Re: Harry Potter as an NT - recommended! (so far) I find descriptions boring too, because I feel that most literature gets description wrong, at least according to me. Most writers describe too much stuff that isn't relevant and too little that is relevant, and they don't seem to realize that...

YouTube - Esbjörn Svensson Trio: Behind the yashmak (2/2) - live 2006 (e.s.t.)

Re: Harry Potter as an NT - recommended! (so far) Half a dozen chapters in, I really like this. Though I will say the writing could be a lot better. The descriptions are lacking, almost the whole story is dialogue.

Re: Harry Potter as an NT - recommended! (so far) I would love to read this story with you but not right now. I do find this intriguing. EDIT: I'm reading it. It's really cool. Harry Potter sounds like Latro.

That is what I like the Nolan films for - the ones I like, anyway. I liked everything about both Batman films except the action scenes, and all in all I would say they're very good movies, and even if you may say they are not action movies at heart, there are still tedious action scenes that...

I didn't mean to say that the movie not making perfect sense was a huge issue for me; I didn't name it as one of the two major flaws which really made the movie disappoint me. I do not yearn for a movie without action, I yearn for a movie with action done right. Even though Nolan had previously...

I was actually pretty disappointed by the movie. I admit I found the plot intriguing and way better than that of your average big-budget Hollywood summer blockbuster although it didn't make perfect sense, and the soundtrack was delightfully overdramatic. I had two major issues with the movie...

Interesting. I see you've already found Dälek, so here are some other favourites of mine: Hip-hop: Country: (none of this is straight country, I hope it's all okay. RYM calls all of it country, I really don't have a clue myself)

That artstyle makes me wanna puke.

I have absolutely no idea why you would make this generalization. Just because Arcade Fire (there's no 'the', by the way) haven't made any drastic changes to their sound, that doesn't mean there aren't tons of bands that have evolved, for an example, from black metal to electronica via folk...

Well, I made a psych rock mixtape. It's called Pieces of Bone. http://www.mediafire.com/?m4ukpkshud6ca5c Track listing: 1. Morgen - "Welcome to the Void" (4:49) 2. High Tide - "Walking Down Their Outlook" (5:00) 3. Country Joe & the Fish - "Porpoise Mouth" (2:51) 4. The West Coast Pop Art...

Oh Anthile, you pretentious pinteresque fucker. Lost Afraid Divided PANCAKES Self-pitying Let me try again: Divided Wistful Besieged Creative Uncertain

Oh, I didn't actually know he introduced them. I found out about them through The Spoony One. Indeed, I wish I could share their perspective.

I know he doesn't come here much nowadays, but this seems pretty appropriate for Ogion:

Okay, I give up. It took me forever, and I had to go through my entire library, but I managed to think of two. That may or may not suck. May do more later. Anthile: YouTube - Boards of Canada - Kaini Industries Cognisant: YouTube - Ulver - Nowhere / Catastrophe ♫

Well, I thought for something to Cog, and then I found out Dormouse had already posted THE EXACT SAME SONG >.< And I thought Pornophonique was rather obscure :( Still working on something.

As much as I loathe The White Album, this is kinda cool. Threads like these kinda make me wish I was more popular here to validate recognition from more people than just Anthile. I'm gonna see if I can get over my egocentrism and think of some audial impressions for other members after I finish...

Synecdoche, New York has a fucking awesome song. Especially the recurring dmi theme (no idea what that stands for). Here's a short film set to one variation of that theme. YouTube - Good Morning Sunshine - A Short Suicide Circle is another movie with an underrated soundtrack. Just...

Well, in my case, I'm not really an asocial elitist intellectual asshole entirely by choice. For a year now I've been trying to get closer to my classmates, to become 'one of them'. But when I try to have some casual conversation that isn't about some esoteric subject that I adore, I can't seem...

This is neither melodic death metal nor any other kind of death metal, and it barely qualifies as metal.

Why did you have to revive these threads? I thought for a moment that Seducer had returned :(

You got it.

Just wait for me to turn 18.

Am I mistaken, or is that Vision Creation Newsun, your avatar? If it is, you're welcome, if not, well...

Spent the day watching Paprika, Tokyo Godfathers and Millennium Actress, in that order, in memory of Satoshi Kon. I didn't watch Perfect Blue 'cause I had already seen it, same with Paranoia Agent. Paprika was very good, visually in particular, but the visuals were so consistently fantastic...

Devin Townsend's album Ki, if only for the title track: YouTube- Devin Townsend Project - Ki

:) I would have posted this if I hadn't refrained from posting the depressing-kind-of-romantic music. Kevin Moore might be my soulmate. Chroma Key is amazing, too. (One of his solo projects)

I used to have this on my computer but never found much use for it. But if anything, your post gave me some ideas on things to use it for.

Voted "I like him", although I think he would make a decent world dictator.

I'll try to see if my cynical, depressed mind can come up with something that isn't a horrible deconstruction of romanticism that I can still appreciate. Actually, one of my favourite songs of all time is kind of romantic. YouTube- ‪Soft Machine - A Certain Kind‬&lrm; And a tier below, there's...

Would see this if I was stuck in a place that actually had a cinema.

Ships are in the sky! Everything goes rushing past and you know the reason why!

You have a really cool taste in art.

Didn't know you watched this. Possibly the best animé series ever. I don't actually think that the first season is that different in quality from the following, it's just that the series is something that needs to grow on you. Why haven't you watched it already you dimwit?

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

You seem to be basing the entirety of your criticism on the quality of the reviews, and I would agree with you that most of them are not very good, so if you use the site primarily for reviews there are probably better options. I mostly just read the reviews of users I can trust and use the site...

I liked The Beach. In fact, it's my favourite Danny Boyle film, but that's not saying much.

:aufsmaul:

echoplex, you missed this one: The Moody Blues - Days of Future Passed (I actually like that album)

Saying the 28 Days/Weeks Later movies aren't zombie movies is bullshit. Yes, the infected may not technically be zombies, but beyond that, they have far too many elements of the typical zombie apocalypse movie to be considered otherwise. You could say that they're not technically zombie movies...

Yeah, he's an interesting person. Much more intelligent than a single glance at his reviews would have you believe. I'm pretty sure that Kid A review is almost completely serious. He loves that album. I love the way he reviewed it, his review is almost as artistic as the album itself.

Kind of interesting, but nothing surprising really. I decided long ago that I am going to pick up online poker if I ever turn 18...

"In no particular order: Most of their discography."

www.rateyourmusic.com One of my favourite sites. It's a site where people rate and review music, and since a year ago or so, also movies. It's also sort of a wiki on artists and genres. Wonderful place for recommendations. If you have profiles, please post them here. My profile...

In order of best to worst: 1. In Rainbows (Sometimes I feel like this is perfect music) 2. Kid A 3. Amnesiac 4. OK Computer 5. Hail to the Thief (May deserve a higher rank, but I need to listen to it more) 6. The Bends (I only care for Street Spirit and Nice Dream) 7. Pablo Honey (Pure crap...

A lot of metalheads look down on Slipknot because they're not "trve" or something. I dunno. I don't find them horrible, their music is just kind of immature... But a lot of angry music is.

A lot of the choices just seemed arbitrary. I brought up Audition because that movie is the antithesis of a date movie. City of God just seems arbitrary. To escape, I would probably watch something gory, violent, nihilistic and exploitative. There were no such options. If I was feeling blue, I...

This test was pretty bad. A lot of the time, the pictures could have easily been replaced with words (why a picture of a person writing instead of just the word "writing"?) and at other times none of the choices seemed to fit. I got Bright Spark, but I don't think that means anything. On a...

Most of these suck. But I can relate to this one:
