Chit-Chat: EVAN PETERS HAVE MY BABIES

It wasn't as good as their previous album unfortunately, but it was still good enough I suppose.

It takes a fair bit of time to get into Animal Collective songs though, so maybe I'll think of it better in a few weeks. I can't reccomend it as strongly as last night anyway. :P

I like Merriwether Post Pavilion, but that's my only exposure to AC. And when I say I 'like' the album, I mean I love the first couple of songs and then find the rest OK. 'Summertime Clothes' and 'My Girls' are all kinds of awesome, though. Might check this out eventually.

What is this group's music like? Wikipedia tells me their genre(s) are: "Neo-psychedelia, Experimental music, Experimental rock, Freak folk, Psych folk, electronica, Art rock, Noise pop, avant-garde, ambient." Which tells me nothing, really.

I would check myself, but I have no sound on this computer I'm using.

My Girls is definitely one of my favourite songs.

It's hard to describe really, as with most experimental music, it's pretty out there. People tend to describe them as 'Beach Boys on LSD', but that means little to me having experienced little of the Beach Boys.

I'd usually describe a band by describing which bands they're like which is pretty difficult in this case unfortunately. I could say some of their songs are like a very, very, very, very distorted version of MGMT.

Precisely. And alternatively, modern Beatles on LSD:


I've been hooked on these guys for months

Reminds me of this song:



The singer sounds a lot like John Lennon.

I read the first novel and watched the first 6 episodes and would not call that a romance aimed at both genders. The "Very deep, adult problems" are nothing more than you'd find in a Mirai Nikki or Naruto. Characters are forgettable, it has that not so nice over produced and clean cut visual style and I find it silly that an MMO is a place to gain a harem.

Editing my posts, how rude. I still feel my point was correct so I'm going to reword it.

Personally the only reason I would watch it is for the cute girls, a perfectly legitimate reason to watch an anime. Plot wise I'm not impressed but would probably not be so cynical if I hadn't already seen a lot of anime.

Hopefully my opinions haven't broken too many hearts.

Gotta remember to check this thread when I'm somewhere I can listen to music.

I like the Beach Boys well enough so that sounds encouraging. (b'')b Don't know who MGMT is though. Feel kinda like I've lost touch with music lately. With media in general. I only saw Hugo last night even though everyone told me I should see it in theatres, which I never did.

I saw The Bourne Legacy last Thursday and I quite enjoyed it despite the weird and sudden ending which basically says "yes, there will be another sequel". Rachel Weisz and Jeremy Renner were very well cast and did great in their roles. I haven't seen the first three Bourne films though, and I'm assured they were much better so I probably wouldn't have enjoyed those so much had I seen them first.

Then last night I saw Total Recall. It was a decent movie for what it was, but I wasn't expecting it to be magnificent. I only went because I wanted to see Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel beat things up, and there was certainly a lot of that! But the movie was incredibly straightforward considering the trailers plugged it as some sort of mind-bending 'what is real and what isn't' sort of thing. I enjoyed it but it was ultimately forgettable. Most likely better than the original simply because it did not have Arnold Schwarzenegger lol.

You didn't like Captain America? I thought that was an awesome movie, I loved it! It was a little long (like, I thought it was over at one point but it was only like half way through lol) but I came out of it feeling like I'd seen a really good superhero movie. And it wasn't one of the more cliche ones like Batman or Superman that have had their movies done 15 million times over lol.

When I saw Captain America, it was kind of involuntarily. My sister asked me if I wanted to go, but I didn't reply right away, so she bought the ticket anyway; I just listened to music through the whole movie. XD I watch the pretty picture, but I didn't really hear any of it - save for the ending, when I just got tired of listening to my music around that time.

You two both suck :P.

And Golurk, the 'final ending twist' wasn't something they just put in just for the sake of attempting a final twist. It was the movie's lead-in to The Avengers. You'll find both Thor and Iron Man 2 would have had Nick Fury and the SHIELD people in there somewhere to lead those characters into The Avengers as well.

Okay, one thing that really bothers me about Captain America. The sound on the video is terrible! The dialogue is all way too soft and the sound effects are way too loud. When I saw it first (not in the theatre) I had to keep adjusting the volume myself.

Bad sound, to me, is one of the greatest unforgivable sins of video. I can handle low video quality, bad computer graphics, blurriness, pixelation, and a dozen other things, but if the sound is off that just kills it for me.

BECAUSE THEY HAD THEIR PHASARS SET TO 'HUMAN'. WHO CARES.

lmao sorry I get very protective of my Marvel.

EDIT: Oh snap, that was my 5000th post. I used my 5000th post on that lmfao.
