i just finished watching requiem for a dream and now i'm shaking. I've yet to finish and Aranofski film without being shaken at the end. That said he sets up his shots soo f***ing beautifully. Contrasts colors so wonderfully from the beginning of the film to the end. ANd forces you to take in the reality of the situation. The mother was brilliant. Everyone did a brilliant job.

do we have any criterion collection nerds here? Usually every criterion i pick up is awesome...its quite amazing how good they are at picking which movies get the treatment.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 18, 2006 -> 10:14 PM) I have never understood the obssesion with Faith No More or Patton. People still talk about both like the record dropped just yesterday. i find people have a pretty strong sentimentality with most of the bands of the late 80's early 90's that said i was never a big faith no more fan but some of pattons later stuff has been really good. Especially tomahawk.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Feb 18, 2006 -> 07:19 PM) Ween's stuff ever is painfully bad. Local H is 1000x better than Ween can dream of being. Opinion, of course. Well, actually, this one is fact.... i quite enjoy some of their midnineties stuff...

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 17, 2006 -> 11:55 PM) 11 people killed along with a high number of injuries during a protest at an Italian embassy in Lybia. the bottomest, rightest made me die laughing.

ween's recent stuff...like past 7 years actually is painfully bad.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Feb 17, 2006 -> 11:33 PM) did he give up on Tomahawk already? no their 3rd is coming... this is the article from tinymixtapes.com

anyway...so mike patton's solo is going to be pretty epic, eh?

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 17, 2006 -> 09:18 PM) confession: I like the last The Strokes disc. i don't believe you. I loved the strokes but first impressions of earth is the biggest tripe i've ever heard! i can stand the first 3 tracks and it gets exponentially worse its quite astounding how conistently bad it got from track to track.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Feb 17, 2006 -> 04:52 PM) Are we still b****ing and moaning, people? :headshake Dukenukem ain't even involved this time, but people are trying to fill his void. "Street Fighting Man" is the suck? Ooooookay. Either get your ears examined, or keep such bulls*** to yourself. This is all personal preference anyways, and it's supposed to be fun. I can't stand Rod Stewart, but was I talking s*** about The Faces? No, of course not. I'm a huge Bob Dylan fan, but do you see me uttering some elitist nonsense? Nope. street fighting man is the suck though.

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Feb 17, 2006 -> 09:21 AM) The original All Along the Watchtower? ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

QUOTE(knightni @ Feb 17, 2006 -> 07:08 AM) Well... it certainly shouldn't include the folk icon that you use as a SN here. Like a rolling stone had electric guitars and WHEN WE ASKED what "classic rock" meant whoever started this thread said any song between 1950-1980...so we took the best somewhat "rock" songs from that era and voila...the best pop songs ever. Damn shame god only knows didn't make it as it is clearly the greatest song ever people are just silly and not willing to recognise it as such. YOU CAN'T REFUSE THAT MELODY.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Feb 17, 2006 -> 04:47 AM) Over. Don't forget we'll still have the commentary after Whittington is released from the hospital, as well as the stories which include some variation of "his life will never be the same," or "activites such as hunting will no longer be possible with his heart condition." and the fact that i still laugh when i hear "cheney shot a man in the face"

QUOTE(Yoda @ Feb 17, 2006 -> 12:26 AM) After this round, as you can probably tell, there will be 3 winners, an odd number. So, to make things even, a losing song with the highest votes will be back for the semifinals. Section 1. While My Guitar Gently Weeps - The Beatles vs. Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix vs. Baba O'Reilly - The Who Section 2. Street Fighting Man - The Rolling Stones vs. A Day in the Life - The Beatles street fightin man is pretty suck... i was a straight ticket voter. Like a rolling stone is very worthy.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 10:08 PM) You quoted the article, not Hillary. Newsday is a tabloid paper. yeah, that was my point...that the article's first sentence sets the tone that it is bulls***.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 10:20 PM) Only problem with that is that in your twisted little world the US is the root of all evil in the world and you use any opportunity you can grasp to try and make that point. i think the reality is it is your twisted little world that because we criticise the administration we think the US is the root of all evil.

i'm so pissed. i should have done a Wire song just for cool points.

QUOTE(mreye @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 01:28 PM) It said "Vast West Wing Conspiracy" and she wasn't quoted in the article. Reading the article, I didn't actually think she said those words, nor did the author say she did. Am I missing something? you are correct on the west... however quote " Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton thinks White House delays in disclosing Dick Cheney's shotgun mishap are evidence of a vast West Wing conspiracy to stonewall journalists and voters. " Sen Hillary Rodham clinton THINKS...ARE EVIDENCE OF A VAST WEST WING CONSPIRACY and for the record...what she said is right. This has been the most secretive administration in my lifetime.

that seemed like a real objective article. that was so ridiculous it seems fake. IF they are gonna claim she says it was part of the vast right wing conspiracy, quote her. It seemed like she said what the media, citizens and fellow politicians have been saying...why was there so much delay. This article seemed like utter bulls***.

we shouldn't have published the pentagon papers because they were too old we shouldn't have published the nixon tapes because they were too old

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 05:37 AM) On the other hand, I can understand completely how some people could not be into them. yeah i can't.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 15, 2006 -> 06:49 PM) It IS a story, but it's a small story. That's my point. Now that the media is pissed off, it's a HUGE story. when jimmy carter getting attacked by an angry gopher is being reported in history classes, the vice president shooting a guy in the face is a bit more important and relevant.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 03:22 AM) .......but still better than the other big fests. By the way, Intonation will happen again this year, book it. i hope so...that was such a brilliant festival. I was very pleased with it. It was a pretty good location...some tough sound sometimes but the shade, price, and water fill up station was great. COME ON!!! KIDSMOKE!!!

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 03:09 AM) My point about Petty and Raitt is that every big show starts off as a showcase for new bands, but eventually has mainstream stuff thrown in. We've yet to see the Lolla line up, but I think Coachella has the best one so far. coachella lineup was pretty weak in my opinion at least compared to the last 2 years.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 16, 2006 -> 03:10 AM) Wilco's YHF is a really good record, too bad they blew their entire load on it. :rolly listen to Kicking Television...not only is it the best produced live record i've heard in a while, it highlights the amazing addition of Nels CLine and WILL give you a new appreciation for a ghost is born. Plus summerteeth is right up there with YHF for me... she's a jar and via chicago are very beautiful
