  1. The Congress Reaaaally sweet animation, and a nice sci-fi plot to boot! Buttttt it just doesn't add up, and omits explaining things till it's too late and you've stopped caring anymore...had so much potential, but ultimately it just doesn't gel together Worth a watch for the animation/10 but probably a 2/5 film
  2. thanking you once again, phling - i'm sure it wont be the last time
  3. Yo - one last thing (for now) I cant really get my head around the idea of the pattern banks - is it just a destructive editing method in which whatever bank number is open, for example E7, is constantly being 'saved'? So let's say i open an empty bank, or rather clear a bank and make it empty, then i fill it with a few lines - once I change to another bank, what i just did is then preserved in the last bank? I find myself just taking 'snapshots' in the global menu once i'm happy with a sequence, it just feels like more of a logical 'saving' method to me, i've already lost a few sweet sequences from changing bank numbers :/
  4. Boom! What a turn around - thanking you, sir.
  5. Little Lord Faulteroy + Timothy Forward = great stuff
  6. hey gents, Just got a MD UW, she's a dream! Having a little issue with MIDI machines - I can get them talking with my gear, however the Machinedrum is sending it EVERY machines MIDI info, i.e. lets say i have 10 tracks playing various steps - each one of these is sending it's respective MIDI note to the Minitaur as well as the MIDI machine stepped MIDI notes that i've plotted into the sequencer...it actually can sound pretty sweet at times, but obviously not what I want I'm sure there must be a simple solution to this that i'm missing...?
  7. I can agree on the shock level. Watched it last year with friends and we all had a laugh at it, enjoyed it, but it still manages to shock even today which is pretty ridiculous. I was fine with most of the film but the chicken scene was still a buzzkill. You can talk about the ethics and how it was done (as john waters did in a little talking to the camera segment that was included in our version of the film) but straight up that crossed the line for what i want to see in a film and only upset me really. Couldn't agree more - it really crossed a line into hyper-reality, the scene just felt too 'real' and depressed the hell out of me Which one? the de niro one. aw man, such a shame you didn't like it - I loved it. Definitely goes on way too long, but I thought it was a good ole' genre film executed with a unique style and atmosphere. At least you got to have loved the is scene where Deniro's smoking in the cinema? The Simpsons re-captured it perfectly.
  8. Pink Flamingos Fucking hell. Really wasn't expecting this to be so SHOCKING! Especially given our internet savy and contemporary desensitised minds...but jaysus...really nasty stuff. Felt the whole thing was extremely negative, nothing nice or positive within it at all - just pure exploitive shock value. Would not recommend/10 unless you're one of those people who just have to see it to believe it
  9. The Burning - Exploitation Slasher flick, doesn't get much better than this (content wise) Pretty high levels of gore and nudez...and Jason Alexander! Confessions - Pretty terrible. Extremely Japanese. Felt like a 30 commercial on tv stretched to a feature length film, unrelenting soundtrack throughout. Boyhood - Preeeetty good!
  10. The Worlds Fastest Indian Well this was just weird, felt like autistic film making - much alike 'The Room' - just a very bizarrely made film and extremely poorly scripted/directed.
  11. Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr. Pretty strong Errol Morris docu about an execution machine engineer who then turned into a latter day Holocaust denier...purty' interesting Grainy B+W cinematography/10

    The last last 3 tracks we're top - each one better than the last
  14. R100 This is great fun. I posted about his (Matsumoto) earlier film 'Symbol' a few months back and he takes his cinematic-probings a step further with this. A film about a film about what film is...awesome. Nao Omori, who plays Ichi in Ichi the Killer, is great in this. Multiple varieties of Dominatrixes/10
  15. Bloody Birthday Pure exploitation, but if that's what you're geared up for it wouldn't disappoint too much Watched it at a "Grindhouse" cinema club thing last night, perfect film to watch with a crowd of people Fantastic 80's tities/10
  16. Even if the ping-pong stuff is fake, the quote at the beginning is enough awesome
  17. Man with a Movie Camera Having seen countless clips and read about it over the years, it wasn't till last night that I actually sat down and watched the whole thing...and oh my lordie, it is truly incredible. It's doing so many things. So aware yet unaware of what it's doing... or rather, what it's creating in terms of the history and language of cinema. It the sort of thing that leaves you speechless, yet so full of thought. Frankly, it blew me away. I watched it with the Michael Nyman score, which was great, and I wonder how different an experience it would have been with another. Double Exposures/10
  18. hahaha me and my friend call that move "The Riker" - in context of the episode the one he does at 0:44 is hilarious, it's like "I'm the big dick around here, yo"
