General Discussion / Anyone remember Heavymetalclock?
October 09, 2011, 04:00:09 PM
I have no time to play games. I fly solo for now on and I still consider you a freind. I care not that they banned me from the CC (I knew it was only a matter of time truly) but I will put this out right now.
Don't mess around with me for I have neither the time or interest to be bothered and they do not want an enemy of me. Therefore, I must continue my studys and work on my guitar skills. While you may have adopted me, I belive it is nulled through permebans. Also the posts I'm talking about are the one in the thread Buttplug made when Everyone celebrated my second permeban and laughed at me....

Pokemon Stadium / The Wire episode posters
August 17, 2011, 04:36:55 PM
I'm embarking upon the ambitious project to create a cover/poster/image thing for every episode of the Wire. I may end up listening to requests, as I have a lot of episodes to get through.

S01E12

"Nah, Nigga. That's my mom."

S02E06

"Pop, you wanna know what I remember?"

I'll be posting all these in the blog in my sig, if you're interested in archives.

Basically they destroyed his immune system and replaced it with a new one made from the stem cells of a man near-immune to the disease. Neat-o.

Entertainment / Satoshi Kon died.

The man behind the Inception-influencing Paprika and me-influencing Paranoia Agent has died at age 47 of cancer. This feels like a huge loss to me personally. I loved Paranoia Agent so much, and it felt obvious that the guy had so many more stories to tell.

We can all agree that Wind-Up is a pretty cool guy.

I am certain I have had the misfortune of seeing this gentleman in the flesh at some point. Mostly hearing, but seriously, hard to forget boobs like that.

The bus driver is taking this all quite well.

Entertainment / Inception
July 16, 2010, 05:08:18 PM
AHHH This film buddy! This film buddy!
I copypasted from my website in my sig because I'm really lazy!

Inception is terrifically difficult to talk about anyway, because the films plot details have been kept so wonderfully concealed so far that to talk about pretty much anything could diminish the effect of the film. Oh right, yeah, it's really, really good, too. Just needed to slip that in somewhere.

So, what I'm going to do is talk about a few ideas in the film without actually spoiling plot details as I know how difficult it is to simply "stop reading" something (but, I should add I would consider the ideas in a film to be some of the most important aspects). Ready? Okay. Inception is a film concerning Solipsism. It doesn't really start that way, but it moves there eventually. However, Inception is not like The Matrix; it does not tell us our lives are illusions. The films message seems to be the delicious one that solipsism on it's own is dangerous enough (and the idea certainly is a destructive one). "The idea" - "the cancer" referred to in the film is the fallibility of being awake. "They come here to wake up".

The movie asks the audience if we can distinguish between reality and dreams, then ingeniously makes its dream sequences as realistic as possible. Both in terms of believability, and the fact that on several ocassions we're unaware we're even in a dream at all, to really drive the theme home. Of course, the film falls back on the sci-fi setting, so the questions don't really apply to us, but they at the very least raise the interesting topic of debate (and again in a more interesting way of just telling us the world in the film is fictional). It's unclear what side the film takes on the solipsism debate though; on the one hand the movie would lack the "catharsis" Cobb says is required if the notion of solipsism wasn't conquered in some form; however, what's conquered may not be the idea of solipsism so much as it's negatives effects. I will be spoiling the final shot of the film now, and although I don't think it will really damage viewing of the film, it may be better to avoid reading my thoughts on it if you haven't seen it yet. The final shot shows Cobb reuinited with his children; he is happy, finally, after so much strife and so much torture from his own subconcious. We see the top is still spinning over their laughter, and while it does seem to slow down slightly, we don't see it fall. The top throughout the movie, the "totem" is something that keeps the characters certain of where they are; that they are the dreamer, or at least are viewing the world unaltered. The fact the top is left spinning at the end of the film seems to be suggesting the possibility that Cobb remains in a dream (though I doubt he actually is) - however, he is happy. Does it really matter if Cobb is dreaming? He's happy now, finally.

Just out of simple curiosity for bad/obscure films. I know American Commando 3 with Pierre Kirby isn't, and I had to look a while before I found Bruno Mattei's "Terminator 2" but no others.

I'll settle for films with next to no information on their pages, I suppose

Oprah (Yeah I know) is letting one of her viewers have their own show.

This is Zach, he is quite funny.

He also has cereberal palsy.

This may actually be the only chance someone with a motor disability would ever get their own show. You don't have to register to vote, you don't even have to like him as far as I'm concerned, just get on there and vote. I mean, look at his fucking competition:

What you fellas think? I'm pretty happy with them, though for the sake simply of imagery, I'm a bit upset Caps wings are gone.
