I want to download the video of DJ Shadow's "Six Days" but don't know where to look for it.

[QUOTE=Little Man being Erased]I saw [I]The Island[/I] a few days ago. It really surprised me. I was expecting it to be fairly bad, but it was actually pretty great. It was quite funny in parts and very well written. Has anyone else seen it?

I also saw [I]The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy[/I], which was very good, as expected.[/QUOTE]

I thought it was ok, nothing amazing.

It starting snowing here a few hours ago, yay!

np: Radiohead - Paranoid Android

Little Man being Erased 12-01-2005 06:34 PM

Well yeah, it wasn't amazing, but it was enjoyable.

Glitterati 12-01-2005 09:39 PM

Those frogs in Magnolia: WTF!?!??!

Wanker 12-01-2005 09:44 PM

Ugh, I have to give a presentation tommorow on quantum mechanics. And guess what? I only have 5 minutes to describe it to the class.

Weeeeeee, this is gonna be fun.

And it's still snowing.

It snowed here today. They were the big, fluffy, beautiful flakes. I love winter.

[QUOTE=Little Man being Erased]Yeah, fuc[size=2]ked[/size] up, huh?[/QUOTE]

I didn't find it fuc[size=2]ked[/size] up at all, personally. I saw them as either an act of God (referred to in the black kid's rap..."when the sunshine don't work the good lord bring in the rain") or something that happened by chance (referring to the introduction of the film, and also when Stanley said "these things happen") to change the circumstances for people. For example, for Jimmy, it stopped his suicide. For Claudia, it was the first step for her to reconcile with her mother and for Donnie, the frogs caused his meeting with Jim, who was able to help him sort out his life. That's what I've sort of figured out partly by myself and partly with the help of others.

Magnolia is my favourite. Speaking of films, I just watched a German one from the 30s called [i]M[/i]. It was pretty awesome.

Robert Crumb 12-01-2005 11:27 PM

Yay 4 noir. :)

Little Man being Erased 12-01-2005 11:29 PM

I haven't seen [I]Magnolia[/I] in a while and you've obviously thought about it a bit more than me, as evidenced by my response of "Yeah, fu[size=2]cked[/size] up, huh?" So I'll admit that you're probably right.

BillCosby 12-01-2005 11:30 PM

Just watched [I]Crash[/I]. Cool flick.

br3ad_man 12-01-2005 11:34 PM

I need to see [i]Crash[/i].

[QUOTE]Yay 4 noir. :)[/QUOTE]

<3 noir. On Monday night, I'm having a night with some mates where we are watching some of the best modern noir films...[i]Dark City[/i], [i]Memento[/i] and [i]Sin City[/i] are all on the list.

[QUOTE]I haven't seen Magnolia in a while and you've obviously thought about it a bit more than me, as evidenced by my response of "Yeah, ****ed up, huh?" So I'll admit that you're probably right.[/QUOTE]

hah, I wasn't saying "you were wrong". It was ****ed up in the sense that throwing in a seemingly random scene of raining frogs is ****ed up, but it's not like he threw the frogs in to make the film wierd or artsy.

Little Man being Erased 12-01-2005 11:38 PM

Yeah I know breddy.

Robert Crumb 12-01-2005 11:38 PM

Get some L.A. Confidential up in thar. What's the premise to Dark City? The title sounds familiar.

Little Man being Erased 12-01-2005 11:41 PM

Dark City is rad.

br3ad_man 12-01-2005 11:46 PM

[QUOTE=Robert Crumb]Get some L.A. Confidential up in thar. What's the premise to Dark City? The title sounds familiar.[/QUOTE]

It's a bit hard to explain, especially for me...I haven't seen it for about 4 years. allmovie gives a decent explanation:

[url]http://www.allmovie.com/cg/avg.dll?p=avg&sql=1:158819[/url]

Suffice to say, it's a futuristic noir sort of film.

Robert Crumb 12-02-2005 12:10 AM

Sounds good, gonna have to remember it next time I'm a-huntin'.

It's all rainy and wet here and it's about damn time.

Daniel! 12-02-2005 12:23 AM

The weather has been great. It's been rainy and windy all day.

br3ad_man 12-02-2005 12:28 AM

It's been raining here too. It must be a worldwide storm.

Tangy zizzle 12-02-2005 12:39 AM

Nah. Was hotter than hell here today.

br3ad_man 12-02-2005 12:42 AM

Pfft. It's never hot in New Zealand.

Zmev 12-02-2005 01:52 AM

It was like hard rain when I was walking home today, ghey.

asymm 12-02-2005 02:32 AM

wow. I'm kind of buzzed at the moment.

I went out drinking with some friends around here and now I'm on the intranet at 2:32am. Somewhat odd and definitely out of character.

Does anyone else wish they could be perpetually out of character? Becoming the individual who is never as they seem to be? It's something I desire, but realize is impossible. Oh well.

For my future embarrassment - - - - - please ignore my semi-drunken post.

Thank you.

Wanker 12-02-2005 07:43 AM

It happens to most of us. If I post drunk, I won't say it in my post, but if someone can figure it out then I'll fess up.

And I know what you mean by being out of character when you're under the influence. I'm much more talkative usually. It's sad, actually.

JonM 12-02-2005 01:40 PM

Yay. MX is back.

asymm 12-02-2005 02:16 PM

[QUOTE=Wanker]I'm much more talkative usually. It's sad, actually.[/QUOTE]

I'm the exact same way. I'd typically be very quiet and mostly an observer, but once I've had a few I'll say exactly what's on my mind at any point. I'm not sure if it's something I wish to strive for in my everyday life, though. It's something that's difficult to balance/determine as to which is desirable and which is my truer self.

Tangy zizzle 12-02-2005 02:18 PM

Heh, we've all done the drunken post.

Wanker 12-02-2005 02:33 PM

I see what you mean. I actually kinda sit/stand on the side and observe and listen to drunken conversations, then if someone approaches me, I'll talk to them.
