of 83. A main character who steadfastly believes in themselves and their unusual visions so powerfully that their zealous self-belief brings pleasure and success but also strife and misery for others. I was expecting the film to skewer the church brutally, but it's actually much more nuanced. Efira is totally convincing and also very attractive clothed or nude - great performance. Charlotte Rampling was also excellent. Great cast in general. A few sort of clunky CGI moments that maybe exposed the limited budget, but nothing embarrassing. I think I still liked Elle better, but this one is totally engrossing and entertaining start to finish. Verhoeven is quite simply goated.
  7. kind of obsessed with their latest album Charmed. Curious what others make of it.
  8. shameless plug but here is a 9 hour playlist of my favorites through the Spectrum series:
  9. lol sometimes I’m reading a thread and a post makes me laugh and I realize I wrote it. Remember when noomi rapace gives birth to a freakish alien thing in Prometheus? that scene was really great
  10. why did i say this? i wasn't listening loud enough
  11. thinking about that hour-long electric people and crying tears of unrealized joy
  12. another great aril track from that era that was on an francois K compilation or something.
