Michael Cain being awesome and killing people.

I don't think it got a huge release, it was made last year and I only found out about it in cinemas this week and it's finishing up.

FunkMetalBass 06-10-2010 09:02 AM

Hmm, sounds cool. I wonder if it was only an AUS release?

In other news, I'm downloading a book on speed mathematics. Boo-yah. Really sweet techniques in there.

Spaceman Spiff 06-10-2010 09:11 AM

Kickass was hilarious. I definitely recommend it.

It's only showing at a few places and at inconvenient times. I'll just wait a few more weeks for the DVD.

Spaceman Spiff 06-10-2010 09:38 AM

Nicolas Cage is great in it.

The movie also has a lot of surprising and funny moments.

karmapavementplan 06-10-2010 10:13 AM

Great movie. Drags a little in the middle though.

Spaceman Spiff 06-10-2010 10:57 AM

The first time he goes out as Kickass is hysterical.

FunkMetalBass 06-10-2010 11:26 AM

Is it anything like the movie [i]Special[/i]?

I have neither seen nor heard of this movie.

Tell me about it.

[QUOTE=karmapavementplan;18024981]I just had a stroke of genius. I think I have to make a cover of "Take my breath away" by berlin, in the style of this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHuzHSQ91oQ[/QUOTE]

No, I think you just had a stroke.

Wishful thinking on my part, anyway. :p

fatbandit 06-10-2010 01:49 PM

Kickass was great. Highly entertained by that throughout. Plus, anything that uses the "In a House, In a Heartbeat" track from 28 Days Later is a winner.

Harry Brown was out in cinemas here about 6 months ago, but I never got round to seeing it. Would love to though - saw it on DVD in a supermarket today but had no dollah on me.

It may be called Special RX.

Basically, this guy takes an experimental drug and then believes that it gives him superpowers.
He then goes around fighting crime while giving the drug negative press. It's pretty good, I dare say.

fatbandit 06-10-2010 04:36 PM

so we need a new drummer. poup.

I will agree with you lost is epic. Last episode dragged a bit with that whole, "we're all dead" **** though. Plus I can't help bit think that with what happened to locke, that it just made a waste of all the character development in the previous 4 or 5 series.

Spaceman Spiff 06-11-2010 09:42 AM

I don't know if Lost is any good or not because I just don't watch it. I generally stay away from TV altogether.

FunkMetalBass 06-11-2010 10:25 AM

[i]Get Him To The Greek[/i] was much better than I expected it to be. There were some scenes when all I could do was laugh.

I'd recommend it.

Spaceman Spiff 06-11-2010 10:28 AM

Cool.

I really like Jonah Hill, not Russell Brand so much, but he can be all right. I don't really have high expectations for the movie, but I'll probably catch it at some point when it's on DVD.

However, there's this new movie with Jonah Hill and John C. Reilly that just looks fantastic. Looks like a super dark comedy. It's called Cyrus.
Here's the trailer: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G0bYpMQ-fI[/url]

FunkMetalBass 06-11-2010 10:33 AM

Even if Russel Brandt isn't your favorite, P-Diddy more than makes up for it. Plus, there's a set of boobies! Bonus!

[i]Cyrus[/i] looked pretty good. I'll definitely be checking it out.

There's also a new movie with Jason Statham, Jet Li, Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone, and Ah-nold Schwarzenegger that sounds interesting, if only for the cast alone.

Spaceman Spiff 06-11-2010 10:35 AM

Quit acting like I don't know about The Expendables. I've been waiting on this movie for about two years now.

FunkMetalBass 06-11-2010 10:47 AM

[quote=Spaceman Spiff;18026558]Quit acting like I don't know about The Expendables. I've been waiting on this movie for about two years now.[/quote]

The Expendables is my favorite ska band.

Spaceman Spiff 06-11-2010 11:01 AM

I don't like ska bands. That music generally doesn't appeal to me.

FunkMetalBass 06-11-2010 11:11 AM

They're actually reggae. They usually play with a lot of ska bands, so I just kind of lump them in there.

fatbandit 06-11-2010 11:18 AM

today, i really smell after being at work. and i have no deodorant. but i don't want to take a second shower. ah, my life is full of misery :(

FunkMetalBass 06-11-2010 11:25 AM

Stop buying 4-string basses and buy deodorant.

Gattsu347 06-11-2010 12:08 PM

how do i get MM stingray tone without spending like $1700

FunkMetalBass 06-11-2010 12:40 PM

You could have spent $700 and purchased mine, but you're about a week too late.

What bass do you have? If it's got a humbucker of any kind in the bridge, solo the bridge pickup. There are a million variations of a Stingray tone, so you'd have to be more specific. They generally sound very scooped to my ears, so boosting your low bass and presence/treble on your amp will probably help.

Spaceman Spiff 06-11-2010 01:19 PM

Woooo.

Just did a bunch of cleaning around my house and took a shower after getting all dirty. Feelin' fine.

fatbandit 06-11-2010 04:16 PM

[quote=FunkMetalBass;18026591]Stop buying 4-string basses and buy deodorant.[/quote]
Pretty much - Paying for the bass left me with less than £10 in my account, so I didn't have enough to draw a tenner out for small purchases :(

FunkMetalBass 06-11-2010 04:22 PM

Wait, your ATMs allow you to withdraw money in increments of 10?!

fatbandit 06-11-2010 04:32 PM

Yes because our currency is actually valuable.

Used to do fivers as well. I know a couple of machines that still do fives if you know how adtually.

FunkMetalBass 06-11-2010 05:40 PM

Even when the value of the dollar was higher, $20 was still the minimum. It's been the minimum since well before I was born.

karmapavementplan 06-11-2010 05:51 PM

I'm officially 21 today - be nice to me and get me an interstellar overdrive.

fatbandit 06-12-2010 12:18 AM

Yes, but when the value of the dollar was higher, it was still never as valuable as the pound. So long story short.. sucks to be american? :p

FunkMetalBass 06-13-2010 05:36 PM

America sucks, but I got my new dresser in, so I can ignore America for the time being. I'll be setting up my full stack tonight. My 10-space rack case comes in tomorrow, so I'll transport everything into there, and have a permanent setup for my house. Finally!

Epidemechanical 06-13-2010 08:36 PM

so the new starsmog song is like drone ambient + upbeat swing dark polka.

Sablate McNuff 06-13-2010 10:33 PM

Damn. My Hipshot Ultralites came in for my Spector, and I bought the wrong size.
