Oi, that's awful, abasio! So many clichés make me want to commit hara kiri.

Love it. All the recent stuff is beautiful as always. I especially like this one: I'd pay for a print of it.

You might want to get in touch with Mike "Indidginus," whom you may recognize from the forums.

I haven't seen it yet but the consensus, from reviewer to reviewer to reviewer, is "strong visuals, weak story." I wonder what it's like for a producer to spend all that money and have to decide whether the story should be intelligent or for the masses. Must be a tough decision, but it's clear which way Cameron went.

I recommend you check out the South African artists. The Timecode label in general. The Cryptology compilation might be a good start. http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dezaml7mXDY http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya8EJEFWS8o&feature=related

Vibrasphere! You're good at these illustrations, Rotwang.

Indeed.

Nein. I apologize for interrupting. Never mind me.

Here's an extra one. Should be pretty easy.

I personally don't understand how someone largely responsible for stuff like Pigs in Space (is that even true?) could make the crappy cheesefest Ofer's made on his own in the last decade or so. Doesn't make sense.

Definitely. I recently watched the first season of First Blood and thought it was okay, but I kind of wish I hadn't. I watched it all because my friend lent me the DVDs. If I were watching online, I probably would've stopped after the second or third episode. Then there are some series that I can't wait for new episodes. Here's a more or less recent show that doesn't get mentioned much that I thought was very clever and funny, along the lines of the English Office: Summer Heights High, which is Australian. Another one would be The Mighty Boosh. Very funny.

I hear you. I felt the same way about Lost and Heroes - didn't make it through the first episodes. But I highly recommend you try again at some point. I've been riveted the entire way (although I was a little skeptical at first, too), and think Bryan Cranston is one of the best actors out there, besides being a total badass in the show.

Breaking Bad is the best show I've seen in a good while.

Ugh. That stuff makes me feel ill. Like my blood type is rainbow candy.

Interesting. Definitely more along the lines of Extrawelt, in my opinion, as in a bit more on the tech-house end than tech-trance. I like my stuff with a bit more oomph, but it's decent music, the few tracks I heard.

Amazing. Dude, have you tried Etsy? Seems like it would be perfect for your bottles. PM sent.

The aggression mainly, achieved with the escapist element of synthesis, and with, depending on what I'm listening to, a sufficient level of musicality and narrative to temporarily elevate my body and brain.

I've only heard half of those, but I liked Tales from the Dark Forest the best.

+1 Ambient from deep in the earth.

Ha. I once heard a psytrance track without a movie sample. Forgot what it was, though, because the name was not related to the sample.

I found it nice but generic. It didn't do anything new and interesting, so my attention wandered.

Nice. They went away soon after I started enjoying them. Hope they continue the releases.

I generally agree. It's totally stupid. The people who make trailers know how to manipulate the masses to get them to see their movies, and I've been tricked so many times in the past. Even if a movie is good, a trailer can raise people's expectations to an unreasonable level and cause them to like the movie less than they would otherwise. However, I find that if the movie is great, which is the kind of movie I like, the trailer will have no bearing on my experience. Going into trailers with this knowledge makes them less manipulative. I can take away the flavor of the film while moderating my excitement. Sometimes, though, I'm all in, like with the Tron sequel coming soon. The trailer (in HQ here), which has been out for about a year and a half, still gets me excited, even though it's got a dubiously glossy Apple-ness to it that I'm skeptical about (although it's also called a "concept test," which may mean it's not an accurate portrayal of the real film - I hope). It better be fucking good or I'm going to start cutting myself.
