  1. this is what i thought too, and dayvan cowboy right? dayvan cowboy was the single (with both the video and ep appearance on Trans Canada EP), but I don't remember it coming out early. The timeline as I remember it was: OSTRE and SAI played/leaked in the days leading up to TCH --> TCH ---> Dayvan Cowboy video with Kittinger footage --> Trans Canada Hwy EP there was also the music video with the porn footage at the end, I forget when that came out...was it after the TCH EP, or before? Mind not working so good these days...
  2. everyone is saying that TCH had one pre-release track, OSTRE, but actually I remember Satellite Anthem Icarus was also released early...was played on the radio or something. I had both tracks saved to my hd well before release. I would expect at least one more track to surface before the launch date.
  3. it is really nice, and subtle. It could be them. But I hope it's not, as even for an interlude track, there's not much there.
  4. don't think it's real, purely for the reason that it makes sense that a faker would choose one of the shortest possible interlude tracks. that said, it's kinda nice. I could almost imagine BoC making it, though if it is BoC, I'm disappointed. But it's no worse than the garbage-y BoC-ripoff-music from the TH promo LPs. I would never have figured those were legit, they sounded like a cover band trying to imitate the intro to Everything you do is a balloon.
  5. nooooo.... burger must have a bloody pink center, medium rare all the way baby (applies to both steaks and burgers) the solution to fears of prions, or super bacteria, or whatever else you may have on your mind is either: a) get over it, or b) grind your own chuck. yea delet u fuckin scrub how dare u enjoy burgers watever way u like also if its not 81:19 lean:fat ill fuckin throw it out and say MAKE ME A PROPER BURGER U NOOB burger elitists 4 life yes, you read my mind.

  7. yeah I felt same. Wasn't too bad, but mixed poorly.Lord only knows how she became a BoC fan, though.
  8. I love the film too, but it loses steam a bit at the end. One thing I've never understood is the whole insinuation/reveal of Malcolm being gay at the end...was that connected to the TV show in some way? (there is a tv show, right...?) The scene with the general adding up the troop numbers on the kids' play calculator is one of the funnier scenes in any film... Also...
  9. years ago I did mushrooms with a cute girl I had just met in Amsterdam. Strangely, it turned out we had gone to the same High School (she was a few years younger than me). She then asked me with utmost seriousness "So, we both had to read the Great Gatsby right, tell me what did you think, did you like it or not?" as if this was the most profound thing one person could ask another. I split the difference and said "yeah, it was ok I guess." I think she was looking for a more emphatic opinion; I didn't score. I've always wondered what the "right" answer would have been... Damn you Gatsby!
  10. I did notice his name (which I promptly forgot) was mentioned twice in the intro.
  11. The Place Beyond (or was it Between?) the Pines: Well, don't know what to make of this one. It was certainly ambitious. I find it really hard to take Ryan Gosling seriously, maybe it's his smooth, pouty man-baby face, or those "feeding Gosling cereal" gifs, or that Funny or Die "acting like Gosling" bit. Or maybe it's because every time I see him onscreen I think of our very own smooth-faced Canadian, Essines, and can't stop myself from seeing "Essines riding his motorcycle" and "Essines crying in the church." The film definitely managed to be tense, but I wasn't emotionally moved at any point. I found the flaws with the film made me want to watch Blue Velvet again. Was there any meaning to using "Pines" in the title? It's going for a pan-generational, ostensibly Biblical kind of cycle of violence thing, you think it could have done with a few more "trees blowing in the wind" shots. "Lynch would have aced this" I kept thinking. For a film that seems to take place in just a few small towns, it really lacks a sense of place. So what's it left with? The cross-generational concept, which, by the third act, becomes pretty implausible. Maybe a more lyrical director could have pulled it off, I don't know. It had a few great shots, I guess - I loved the shot where Ray Liotta leads him down the dark country road and the scene becomes illuminated by the read taillights, with the sun going down between the trees. That shot was better than most of the rest of the film. Really don't know what to think about it, in the end I think it's just undone by too many Hollywood cliches (the touch of having the photo in the guy's wallet in the end made me want to projectile vomit). Er......5/10.
  12. Isn't one of them by Awepittance? The Eternal Autumn one (or am I misremembering the title, it's been so many years....might be confusing who made it too!). Yeah I'm getting senile.
  13. I'm just saying money corrupts, makes people crazy...look at Dr. Phil and his ilk. I guess Ellen's ok, dunno. I don't watch them but I'd watch this guy.
  14. "we figured she met her demise". "I'm a christian. An american. I'm just like you. we bleed the same blood, put our pants on the same way." "Have some cojones. That's all it's about, cojones, on this planet" Love this guy. Someone should give him a talk show or something. It'd end up corrupting him eventually, in all likelihood, but he deserves it. Real talk.
  15. i can tell you this: all content for the game is finished. It's basically ready to go.
  16. didn't he make the general too? That was sort of his "return to form". It didn't leave much of an impression with me, but it was good I guess.
  17. change it to comic sans, then nuke the whole place from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
