You know, the other day, the idea actually popped into my head to ask my username to be changed to Liam Gallagher. I thought for a few minutes it would be hilarious, but then I was like ".....nah."

^^Loving the new Avatar EightMiles.

Glitterati 04-04-2006 05:52 PM

I'm renting it for the first time this weekend.

Kyle 04-04-2006 06:04 PM

Does that mean you havn't seen it? If that's the case then enjoy, it's great. It's different to the book though, not sure which I prefer.

Anyways it's 1 in the morning over here, I should go to sleep really. Nighty night community.

Glitterati 04-04-2006 06:08 PM

Haven't seen it. Tried reading the book a while ago, didn't go over so well.

The Great Decay 04-04-2006 06:29 PM

Good film, definitely weird.

JonM 04-04-2006 06:50 PM

Both of them are wonderful.

I watched the film last week during an intense hail storm (some of the hail were as big as marbles). It was good, maybe a little overrated. The song during the opening is awsome.

I am not part of this thread.

pikester 04-04-2006 08:25 PM

Wait... what movie?

/lost.

Daniel! 04-04-2006 08:44 PM

A Clockwork Orange.

neighborhood fascist 04-04-2006 08:56 PM

My friend has it, but he doesn't want to let me borrow it. He thinks I lose everything, which is kind of dumb. I consider myself the most responsible out of everyone I know.

I tried to read the book, but there was so much that I couldn't understand that I just gave up.

The Great Decay 04-04-2006 09:02 PM

I haven't read the book, but I imagine the slang would be confusing.

biografiend 04-04-2006 09:50 PM

The book and movie are both good, but I wish the movie had ended like the book. My friend's copy has a small slang dictionary in the back that was pretty useful.

I watched Brokeback Mountain and Crash this week. I was disappointed with Brokeback (the film score was mostly crap except for the main theme, the shots were pretty disappointing, not enough gay), but I would score Crash with a 7.2/10, which is pretty good in my book.

neighborhood fascist 04-04-2006 10:00 PM

Crash was terrible. I couldn't get more than ten minutes into the movie without feeling sick. Everything was just so contrived that it turned something that could've been great, stupefyingly gay. It's like their goal was to squeeze in as many stereotypes and racial slurs as possible into one movie. They succeeded all right, but the product was far from decent.

Perhaps I shouldn't be giving my opinion on the movie without having seen more than seven minutes of it.

Zmev 04-04-2006 11:08 PM

So if all goes as planned tomorrow I'll be going to school painted purple.

Guitar Hero is quite a fun game.

I loved that film. The first few scenes do in fact try to spread many stereotypes in a short amount of time, but the director did that so he could develop the story. Watch the entire thing and then see if that changes your mind. The ending is fantastic.

neighborhood fascist 04-05-2006 12:20 AM

I'll put it on my Netflix queue.

[QUOTE=neighborhood fascist]I'll put it on my Netflix queue.[/QUOTE]
Since you didn't like the first 7 minutes, don't expect to enjoy the remaining. It really is just short of a mess of a picture. All of it is as forced as you say it is. It also treats it's viewers as bumbling idiots. It tells you what to think instead of allowing your own decisions to be taken from the picture, a little subtlety would've gone a long way on Crash.

With that being said, I wouldn't say don't see it, but don't go in with 'high' hopes.

asymm 04-05-2006 09:37 AM

Speaking of movies, has anyone seen [i]Thank You for Smoking[/i] ? I plan on seeing it this weekend, it looks hilarious.

neighborhood fascist 04-05-2006 10:46 AM

aymm and I agree on something? The world is going to end!

neighborhood fascist 04-05-2006 10:46 AM

(...soon!)

neighborhood fascist 04-05-2006 11:19 AM

I'll give it another go.

asymm 04-05-2006 12:43 PM

[QUOTE=neighborhood fascist]aymm and I agree on something? The world is going to end![/QUOTE]
Haha, yes, I too was worried and sought shelter from the apocalypse after entering my reply.

Yeah.

I'm about this [ ] close to beating the darn thing.

The Great Decay 04-05-2006 01:29 PM

In light of me giving The Unicorns another shot and getting into them, I've decided to give Xiu Xiu another listen as well. What would be a good album to start with?

Xiu Xiu's most accessible has to be [I]Fabulous Muscles[/I].

I'm surprised you had to give the Unicorns another short. I thought everyone fell in love with them the first time.

Some of those indie songs are pretty good too. "All of This" especially strikes me as a really impressive pop song.

Kyle 04-05-2006 02:27 PM

Yo La Tengo and Mission of Burma :D

I just recently listened to Wolfmother, I love them. So I have another band to look forward to at Reading fest, I'm taking whatever I can get right now.

After much Pain and Suffering, I beat Bark at the Moon (:cool:), and I've got like 85% on Cowboys (:angry:).
