Overall the motion picture “The Patriot” was very historically accurate. The scenery and the clothing worn by the characters played a major role in keeping the film true to the Revolutionary time period in American history in which the story took place. Although characters such as Benjamin Martin and his family were fictional, there were many more components integral to the film’s plot that were in fact a reality. Some examples of these are the Battle of Yorktown, the many historical figures in the film, and the numerous battle scenes.
One of the elements of the movie that most accurately displayed the American Revolution was the numerous battle scenes. Throughout the film you see many examples of military tactics and weaponry of the period. The movie may seem to be very graphic to some in the depiction of the battles but it is very true to the realities of an eighteenth century battle. An excellent example of this depiction is in the final battle scene of the mo
The main character, Benjamin Martin, alone was a portrayal of many significant Patriots during the revolution. They stand in line across from the enemy and fire volleys of bullets into the opposing line of soldiers. As the two sides line up to deliver shots at one another, they do not try to protect themselves with some sort of shield or shelter. Throughout the movie you also see glimpses of real historical figures and hear actual American plans. Another example is when Colonel Henry Burwell speaks of Nathaniel Greene"tms success in driving the British out of Georgia and South Carolina. In the film, General Cornwallis retreats to Yorktown to wait for much needed supplies and reinforcements. Here you can see the sheer brutality of this type of warfare. "The Patriot" was successful in developing an interesting fictional plot while keeping true to the realities of the Revolutionary War. He was loosely based on the Prussian officer, Baron Friedrich von Stueben, who was hired by General Washington at Valley Forge to train his troops like a European army. Martin has a little portion of each Patriot in his character, such as the ambush fighting style of Francis Marion. Many of the characters in the movie are actually based on real people from the Revolutionary War, including the French officer, Major Jean Villenueve. From there the French finally arrive and to blockade the British from the sea. The weapons themselves are also very authentic. The scene in the movie that probably had the most historical significance and was most accurate in the film was the Battle of Yorktown.

I was quite surprised to find that this album was just released in the U.S. on Tuesday. The first and title track off the album has been out since March. This great discrepancy in time led me to take a look at the album and see if there was any hype to be had.
Overall, I would recommend this album as an upbeat shot in the arm for the pop diehard that literally cannot wait for the second half of The 20/20 Experience. Both Justin and Robin’s styles have similarities now, and even though Robin’s admittedly been doing the R&B thing for over a decade, it took Justin’s new direction to open the door for Robin’s music to break out.
“Blurred Lines” (against my prediction) has become the most popular song of the summer, and is definitely what pulls you into this album. “Give It 2 U” is also seeing popularity on iTunes, mostly due to a feature from Kendrick Lamar on the track (I know, I was surprised too).
After listening to it more during this writing, the first half of the album is by far more upbeat and thusly (in my opinion) better. The sheen wears off after the happy, groovy songs are over. Like I said before, it’s good if you’re looking for a change of pace from Justin’s recent work.
In all honesty though, is anyone really interested in this album with how catchy “Blurred Lines” is/how much radio play “Blurred Lines” gets? How many casual listeners are ready to consider Robin Thicke a “One Hit Wonder” even though he’s been making music and finding his niche for a long time now? Let me know your opinions on #THICKE, where you think his music’s going in the future, etc. What are your thoughts on the album itself? Let’s start conversations.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Movie
Before Spike, Angel, and the Scooby Gang... there was the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie. Chris loved the show, but not the film. Donna and Carlos have never seen the series, so for them this 1992 comedy IS Buffy.
Topics include: how Joss Whedon's original vision for the film was compromised by the director, what changes were made and what elements survived, how unfair it is to compare Kristy Swanson's performance to Sarah Michelle Gellar's, how disinterested Donald Sutherland seems to be in all of this, the fact that nobody has much of a reaction to all of these terrible events, some confusion over why vampires haven't taken over the planet yet, and much much more!

Yeah you could be grinding mobs pointless like a schmuck with that "Free" pack, not experiencing any worthwhile or fun content.
If lvling is all you care about, yes. But some of us enjoy the fun unique quests and features the game offers rather than worrying about a number. The level I am is the least of my concerns in lotro.
We understand you love the game, but please stop denying everything we're saying. You're basically not listening to anything we've said.
First of all, if you did read, you'd know that we've said you cannot quest when you leave Bree land. The starter zones (for every race) and Bree land are all free to play, but the moment you complete those, the rest of the areas pretty much require payment to do anything there other than killing random mobs on the world map. Although, if you play very scarcely, the free zones might keep you entertained for a while. If not here is the actual paychart: http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.php?347917-LOTRO-Store-Full-Price-List
The quest packs enable quests + dungeons for those zones. Expansions do the same for the zones in the expansion.
The rest is optional, but I heavily suggest the following:
- Skirmishes (they are fun and also very rewarding)
- 4th bag
- 5th bag
- Gold cap removal
- Trait slot (Virtue, Race, Class and Legendary)

We simply can’t get away from old Vin Scully. The summer and fall of 2016 was the most magical we’ve ever had watching the game of baseball once we decided to dig in and start enjoying Vin Scully on a nightly basis. A Dodgers home game became an event to really savor and look forward to
As time began to wind down, we felt it in a big way. But with all great things, it built into a climax; a crescendo. And it culminated with the greatest Vin Scully moment of them all for us.
We cried like a baby during this. It was one of those rare moments where you actually know it’s the end of something totally legendary. Vin meant so much to our baseball life. This was just too much.
He might not have been as smooth as Bette Midler’s version, but he didn’t exactly butcher the rendition either.

'Mission Raniganj' starring Akshay Kumar has indeed given a blissful treat to the audience in the month of October with its gripping cinematic experience that offers a compelling narrative, a heroic journey, and a visual spectacle. With all the love pouring in from the audience, the film has generated great positive word of mouth and garnered amazing reviews from all across. The film has come as an absolute big-screen wonder that is well-studded with elements worth enjoying in the theatres. Amid the release of other films in October, 'Mission Raniganj' has successfully grabbed its position in the theatres.
Also starring Parineeti Chopra, 'Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue' released in theatres on October 6. Directed by Tinu Suresh Desai, the rescue thriller is produced by Vashu Bhagnani, Jackky Bhagnani, Deepshikha Deshmukh and Ajay Kapoor.
Here are five compelling reasons why 'Mission Raniganj' is your perfect watch in October.
Inspired by a true brave hero
'Mission Raniganj' is inspired by the life of a true hero who was a real-life hero because of how he saved 65 miners stuck inside a flooded coal mine in West Bengal's Raniganj back in 1989. The film unfolds the extraordinary story of courage, determination, and resilience in the face of adversity. This real-life hero's journey serves as a powerful source of inspiration and showcases the indomitable human spirit.
Bharat's largest and the most successful rescue mission
The film centers around Bharat's largest and most successful coal mine rescue mission which saved 65 miners during the 1989 coal mine collapse in Raniganj, West Bengal. It's a feat that captured the nation's attention and evoked a sense of pride and unity. The intricate details of this mammoth operation, from its planning to execution, are brilliantly portrayed on the big screen. The magnitude and scale of the mission are best experienced in the immersive environment of a cinema, making the film a must-watch!
An edge-of-the-seat thriller
It is a high-octane thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. With its suspenseful plot and nail-biting sequences, the film guarantees an adrenaline-pumping experience. The tension and anticipation are heightened when experienced in a theatre's larger-than-life setting, making it a perfect choice for those seeking an exhilarating cinematic adventure.
Cinematic marvel to experience
Visually stunning and meticulously crafted, the film is a cinematic masterpiece that deserves to be seen on the big screen. The film's impressive production values, breathtaking cinematography, and expertly choreographed action sequences are best appreciated in a theatre. Immerse yourself in the grandeur of the film and savour the captivating visuals and sound in a way that only the cinema can offer.
Songs for every emotion
It is not just an action-packed thriller; it's a cinematic journey with songs that touch every emotion. From soul-stirring melodies to foot-tapping numbers, the film's soundtrack complements the narrative beautifully. Each song such as JALSA 2.0 which is a fun Bhangra song, Keemti which is a romantic melody, Jeetenge which is a patriotic song and Nanak Naam Jahaaz Hai, adds depth to the story, making it an emotional rollercoaster.

On Re-watching Batman Forever: As a kid versus an adult
The relevant difference between Kid-Amy and Adult-Amy is that Adult-Amy has read ALOT more Batman comics.
- I can see why this would make a good kids movie and bad movie for older comic book nerds. For kids there are neon-brite colors and living toys (i.e. the new Batmobile) and Dick Grayson/Robin is like the cool older boy next door. Comic book nerds might hate this movie because elements from the comic books had been distilled and over-simplified into caricatures. At times the movie seems like merchandising fodder (like how do the tommy guns need neon lights?). The movie oscillates between campy and serious. Bruce Wayne/Batman is dour compared to the villians. Joel Schumacher should've committed to one approach wholeheartedly.
- Bat nipples
- Dick Grayson/Robin is too old! It’s weird when Alfred and Bruce refer to Chris O' Donnel as a boy or a kid.
- Though there is a point to be made that if they showed a live-action Dick Grayson/Robin that was closer to 12 years old, it would be hard to believe that Batman wasn't nuts for endangering the life of a young boy.
- At least they didn't spend too much time on the Batman origin story (again).
- “Chase Meridian” is a Bond Girl name.
- She is totally leading poor Bruce Wayne along; it’s obvious to Bruce that she's really into Batman and not Bruce. Why is he doing this to himself?
- I didn’t understand the scene where Bruce Wayne muttered to himself that he "killed them (Robin's parents)'. Maybe he felt guilty about being unable to save them?
- This Dick Grayson laundry-fu scene is so contrived. I get that they wanted to show he knows how to fight, but I find it hard to believe that is how he really does his laundry. Maybe he was just trying to impress Alfred?
- Tommy Lee Jones is really hamming it up and I don't hate it.
- I don’t like this origin story about the Riddler. In the comics, Riddler is not as nuts as the rest of Batman's rogue gallery, and that’s what makes his stories kind of interesting. But nope, they made The Riddler kind of boring; generic kind of nuts.
... and then I stopped watching. The whole sequence of scenes with Dick joyriding the Batmobile, blaming Batman on his parents' death, and him begging Batman to take down Two Face together is so cringe worthy.

Young Money star Drake recently divulged into his love for the battle rap scene and why despite his confidence as an emcee, he could never see himself going head-to-head in a cypher.
Along with co-signing battle rapping, Drizzy named a few of his favorite rhyme spitters.
“I’m a huge fan of the battle scene. I’ve always been a fan of Hollow Da Don. Obviously The-Saurus is nasty; Iron Solomon is nasty. I always watch the URL TV battles even though I was really mad at the last one they did because the sound was so bad. But yeah, it gets me excited in the studio, to watch these rappers, to see them rap for a whole different cause. I rap to make albums; I rap to make radio records. But these guys prep for these competitions where my heart would be beating out of my chest if I ever stepped to another guy and I had to battle him [for] three rounds, long-ass rounds with so many raps to remember. So I get very inspired by that, seeing other people doing the same thing but doing it so differently.” (Village Voice)
Houston’s Paul Wall hit up SOHH this week and talked about his new battle rap iPhone game, “Battle Rap Stars.”
“I guess the first reason [you should buy it] is because this is the first app of its kind. There’s no other app that’s like this. When the opportunity came about, I didn’t really understand how it was possible to do it. I thought, “How can you judge a battle rap?” It’s got the same kind of concept as those karoake games on the Playstation and Nintendo Wii. It’s got the same type of concept. When they approached me about it, I was excited. I was a little skeptical about how it was going to be. It’s crazy because I’m not known for battle rapping, [yet] I felt that was an even bigger reason for me to be involved. It goes to show you that this is for anybody. It’s not just for battle rappers. Mistah F.A.B.‘s [featured] on there and he’s an incredible battle rapper. I’ve never really done a battle rap before, so this was really my first time getting to throw it down [trying it out] and it was a lot of fun.” (SOHH 5 Reasons)
In September, Rah Digga hit up SOHH and gave five reasons why fans should purchase her own battle rap mobile game, “Straight Spittin.”
“The biggest reason is because you can download it for free. So that’s the top reason there because it’s free. There are Pay-For options but for the most part, you can get into it for free and test it out. You get free trials and are alotted a certain amount of free battles in the free version. You’re allowed to browse through it but I do believe those free trials do expire after so many times. You can go to the $1.99 version which allows you to communicate with everyone else. There’s a little chat community that we have. It also allows you to go to different beats. I believe there are different beat packages you can get if you get tired of rapping to the default beats on there. So you can actually go and purchase a beat from known producers. I believe the $4.99 version allows you to practice in a rehearsal mode and you can store those onto a memory card. So whatever is going on in the App, you can store it on that version. The $1.99 version is a step below that. And with the free version, you get some trials.” (SOHH 5 Reasons)
In light of the underground culture going mainstream, SOHH reached out to renowned battle rapper Locksmith for his reaction.
“Hip-hop is a culture, first and foremost,” Lock told SOHH. “Battle rapping is something I’ve been able to get in and be succesful with, getting recognition and kind of getting that initial notoriety. It’s something that’s popular to a certain degree, especially with the underground. So anything that gets popular in hip-hop, you know we’re going to try to get money off of it. As hip-hop artists, we’re like, ‘If we can make money off of it, let’s try it.’ They’ll have video games and apps. That’s a check. I see why people do it because it’s a check but I don’t know how you can really do it by having a battle rap game or application. I don’t see how that would really be dope. To be honest. Even online, people would have online battles where you type out the words and to me, that’s something I never was interested in…I want to hear themusic and the lyrics. The whole idea of being in a battle rap is being surounded by a bunch of people. But if someone can do it and make money off of it, f*ck it, more power to them.” (SOHH)

Aquaman is back but this time he’s without his “Super Friends.” This film is all about the extraordinary half human/half-Atlantean being, Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa), or as he’s more commonly known, Aquaman, who assumes his rightful place upon the throne of Atlantis. For the Entourage fans, this is not scrawny Vinnie Chase dressing up in a ridiculous outfit for a fictional movie. This is the real deal; buff and burly Momoa plays the awesome character he was always meant to play.
Aquaman has incredible powers, which include superhuman strength, the ability to manipulate ocean tides, communicate with other aquatic life, and swim at supersonic speeds. This film is loosely based on the graphic novel, Throne of Atlantis, which sees Arthur’s half-brother Orm attack the surface world for supposed slights against his people. Similarly, in this film, Orm tries to unite the kingdoms of Atlantis under his command for an all-out war against the surface dwellers.
Director James Wan establishes Atlantis as a world unto itself. It’s a rich, vibrant place underlaid with intense colors. An incredibly intricate world, Atlantis is home to an entire people that sunk with the legendary city itself and adapted to breathe underwater. In this film we come to know more about Atlanteans, who they are as a people, their aspirations, and their motivations.
While Aquaman did not gain an extraordinary reception with other critics, I thought the movie was excellent. The battle scenes are teeming with aquatic creatures, and the fight sequences are well-choreographed. Its story is enticing and kept my attention throughout the movie.
The characters are fascinating, especially the villains Orm and Black Manta – they ironically exhibit admirable characteristics in their plights of villainy. Mera, played by the comely Amber Heard, does a great job of establishing herself as a warrior as well as Arthur’s love interest. The only shortcoming of the film is the soundtrack, which fails to add any significant emotional soundscapes complementary to the dramatic scenes of the movie. Overall, Aquaman is the best movie that has been released in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). Check it out!

This film is just fantastiC: the scenario isn't so original. The actors aren't new: We know them all but STILL: it is one of a kind, just the way how they move, react, get crazy in some scenes is fantastic. I found this movie as cool as G.O.R.A. so I don't have to say much more. One thing that so cool is is that they get so (un)lucky after each try to steal money. It's a very cheap film, but also a very good movie: These are the movies we need, not all the new-kind movies where we only see computer-effects and a little bit of real actor-prestation. Because I start to get bored of them. Turkish movies are so COOL. And I find it very unpassed to stay that you start to get bored of M. Ali Erbil.

The Witch (2015)
The Witch Plot Synopsis:New England, 1630: William and Katherine try to lead a devout Christian life, homesteading on the edge of an impassible wilderness, with five children. When their newborn son mysteriously vanishes and their crops fail, the family begins to turn on one another. 'The Witch' is a chilling portrait of a family unraveling within their own sins, leaving them prey for an inconceivable evil.
The Witch (2015) Review
The Witch (2015) is an American-Canadian horror film that was written and directed by Robert Eggers (The Tell-Tale Heart (2008), Hansel and Gretel (2007)) who excelled all of my expectations. I loved the trailer and was anticipating seeing this movie, but I kept in mind that Robert does not have much experience in the directing seat so the film might not be all that - I was wrong. The movie was all that and more and is something that I would recommend to all horror fans to see because it is a story that should not be missed. The Witch is the best movie for (2016) so far, and it will be hard for any other horror movie to excel The Witch. There was tension from the beginning of the film that will grip you until the ending, and the tension will be felt after you finish viewing this movie because you will find yourself thinking about the movie. Maybe young adults should not see this film because it might make you think twice about having kids since it deals with the exploration of female suppression.
The Witch revolves around a Puritan family who started to encounter evil forces in the woods next to their New England farm in the 17th century. William (Ralph Ineson - Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014), Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011), Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010)) is a deeply religious man. He leaves their home with his wife Katherine (Kate Dickie - Prometheus (2012), Red Road (2006), Filth (2013)), daughter Thomasin, son Caleb, and twins Mercy and Jonas because of a disagreement in religious beliefs. A few months later, we see Katherine giving birth to her fifth child whose name is Samuel. Samuel was kidnaped by a witch one day while Thomasin (Anya Taylor-Joy - Viking Quest (2015), Atlantis (2013)) while Thomasin was playing peek-a-boo with him. The witch kills infants so that she can rub her body and broomstick with the infant’s blood to fly.
Katherine and William, of course, are the most devastated ones in the family. Their grief has the biggest impact on Thomasin, who is not willingly landing herself in one trouble after another. Katherine started to blame Thomasin for all the awful things that are happening and is falling deeply into depression after one disaster strikes the family after another. William soon began to question his religious faith while Katherine does not give Thomasin a break because she suspects her daughter Thomasin is practicing witchcraft. The movie is sad but real as it can get.
The Witch is that best pure horror film of 2016 so far with its powerful storytelling of how mistrust, pride, and heartbreaks can rip families apart. It also explores how a simple betrayal to the powerful females can lead to an outrageous outcome. I could not believe my eyes while watching the third act because it was brutally unexpected although the movie appears to be straightforward at the beginning. The actors performances, production design, cinematography, editing, directing skills and dialogue/story that was taking mostly from documents and folklore from the 1600s makes this film a truly transcendent cinematic experience. The Witch did a phenomenal job building the mood, atmosphere, tension, creating horrific scenes, giving us suspense, thrills and a movie that we will think about long after we finish seeing it.

As I said in my earlier post, all the kung-fu in the world won’t help your fight scene if your characters are flat. That’s why this scene from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is so awesome. Not just because of the dizzying sword moves (there are a lot of martial arts movies with equally well-choreographed duels) but because it is a fight between former friends turned enemies. There is so much more going on than just two women trying to kill each other with pointy objects.
That being said, choreography, music and cinematography are important. After all, you are filming an action scene, and a good action scene should be, well, action-ey. Fight choreographers walk a fine line. Generally, viewers prefer to see battles that are more stylized and more fast-paced than real combat is like. But too much stylization, and the choreographer risks boring the viewer by breaking the fourth wall and reminding them that they are only watching a movie. For the fight to work, the audience needs a sense that their hero is in danger. That’s why the epic 10 minute long duel at the end of Star Wars Episode III (again with the fire and the Latin chanting—I’m seeing a pattern here) is less exciting than the briefer, simpler duel between Achilles and Hector from Troy. Although the Star Wars duel does achieve a certain grandeur at times and is undeniably impressive visually, it is hard to feel any sense of peril, as Obi-Wan Kenobi seems immune to heat and fatigue (are these Jedi powers no one told me about?) Not only that, it doesn’t seem like he’s even noticing the lava all around him (no doubt because this fight was shot on green screen in a studio). Ten minutes fighting above a whole planet made of lava, and he doesn’t even break a sweat. In the Troy duel, Achilles and Hector get tired, they sweat and stumble, and their blows come slower and slower as the sun beats down on them. You know, like in real life.
Not to say that stylization doesn’t have its place. In fantasy and sci-fi films, where the laws of reality may not apply, faster can be better. Take, for instance, the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon duel I mentioned above. Or Neo’s duel with Agent Smith in the Matrix. Unrealistic, to be sure. But even here, the filmmakers create a sense that Neo is in danger, even as he smashes through concrete with his fists. And that, in the end, what a good fight is all about. Suspense. Rooting for our hero against opposition. Emotional investment.
A Few Awesome Fight Scenes:
Emotional investment is a little hard to get without context. But fight scenes can be appreciated just for their choreography. Here’s a few more awesome action scenes, for your personal viewing pleasure. Not for the squeamish. Well, they are FIGHT scenes, after all.

Review this movie
Awards & Rankings
It's a comic book movie in the broadest sense of the term, and although it's neither as emotionally resonant as "The Crow" nor as surreally goofy as "Tank Girl," Barb Wire still manages to get you going, Anderson Lee fan or not.
The filmmakers must have known they were not making a good movie, but they didn't use that as an excuse to be boring and lazy. Barb Wire has a high energy level, and a sense of deranged fun.

Neo-Gylian Sound is a musical style that originated in Gylias in the 1990s. It updated the tenets of Gylian Sound in response to contemporary developments, drawing influences from newer genres such as disco, smooth jazz, smooth soul, hip hop, house, and dance-rock.
Coinciding with a period of renewed national optimism and self-confidence after the wretched decade, Neo-Gylian Sound became a leading form of Gylian popular music in the 1990s. It was the main driver of a renewed Gylian Invasion, giving it an impact abroad, and became a major music scene that formed ties with other local and foreign scenes. It also produced a subgenre, city pop, which represented the more hip hop and groove-oriented aspect of the style.
The term emerged in the 1990s, to differentiate the new generation of acts from their Gylian Sound forebears. It proved a useful shorthand to denote musicians who preserved the tenets of Gylian Sound songwriting but brought the sound up-to-date with contemporary influences.
Some musicians have jokingly expressed dissatisfaction with the term on occasion, reasoning that using "new" as a descriptor for a genre is a bad idea because newness is not a permanent quality. Mana Kirishima joked, "I'm old enough to have caught the old Gylian Sound when it was the new thing."
Neo-Gylian Sound takes the foundation of Gylian Sound — its elaborate orchestration and sophisticated songwriting — and combines it with elements from other genres. Particularly significant sources for the fusion of Neo-Gylian Sound include Philadelphia soul, disco, space age pop, jazz fusion, metro pop, house, hip hop, and dance-rock.
The evolution of music technology and the growth of Gylias' nightclub culture were crucial to the emergence of the style. Neo-Gylian Sound music keeps the fundamental elements of its predecessor, such as live instrumentation and quirky orchestration, and adds sampling, hip hop production techniques, dance beats, and greater use of sequencing.
One result of the greater use of technology and sampling is that Neo-Gylian Sound's worldview slightly shifts emphasis from its predecessor's, foregrounding demopolitanism. Neo-Gylian Sound's atmosphere of celebratory cosmopolitanism and egalitarian elegance draws heavily on the demopolitan understanding of urbanism and placemaking. Many acts that portrayed the glamour and excitement of travel did so from an egalitarian standpoint, drawing from the experience of GNRTS high-speed rail services and the leisurely system of touring.
The style's acts also shared a light-hearted admiration of the Golden Revolution and Groovy Gylias. They used famous figures of the 1960s in their artwork, music videos, or lyrics, and treated the music of the era as raw material for sampling, quotation, or fusion.
Neo-Gylian Sound musicians furthered the link between music and image established by their forebears. Stella Star in particular benefited from their lead singer Maki Nomura becoming a style icon and influence. Neo-Gylian Sound acts' releases displayed similarly strong influence from gauchic in aesthetics.
Foreign music journalists see "Neo-Gylian Sound" as an umbrella for various subgenres elsewhere called chamber pop, lounge revival, space age pop, and acid jazz — international scenes with which Neo-Gylian Sound and city pop built close ties.
After the Gylian Sound receded in popularity, several musical styles emerged in the 1970s–1980s that either continued its spirit or provided important inspiration for its eventual evolution, including electronic music, metro pop, hip hop, and dance-rock. The growth of Gylias' dance music scene and nightclub culture, and its crossover with pop and rock, provided a crucial foundation, as did the emergence of sampling as an art form.
The emergence of Neo-Gylian Sound is conventionally dated to 1990–1991. Commonly considered starting points include Stella Star's formation and debut, and Penny Arcade's shift from indie pop to a more eclectic dance-rock sound, followed by Keigo Oyamada beginning a solo career as Cornelius.
Similar to the role Confectionery Records played for Gylian Sound, Readymade Records established itself as a leading outlet for Neo-Gylian Sound, with Ritsuko Management becoming influential behind-the-scenes figures. Readymade's roster was mainly composed of Miranian Gylians and it deliberately cultivated a Miranian identity inspired by francité; it established several subsidiary labels to distribute the work of its non-Miranian acts.
Stella Star and Stereolab became the principal spearheads of Neo-Gylian Sound, establishing the blueprint for subsequent acts. While united by their musical eclecticism and cosmopolitan sensibilities, they took different approaches:
- Stella Star drew heavily on dance culture and extensively employed sampling, fusion, and cut-and-paste styles, producing music characterised by a mood of socialised luxury and joyous demopolitanism.
- Stereolab, starting as a shoegazing-influenced psychedelic band, drew on the "alien funk" strand of dance-rock, with extensive use of drones, looping, Krautrock influences, and politically-charged lyrics expressing anarchist and libertarian socialist viewpoints.
Neo-Gylian Sound consolidated as a distinct style and scene. Cornelius, Fantastic Plastic Machine, Yoshinori Sunahara, Combustible Edison, and Takako Minekawa made their debuts. Takako's lo-fi "bedroom pop" notably stood out among her colleagues, while Yoshinori became better-known as a songwriter and producer than a solo act. Strong supporters of the Law on Cultural Protection of 1992 and Gylias' growing remix culture, the Neo-Gylian Sound scene formed a close-knit community, and established strong ties with Gylias' other large musical scenes, including jazz, dance-rock, and psychedelia — post-rock bands coming to be associated with Neo-Gylian Sound through the Stereolab connection.
The mid-1990s caught the style in full swing, highlighted by Stella Star's "classicist" period and the emergence of the city pop subgenre. Neo-Gylian Sound found success abroad through a renewed Gylian Invasion, bolstered by the growth of the publinet. Its fusion of 1960s pop and 1990s club culture had a notable impact on the Megelanese and Delkoran music scenes, and gained strong popularity in Kirisaki and Akashi. It also found an unexpected audience in Æþurheim, a development that contributed to improved relations with Gylias.
The style followed contemporary developments in electronic and dance music, such as increasing big beat and drum and bass influences. Examples in the late 1990s include Stella Star's "speed lounge" era and Stereolab's increasing "alien funk" and jazz fusion influences. It also produced an associated "sister scene" of Francophone pop that included Air, Coralie Coudray, Charlotte Birkin, and Émilie Simon.
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Readymade Records prepared and launched a "new generation" of Neo-Gylian Sound vocalists, including Rin Maeda, Kaname Maeno and Tomoe Matsūra, Lý Quỳnh Vân, and the Vũ sisters. These and other acts sustained the style in a period when its main acts were either disbanding, entering hiatus, or changing their style.
By the 2000s, Neo-Gylian Sound had receded in popularity or evolved into other forms. The "new generation" of Readymade vocalists notably launched successful political careers with the People's Party for a Flourishing Nightlife, becoming a notable example of esteemed artistic figures becoming successful officeholders within Gylias' lively political culture.

Alice coincidentally travels to the day of Iracebeth's royal celebration, where a more youthful Mad Hatter derides the Red Queen when the imperial crown doesn't fit on her anomalous substantial head. In the mean time at the White Queen and the Red Queen's manor, at the time they are kids, Mirana takes a tart from her mom and eats it. She discovers that the cap that the Mad Hatter thought his dad discarded was really prized by him. This makes Iracebeth liquefy down, and her dad regards her sincerely unfit to control and passes the title of ruler to her more youthful sister, the White Queen. Alice Kingsleigh has put in the previous couple of years emulating her dad's example and cruising the high oceans.Next
. Not able to settle on a decision, Alice flees, and goes over her butterfly companion Absolem, who vanishes through a secretive mirror in one of the upstairs rooms, coming back to Wonderland. What about all the people who grew up in an abusive family -- who fled when they were teenagers, and later developed a close family relationship with a close friend's family, or with that of a future spouse? The Underlandians go to the Red Queen's new natural plant palace, where the Mad Hatter discovers his family contracted and caught in an insect cultivate. Alice learns of an occasion in Iracebeth's and Mirana's past that brought about grinding between the two and goes back in time once more, trusting it will change Iracebeth's ways and prevent the Jabberwocky from killing the Hatter's family. With the help of her friends, Alice must travel through time to save the Mad Hatter and Underland's fate from the evil clutches of the Red Queen and a clock like creature, known as Time.
A minor quirk in this film was that I had to turn on the subtitles to understand some of the characters. Those characters might as well be robots or space aliens. At a feeble Time's supplications, Alice and the Mad Hatter with the White Queen and now-solidified Red Queen utilize the Chronosphere to race back to the present as the rust continues to spread everywhere throughout the sea of Time and the mansion, where Alice puts the Chronosphere in its unique place in time. That is pure, wishful thinking that has absolutely no basis in reality. But the major drawback to this movie was its naive portrayal of human nature that borders on the offensive.
Untuk dapat menikmati kelancaran nonton online , silahkan gunakan chrome versi terbaru. Time gets to be distinctly immaterial, and Underland starts to solidify in a rust. Helen chooses to bolster her girl. In any case, the Red Queen secures them and takes the Chronosphere from Alice. Be that as it may, she alerts Alice about Time, and that if her past self sees her future self, everything will be history. After slipping through a mirror, Alice Mia Wasikowska finds herself back in Underland with the White Queen Anne Hathaway , the Cheshire Cat, the White Rabbit, Tweedledee and Tweedledum. All in all, this was a fun movie, but with a confusing and lackluster message.Next
Oleh Dunia21 Synopsis Alice returns to the magical world of Underland, only to find the Hatter in a horrible state. As Alice tries to counsel Time, she finds the Chronosphere, a question that powers record-breaking in Underland and will permit her to go to at whatever time before. Addison Bennett, a psychiatric specialist, tries to infuse her with a narcotic, with her mom Helen's consolation and help, she escapes and comes back to Underland by means of the mirror, where she goes to Horovendush Day, when the Hightopp family was killed. Alice keeps that crash yet neglects to change the past, as Iracebeth treks and hammers her head into a stone divider. Hamish gets the Kingsleigh family home yet not the ship. Upon her arrival to London, she runs over an otherworldly mirror and comes back to the fantastical domain of Underland and her companions the White Rabbit, Absolem, the Cheshire Cat and the Mad Hatter, who is not himself. Film online yang kami sediakan di dapatkan dari berbagai sumber di internet.Next
Alice could still pursue her dreams while paying an occasional visit to her mom. They educate her that Tarrant Hightopp the Mad Hatter is in weakness since his family is missing after the Attack of the Jabberwocky. This theme was sorely missing from the 2016 version of Alice Through the Looking Glass. When the Mad Hatter and Alice arrive, the Red Queen and her more youthful self have seen each other. With the Chronosphere settled, Underland, including those solidified, are returned to typical. The Mad Hatter and King of Time, for example, had really thick accents that made their spoken language hard to comprehend. While there, she encounters the younger Hatter and the evil Red Queen Helena Bonham Carter.Next
Alice says goodbye to her companions and comes back to this present reality through another mirror. Coming back to the present notwithstanding, Alice finds that the Mad Hatter is on the very edge of death. Alice sees that Iracebeth is going to keep running into a clock, suspecting that is the occasion that distorts her head and identity. The White Queen influences Alice to persuade Time himself to spare the Mad Hatter's family before, trusting her to be the special case who can spare the Hatter. The assault happened soon after his dad, Zanik, a cap retailer, appeared to reject Tarrant's endowment of a cap creation.
In any case, she alerts Alice about time, and that if her past self sees her future self, everything will be history. Alice overlooks Time's notice that the past is unchangeable, and takes the Chronosphere, soon after discovering Iracebeth of Crims, the banished Red Queen, under the watchful eye of Time. The movie then tries to show the viewer that if it weren't for this one single childhood incident, then the Red Queen supposedly would've turned out fine. Not able to settle on a decision, Alice flees, and goes over her butterfly companion Absolem, who vanishes through a secretive mirror in one of the upstairs rooms, coming back to Underland. There she discovers that the Mad Hatter Johnny Depp has lost his Muchness, so the White Queen Anne Hathaway sends her on a quest to borrow the Chronosphere, a metallic globe inside the chamber of the Grand Clock that powers all time.Next
Alice learns of an occasion in Iracebeth's and Mirana's past that brought about rubbing between the two and goes back in time once more, trusting it will change Iracebeth's ways and prevent the Jabberwocky from killing the Hatter's family. As Alice sets out, she winds up in an inauspicious mansion, where Time himself, a demigod that is part-human, part-clock, dwells. Just saw this movie last night. Her friends tell her that the Mad Hatter Johnny Depp is in a funk over the loss of his family. Anyway, the next interesting relationship in this film is the one between Alice and her mom.Next

GameSpew takes a look at how game narratives are changing, with a focus on Breath of the Wild, RiME and What Remains of Edith Finch.
why is botw on here? what's so ambiguous about it?
Yeah the narrative is pretty clear, I don't see how it would be open to interpretation.
RiME is awesome. It's not open to anything. It's pretty clear-cut. SPOILERS. The kid died falling off the boat. His journey is the stages of grief and the final scene is the father coming to terms with his son's death and if you did everything his wifes as well.

Hell's Kitchen (Tuesday, 8 p.m., Fox) has always gone over the top, but the cooking show's new season finds a way over the top of the top. In the intro, mean English chef Gordon Ramsay is styled as "The Dark Lord" and the contestants as "warriors" who must battle him in the bowels of hell. Demonic music blares, and flames erupt on the TV screen. You'd never know that the series is really about seasoning veal correctly.
In the first episode, the 15 contestants have 45 minutes to cook Ramsay their signature dish. He goes from plate to plate, insulting the chef. "That tells me a lot about you: simple, plain, blond, boring." Actually, "boring" is Ramsay's version of high praise. Most of the time he spits out the food and tells the chef to "piss off." After tasting one man's dish, he makes a show of vomiting.
The contestants are an unappealing bunch. During a men vs. women challenge, a doofus named Jason says, "I'll be damned if I'm gonna lose to a team of girls. The only way I'm gonna lose to a woman is, like, in an ironing contest."
That's when I vomited myself.
The Capture of the Green River Killer
Sunday & Monday, 7 pm (Lifetime Movie Network)
Tom Cavanagh of Ed puts everything he has into the role of a real-life Washington State detective on the trail of a serial killer in the 1980s and '90s. His against-type performance surprises you, as does the movie itself.
It's not just about gruesome corpses. Cavanagh's Dave Reichert is a substantial character, and so is a teen named Helen (Amy Davidson). The movie examines the social and economic conditions that drive Helen to prostitution, making her prey for the killer. Though hard on the outside, she's a thoughtful girl whose musings on chance and responsibility are heard in voiceover.
"Maybe our mistakes are fate too, not just bad choices, and we end up hating ourselves for something we had no control over."
Helen gives The Capture of the Green River Killer a touch of poetry. When's the last time you saw that in a serial-killer TV movie?
Sunday, 8 pm (HBO)
Part four dramatizes a series of extraordinary moments in the life of the revolutionary leader (Paul Giamatti). After a long separation, wife Abigail (Laura Linney) joins Adams in England. The scene in which they reunite does justice to one of American history's great love stories. Initial reserve gives way to passion, followed by tears of regret at the circumstances that kept them apart. Abigail's resentment seeps out, leading to abject shame on John's part. The actors make sense of these ping-ponging emotions, also treating us to the sight of a Founding Father in flagrante delicto. Wigs and breeches - kinky.
Another great scene is Adams' long-delayed homecoming after years of selfless diplomatic work abroad. He's become used to ridicule from Europeans and lack of appreciation from his own countrymen, so the hero's welcome in Boston harbor is a big surprise. The expression on Giamatti's face will move you to tears as he watches the crowd wave flags and shoot off cannons. I couldn't help but shoot off a small cannon in my own living room, catching hell from the neighbors.
Sunday, 8 pm (PBS)
Sense and Sensibility begins with very un-Jane Austen copulation: heavy breathing, lots of early-19th-century skin. Then it quickly switches to a normal adaptation of Austen's novel, with no explanation for the disconnected sex scene.
Maybe "normal" is the wrong word. The first half-hour is unbearable, featuring broad caricatures that would have made Austen gag. Mrs. Dashwood and her three daughters are kicked out of their estate following her husband's death. A weak-willed half-brother has inherited everything and allowed his evil wife to turn the womenfolk into poor relations. The music and cinematography are grotesque, as are the villains' exaggerated line readings.
Then comes another weird shift in tone. Suddenly we're in Masterpiece Theatre land, as the Dashwood girls search for suitable husbands. The pace slows and the scenes become proper and dull.
Did PBS think it was adapting a novel called Senselessness and Sensibility?
Sunday, 8 pm (Showtime)
King Henry VIII is a 16th-century hottie in Showtime's impressive series. As played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers, he's sexy even when flying into murderous rages. Which is most of the time.
In the second-season premiere, everyone obsesses over God. The Catholic Church doesn't think He wants Henry to get a divorce and marry Anne Boleyn (Natalie Dormer). Henry thinks He wants England to sever its ties with the Catholics. As the characters ponder these weighty theological questions, they wallow in lust, murder, torture and vengeance. Henry attempts to poison those who disagree with him, while the Pope (Peter O'Toole) recommends a hit job on Anne.
Piety - ain't it grand?

The synopsis below may give away important plot points. Edit page. CoffeeLatteWriter 28 June Being a fan of the director's work, I built this movie a bit too much up in my head.
But honestly -- it delivered on everything. It's funny, it's sad; there are happy moments, and deep emotional ones. But despite the drama and comedy going on in this, it also addresses problems going on in our world, and really made me think about these issues.
If you're a fan of the director's previous work, especially "The Host," then you won't be disappointed. Even if you're not familiar with his work, you won't be disappointed.
If you can get past the slight weirdness of this movie which might not fit everyone's taste , I can promise you that you won't regret watching this.
I wasn't expecting to like this very much, but I loved it. There is no much to say about it but to give it a shot and enjoy it.
It makes you think about many things, specially the treatment with have with animals and the relationship with our food consumption.
Kurtma 6 July Much like the concept behind Pink Floyd's "Animals" album, and with the great choice of music throughout this unsung gem, I was just waiting for the Song "Pigs" to start playing in the one of the scenes.
This film has great production, Acting and covers the rampant corruptness in many of our cultural accepted norms. Zakliz 29 June Okja is the story of a girl and her mutant pig, the titular Okja, told in the same vain as E.
Or Pete's Dragon. But it's also a satire of Corporate America, a heist film of sorts, and a expose on the moral conflicts of food production.
Now to some that sounds like a recipe for disaster, but in the hands of Bong Joon Ho One of the most exciting directors working today, a statement further cemented by the quality of Okja it's one of the best films of Okja in all its brilliance, might be Bong Joon Ho's most accessible movie yet, but it's also probably one of the strangest things your likely to see all year.
Here Joon-Ho further demonstrates his mastery of his filmmaking craft, effortlessly juggling tones and genres, composing scenes that brim with drama and excitement , and leaving audiences with another multi-layered commentary on capitalism.
Where the film may loose some viewers is in its tonal juggling and in a particular character. Firstly the films tonal sifts are elliptical to say the least, transitioning between outdoor adventure scenes, to low key drama, to high octane madcap chases, to blistering satire, to emotionally grueling drama, and at one point between heart wrenching thought provoking drama to slapstick comedy within the same scene.
Your reaction to this character might depend upon your sensibilities. I've read several reviews that describe his character as grating and unintentionally annoying, but I personally found him to be alternately hilarious and pitiful.
These factors might be a turnoff to some of you, but to those who are sick of the overly processed assembly line films that infest our modern multiplexes, Okja isn't so much a substitute so much as a revelation, that big budgeted auteur driven films are still plausible, and that films can entertain us while still conveying a nuanced message.
I can't recommend Okja enough, see it, and even if you find yourself disappointed or baffled, at least consider that it's something different from the over processed soulless films that plague American Movie theaters at the moment.
Bong Joon Ho's follow-up to future cult classic Snowpiercer is part sentimental childhood adventure, part hardcore animal activism movie and part surreal R-rated dark comedy.
Without giving anything away, the first two parts work much better than the third, frustratingly so. Seo-Hyun Ahn is wonderful as Mija, Okja's loving companion, and the first 30 minutes or so that focuses on their relationship is the strongest material here.
Unfortunately, the other performances are all over the map. Jake Gyllenhaal gives a career-worst performance as a "wacky", perpetually drunk, borderline psychotic television host, and he alternates between channeling Jerry Lewis at a 10 and what I can only assume is one of the prisoners from Silence of the Lambs.
It absolutely doesn't work at all, comedically or narratively, and he is the very, very, very low point of an otherwise enjoyable ride, completely at odds with the rest of the film.
How the studio, filmmakers or actors watched this excruciatingly cartoonish performance and found it remotely acceptable is staggering, but it's a Razzie slam-dunk if I've ever seen one and it severely detracts from the overall experience.
The surreal, eccentric subplot about Tilda Swinton's character and her corporate empire fares slightly better in that it is never cringe-inducing, but still feels at odds with the tone of the Okja-Mija relationship, which is perhaps the only part of the story played relatively straight, for the better.
The film doesn't dance around its unsubtle messages about animals, factory farming and GM foods, to say the least.
Some might be taken aback or even appalled at the unapologetic hardcore animal liberation themes, which include graphic, uncomfortable scenes of sadistic animal abuse, and even holocaust allusions.
Holocaust allusions in a kid's adventure movie, you say? Welcome to Okja. Did I mention the film is rated R?
Still, if you can be forgiving of some truly curious decisions about tone and plotting, you'll probably enjoy Okja - the best parts of the film, like the heartfelt Okja-Mija relationship and a handful of riveting, beautifully put together action sequences, are so good that it makes the less successful choices more palatable.
As of now I'd give it a 6. Excellent movie m-maru 28 June Exciting and excellent film. I was looking forward to this movie and the truth, it was so cute.
An excellent cast that meets and each acted excellent. The story so exciting, This film is the real love between a person and an animal.
From the beginning to the end she kept me entertained to the screen. Of the best films of the year. Do not miss the post-credits scene.
ReganRebecca 29 June Okja is a sort of scifi fairytale, one that is explicit with its very simple messaging but is nevertheless beautiful and heart wrenching.
Bong Joon-ho begins the film in when the CEO of a food corporation that is heavily invested with GMO's tries to revamp their corporate image by announcing a competition between 26 of their best super piglets.
The super piglets are sent across the world to be raised by farmers and in ten years one lucky pig will win the title of Best Super Pig and then apparently be consumed.
Fast forward to 10 years later when a thirteen year old Mija, a country girl living in near isolation with her grandfather, is raising her super pig in the idyllic landscape where they play, forage for apples, and fish together.
Things go awry however when she discovers that Okja her pig does not belong to her and will be carted off to America.
From here on the movie turns into an adventure story as Mija must brave the world in order to be reunited with Okja. The film is wildly cartoonish in tone, but if you go along with it and let yourself be enchanted by this world you'll find yourself on a wonderful emotional journey.
Some cheap CGI made me at first scoff at Okja, but as the movie goes on she seems more and more real till by the end I was near tears watching the film.
Great performances by known and unknown actors alike. Just a great movie through and through. Outright and audacious, Bong Joon-Ho's Netflix feature Okja might be one of the funniest films about animal and industry abuse that I'll ever see.
Combining a proper sense of quirkiness and wit, the film's clever message resonated through me even after watching it. I wouldn't call it a piece of vegetarian propaganda, though I can see why people find it too preachy to be entertaining.
For me, this film is more of a portrait of political cinema, on how the cycle of abuse works in the industry, and how the corporation has two faces: the smiling, jubilant heads they show to the public and the dirty, notorious brains they have, grabbing for money, behind the screen.
It isn't so much as an anti-meat film despite some of the plot points presented even with an inclusion of an Animal Liberation Front group.
The subject of the film is this super-pig hybrid which is supposed to serve as a revolutionary change in the meat industry.
Just like the animal, this film is a cross-breed of different genres, it is a satirical movie at first, then turning into an adventure film, and, once it moves to the third act, becomes a poignant view of the relationship between a young Korean girl and her pet.
This clash of genres don't always mix well, but I personally thought that the film was really effective in trying to engage its viewers into the story and into the journey of this young girl going through a personal transformation as she realizes that corporations and media aren't always as innocent as they seem.
Even the design of the super-pig is superb, it feels real and tangible and it doesn't overdo the CGI, which is great. The performances across the board are fantastic.
Among those that stand out are Ahn Seo- hyun, who really is the underdog protagonist of the film, Tilda Swinton, the head of the expensive industry, and Jake Gyllenhaal, who puts sort of a quirky and charismatic magic into his character, Dr.
Johnny Wilcox. The first half of the film is excellent, while the second half didn't really do a good job of tying all the subplots together, so some of the narratives really fell loose during the end.
I did like what turned out of Mija and Okja, but I wanted to see some resolution for the other narratives, especially the Animal Rights group led by Paul Dano's character.
Okja is a great spectacle, combining enough weird lopsidedness to it while still feeling realistic in a dystopian, sci-fi, coming of age style.
I did like how Joon-Ho tackled issues of corporate capitalism, but this film could've improved on how it transitioned between genres and on how the tiny narrative coincided together at the end.
Having that said, Okja is still worth a watch; it is surprisingly funny, eye-opening, and personally one of the best Netflix has to offer currently.
The satire is neither subtle I assume that "Mirando" was as close to "Monsanto" as the producers' lawyers would allow nor clever the wicked capitalists are just stupid and greedy strawmen and the characters played by Jake Gyllenhaal and Tilda Swinton are over-the-top to a point of being almost unwatchable.
These weakness are unfortunate, because if the story, script and acting were up to the level of the outstanding special effects, the movie might have become a classic children's film.
The take-home message of "Okja" is pretty blatant and judging by some of the gushing comments about this film, director Joon-ho Bong was often 'preaching to the choir', but I don't think that the film is either clever or 'real' enough to actually change peoples' minds about meat "Babe" didn't and an actual piglet is a more sympathetic character than a CGI hippo-pig, however well rendered excuse the pun.
Also undermining the story and the message is the frequent and gratuitous use of profanity, which seems to have been included more for cheap laughs than for story or character development, and seems out of place in what struck me as basically a movie for the kids.
M Rated 30 August While I enjoyed the quirky rural scenes of the film the sledgehammer- to-the-face "moral" story really brings this movie down.
The over simplification of the story coupled with so many "funny" scenes and characters makes this feel like a children's film yet it is so full of unnecessary swearing you'd think the writers were paid by the number of f-bombs.

Based on the songs of Dustin Hamman, Run On Sentence involves a rotating cast of musicians and could easily be a one man show or a 12 piece extravaganza.
Dustin’s musical tastes span many genres but have always been rooted in folk. He had an early fascination with American Indian singing and early punk rock… later he explored the blues and the origins of country, eventually gaining interest in early jazz, swing, and big band. During a short life in Florida he also discovered Latin rhythms and became intrigued by Flamenco and Classical Guitar.
Although band members come and go, William Joersz (double bass) has been a regular member and major influence on the music. Other Portland artists such as John Vecchiarelli, Nick Jaina, Loch Lomond, Heroes and Villains and Shoeshine Blue have donated band members to the project and have been tremendously influential.

Bottom line: I can't understand why anyone would object to this movie being made. For one thing, it's not like the making of this movie means that the original movie is going to be wiped from reality. It's still out there to be seen and enjoyed.
But let's be realistic, it was never going to spawn a sequel. It would have been lovely if it did. But 20+ years down the line, with Bill Campbell far from being a box-office draw? No Way! Instead, we're getting a chance to start all over again. And trust me, if this sucks donkey testicle, no-one will be more critical than me. But as it is, we're getting a new Rocketeer movie. And a week ago, we didn't have a new Rocketeer movie. So as far as I'm concerned, that can only be a good thing.

Review by GreenyGamer
"Capcom. Can I kiss your feet?"
I have played countless Megaman games. But the idea of "beast" that Capcom brought to us in this version was astounding. It is a great game to have and the best of the whole series.
We find ourselves in year 200X and the story takes place in a town called ACDC. The main character, pretty much everyone in the world has a device called a PET. So we find out Lan Hikari, the main character, is leaving his beloved town, ACDC, because his Dad got transferred to Cyber City. He has to adapt to the new town and gets a new school. The ending was outstanding and seemed surprising.
Game Play: 9/10
The gameplay in this game is very smooth and nice. You will find yourself exploring the net in many areas. You can get onto the net by "jacking in" to certain areas. Including computers, toilets, and many other places. Everyone has Internet warriors or "Net Navis" inside their PETs, which they use in fights on the net or "Netbattles." Each NetNavi fights on a 3x3 field. During Netbattles you can use your buster or battlechips. You can charge the buster and shoot a powerful shot or just rapidly shoot it. For battle chips you use a variety of different powers and combos. With over 250 battlechips, including Megachips, GigaChips, and SecretChips. When you get more into the game you get a special ability to use crosses with other navis. You pretty much just fuse with a navi you've met and get their special abilities. When you get even more into the game you get more crosses, giving you even more special abilities. During the game you get "Beast Out", which gives you the powers of the Cybeast Gregar. During Beast Out you get a vulcan-like gun instead of a buster which shoots at a rapid speed. Also when you have a non-element chip hold down A and you will charge up and slash twice at the enemy. Also when you're using a cross and use beast you will do "Beast Cross", which pretty much crosses Gregar with that navi's cross. One more thing, is the Navi Customizer. With this you pretty much use programs that can increase/improve certain stats for Megaman or help him during netbattles. This is pretty much the gameplay and everything you can do.
The graphics in MMBN6 have the best so far in any BN game. Each Navi has it's own unique design and with all the awesome areas this game is just beautiful. The graphics may not be perfect but it just has that special style that makes it cool.
Yup. This is the same music that's in every Battle Network game. Especially the Net music. But it's still good enough for you to hum while playing. Sometimes you just get annoyed of the music though and find it repetitive.
At first it was like any Battle Network game but then we were introduced to Beat and Crosses. With new chips, new bosses, and new areas this has to be the best Megaman Battle network game. Good jod Capcom.
Final Score: 9/10
Reviewer's Rating: 4.5 - Outstanding

Finally, a "Descent" Horror Movie for the Ladies...
Just came back from seeing "The Descent" (yes the title is supposed to be a play on words - decent/descent get it?). Anyways, this movie is scary... A couple S*** your pants moments, and a lot of lot of blood (think Dario Argento-style blood), but not gratuitous... A group of daredevil women decide to go caving... What they don't know is that their friend took them to an uncharted cave and there's bad stuff in there... Claustrophobic, dark and scary, well worth your time if you like the scary movies... However, if you go see it, come back here and view the original UK ending (don't bother watching the end if you haven't seen the movie as it won't make any sense):

Want To Know How To Write PC Game Reviews?
Relaxing after a tough day is a better way to relax your favorite PC game? It doesn’t matter if your preferences are more about complex first-person shooters or simple hidden object games. Being late for an hour or two on your computer screen may be enough to forget your question. If you are one of those game lovers and want to try a variety of games, why not try to write PC game reviews?
Don’t let anyone tell you that PC game reviews are not important. People don’t buy old games at will, especially if their budget is limited. How do they decide which titles they should or should not buy?
- They played a demo of the game and they liked it.
- This is the last episode of the beloved series.
- He received a good PC game comment.
Viewing the title of your favorite PC game (먹튀검증업체) can be a fun way to share your passion for a particular type and help other enthusiasts make informed decisions. Not only that, but there are a lot of websites that really pay for writing PC game reviews. The focus here is on writing well. Everyone has their own opinions, and everyone can write them on paper. He should show that you have actually made a problematic title by providing concise and useful information.
The first thing to remember is not to be too ambitious. Stick to the type you care about. This will keep you focused and objective, rather than revealing prejudice bias against the game or if a particular headline result is a surprise, too embarrassing. However, focusing on one type of PC game is not without flaws. You can easily get tired of lack of new things, forgetting that your readers are not necessarily as obsessed as you are. Choose a subset of similar game types to compose your PC game reviews. For example, if you like RPG, why not include strategy and time management titles in your collection?
The comments written on PC games depend to a large extent on the knowledge of your audience. Are you dealing with hardcore or casual gamers? Determining this in advance will tell you exactly how deep it needs to be. Ordinary players may not care about all aspects of the game, and the most loyal fans may not care about the beauty of the color.
This gives us an idea of the PC game itself. What type of things should you emphasize?
Requirements: This is usually one of the most important parts of any computer game review. The fact that someone might be interested in a particular title does not mean that it was created to run on your computer. Be sure to list the manufacturer’s specifications and the computer’s specifications (if they are different). Some games can still run normally on PCs with lower specifications, but games and graphics often have problems.
Type: There was a time when the game type was very clear. Now, there are more types that you can calculate, and most people prefer at least one or two. Be sure to indicate the type of game you are watching. Be as specific as possible. Don’t just say this is a first person shooter. Was it established during a certain period of time? Is it classified as a horror of survival?
History: This doesn’t apply to small games, but most large games have a very complicated story, especially role playing. Why is it important? Many players like to immerse themselves in the story. If the plot doesn’t make sense, the game often doesn’t look satisfactory unless you like to walk and hit objects for no reason. You don’t have to give all the plots. A brief summary of whether it is reasonable.
Games: This can cover a lot of things, depending on the type of PC game comment you write. Navigation is common to all games. Is the control easy to use, can it be defined by the user? Are you allowed to record your progress? Does the game have multiplayer features and how do they work? You may prefer to play alone, but many players prefer to share fun.
Graphics: There are games, especially fantasy and action adventure types, frankly amazing.

Before he stunned the cinematic world with the epic 'The Decalogue' and the 'Three Colors' trilogy, the great Polish filmmaker Krzysztof Kie?lowski made his first work of metaphysical genius, Blind Chance, a compelling drama about the difficulty of reconciling political ideals with personal happiness. This unforgettable film follows Witek (a magnetic Boguslaw Linda), a medical student with an uncertain future in Communist Poland; Kie?lowski dramatizes Witek’s journey as a series of different possibilities, suggesting that chance rules our lives as much as choice. First suppressed and then censored by the Polish government, 'Blind Chance' is here presented in its complete original form.
Krzysztof Kieslowski's 'Blind Chance' film somehow always reminds me of Bill Murray's character in 'The Darjeeling Limited', as he is trying to always catch that train. We don't know who he is or why he's trying to catch the train, but he always seems to fall short of stepping on that platform. In Polish director Kieslowski's later career, he made the 'Color' trilogy, consisting of 'Red', 'White', and 'Blue' with 'Red' being my favorite of the three, and even being one of my top movies of all time.
But back in 1981, Kieslowski made a movie called 'Blind Chance', which was halted from release by the polish government until 1987, where it was released in a censored version. It wasn't censored for violence or nudity, but for it's central tone of communism, which was a big social and political issue when this movie was being made. After a few minutes into the film, you'll figure out why the communist government wasn't to keen on showing this movie, which showed all of the destruction, lies, and betrayal that came out of the communist party.
The film is set in three different sections with three types of scenarios and outcomes that follow a man named Witek (Boguslaw Linda) who is a young student of medicine, trying to get over the death of his father. He is becoming n adult and must decide what he really wants to do with his life and what path he wants to take to get there. Each segment starts off with running, trying to catch a train, as he is late and running into a guy with a beer. It's here where the story changes and provides a different outcome.
In the first segment, Witek boards the train and mixes it up with a communist buddy who convinces Witek to join him in the communist agenda. Although soon, he realizes that this party is full of lies and harmful practices that even a former love interest can't get behind, but he continues to struggle through it.
In the second segment, Witek misses the train and runs into a police officer, knocking him over. He is then arrested and sentenced to prison where he meets the leader of an underground movement. After being released and interrogated into talking about this underground movement, Witek joins a group of anti-communists, but becomes Catholic in the process, where he still doesn't seem that happy.
In the final section, Witek apologizes to the guy with the beer after almost running into him and fails to catch the the train. However, he sees a former love interest named Olga where they hit it off almost immediately. Witek decides to not take a political side, finishes medical school and has a family with Olga now. However, the heated political sides are ramping up, forcing Witek to make a decision on which path to take as people from the previous sections start to show up.
This is not a happy-go lucky film by any means. In fact it's quite gloomy, thanks to cinematographer Krzysztof Pakulski and his very bland and cold colors of blue and grey throughout. Nothing is inviting about this movie as Kieslowski tried to show what life was like in a communist society. That's what 'Blind Chance' does so well too, is that this film mostly showed the inevitable destruction of this political class system before it actually happened through the eyes of a young man who just wanted to be successful and have a family. It's quite brilliant.
The Blu-ray: Vital Disc Stats
This Blu-ray edition of 'Blind Chance' comes from The Criterion Collection with spine #772 on a Region A locked 50GB Blu-ray disc with a clear keep-case. Included is a fully illustrated foldout Criterion booklet with an essay from Dennis Lim and an excerpt from a 1993 book based on interviews with Kieslowski. In addition to that, there are the tech specs and cast and crew info. There are no trailers that play before the main menu, which has menus screen options and the Criterion logo.
'Blind Chance' comes with a great 1080p HD transfer and is presented in 1.66:1 aspect ratio. According to the Criterion booklet, this is the uncensored version of the film that was restored in 2012. This is a digital transfer that was created in 4K resolution from the original 35mm negative and was approved by cinematographer Krzysztof Pakulski. The film looks great, possibly the best it has ever looked. The detail is strong and vivid throughout, especially in the well lit sequences outside, showing great detail in closeups and wider shots. Closeups show excellent facial features and fine stitching in the wardrobe.
Wider shots never go soft either, giving the image some excellent depth. Colors are natural and well balanced, although there are several scenes that needed to have the brightness level turned up, as things looked to gloomy and dark, which created some crush. Other than that, this video presentation looks great. The grain is well balanced and never fluctuates, keeping with the filmic look and the black levels are mostly deep and inky. Skin tones are also natural. There were no major instances with any compression issues either, leaving this video presentation with great marks.
This release comes with a LPCM 1.0 mix in Polish with great English subtitles. This simple audio track does its job well, although I would have rather had a stereo mix or even a 5.1 option, but I digress. This newly remastered audio mix is fine tuned and deep with range as the score sounds excellent and full, never overdoing it.
The sound effects and ambient noises are all well balanced as well here and are never unrealistic or overly loud. The dialogue is always crystal clear and easy to follow along with the subtitles. Lastly, there were no pops, cracks, shrills, or hiss to notice. This might not be a fully immersive track with tons of explosions, but it gets the job done with the type of film this sets out to be.
'Blind Chance': Unshelved (HD, 19 Mins.) - A new interview that was conducted in 2015 for this release with film critic Tadeusz Sobolewski, where he talks about Kieslowski's career and time spent making this movie, and relating it to the political and social awareness of the era.
Agnieszka Holland (HD, 6 Mins.) - An interview from more than a decade ago for the DVD version with director Agnieszka Holland, where she talks about the first cut of the film and the hardships of making this movie.
Censored (HD, 10 Mins.) - This film was was halted from being released, because of its sensitive political subject matter, but was later released with changes and missing scenes. These are the scenes in their original form.
Criterion Booklet - The usual Criterion booklet with an essay by Dennis Lim and an excerpt from a 1993 book based on interviews with Kieslowski. In addition to that, there are the tech specs and cast and crew info.
'Blind Chance' is an important film about a man who is given three chances to make the right decision in a communist riddled society in the early 1980s. Kieslowski brilliantly shows us his struggles and chance meetings as our main character Witek tries to catch a train, and the following actions that he takes to chose a life of good, no matter what obstacles may come his way. The video and audio presentations are both top notch from Criterion, and the extras are all worth watching as well. Criterion has knocked this release out of the park and is highly recommended.

Is Quizly fun for you? Support us by getting a Premium subscription.Get Premium
Many comic book superheroes are distinctly identified by their costume colors. The same set of colors is usually repeated in their respective logos, and it becomes a huge part of every hero's identity.
Did you know that Daredevil once had a lot more yellow incorporated into his costume? The dark superhero's costume is currently mostly red and black. The yellow was initially used to depict a more carefree image, imitating colorful circus tights. We have grown accustomed to seeing Captain America in the classic red, white, and blue ensemble, and we cannot imagine him donning any other colors. However, for a brief period of time Captain America wore black instead of blue to reflect a darker personality when he became disillusioned by a secret military panel.
In this quiz, we'll present you with the color palettes of several superheroes. See if your color memory is super-powered or underpowered by picking the matching superhero.

As the sun sets on the Twilight saga, its stars have embarked on diverse paths, illuminating their careers with new roles and experiences. Today, let’s take a stroll through the careers of the Twilight alumni to see how they’ve confirmed that their days as vampires are indeed behind them.
Kristen Stewart Shines Beyond Bella
Kristen Stewart‘s evolution from the lovelorn Bella Swan to an actress of critical acclaim is nothing short of remarkable. Her post-Twilight trajectory has seen her become the first American actress to win a César award for her role in Clouds of Sils Maria. Stewart’s performances in films like Still Alice have been lauded for their nuance and depth. With a strategic selection of roles in indie films such as The Runaways, and blockbusters like Snow White and the Huntsman, she has shown a commitment to diversifying her acting portfolio. As she steps further away from her Twilight roots, Stewart continues to reclaim the promise that marked her early career.
Robert Pattinson’s Artistic Leap
The journey of Robert Pattinson from the brooding Edward Cullen to roles in critically acclaimed films has been an intriguing one. Pattinson has been involved in projects like The Rover, Maps To The Stars, and has portrayed T.E. Lawrence in Werner Herzog’s Queen Of The Desert. His choice of roles demonstrates a desire to work with interesting filmmakers and stretch his acting capabilities. Pattinson’s decision to play Batman was an
immediate yes, further showcasing his eagerness to explore varied and iconic characters beyond the vampire genre.
Taylor Lautner Navigating Post-Jacob Life
Taylor Lautner‘s career since playing Jacob Black has been a mix of highs and lows. While he enjoyed massive popularity during his Twilight days, his subsequent film choices like Abduction, Tracers, and The Ridiculous 6 have not garnered the same level of success. Lautner’s foray into romantic comedy with Valentine’s Day showed his willingness to diversify, but it seems he is still searching for that next defining role that will recapture audiences’ attention.
Ashley Greene Embraces New Challenges
Famed for her portrayal of Alice Cullen, Ashley Greene has since taken on roles that push her beyond the supernatural realm of vampires. Her work in films like The Apparition, where she played a veterinary student haunted by spirits, highlights her readiness to tackle different genres. Despite her self-confessed aversion to horror, Greene’s participation in such films speaks volumes about her desire to grow as an actress, proving that there’s life after Alice.
Kellan Lutz Explores New Horizons
Kellan Lutz, known for his role as Emmett Cullen, has continued to make strides both on-screen and off. His involvement in CBS’ FBI: Most Wanted is a testament to his ongoing commitment to acting. Off-screen, Lutz is embracing fatherhood, having announced the arrival of his first child with wife Brittany. His ability to balance personal growth with professional pursuits indicates a seamless transition from his vampire days into a well-rounded life journey.
In conclusion, the stars of Twilight have each taken unique paths since their days as immortal beings. From indie films to blockbusters and even into the realm of television, they’ve grown and evolved as actors, closing the chapter on their vampire roles with grace and determination. Their journeys remind us that even after the most defining roles, there is always another act waiting in the wings.
Tell us what's wrong with this post? How could we improve it? :)

Bayou is releasing a new mixtape called 'Loopback' through Double Denim, the label he co-runs, in May. The mixtape will be the most substantial offering from the alternative pop singer/producer to date, and from early glimpses, it'll also be the most experimental one. The first song from the mixtape, Airlock, was a mixture of stabbing bass, wobbles, and helium vocal FX, and new song Thugs is all rumbling bass and handclaps. It's all a bit wonky, making it a far cry from the relatively straightforward (but nonetheless highly accomplished) alt-R&B of early songs like Cherry Cola.
Double Denim release 'Loopback' on May 12th 2014.

Hi! Give a brief history of the band, music style, and the members.
After a really good rock jamming session between the original bandmembers drummer (S Westelius) and Guitarist (M Stille), they decided to browse the internet for two more members. They found the bass player T Hermanssen and later on singer J Sjöberg, on bandfinder.se. The quartet is into grunge style and got their act together and made their first album 2013.
Give in more detail, some information about your latest album and how well it sells?
The latest album is due for release March 19th and so we will see how well it sells but probably not too bad since there has been a revival buzz about grunge rock lately.
You have signed with Sliptrick records, tell more about that?
Sliptrick manage heard us on an internet radio channel and contacted the band for an offer they could not refuse.
What inspires yourmusic and lyric writing? What does your lyrics talk about?
Music is developed from state of mind and hard reality of wicked world we all live in right now.
Do you play live often? Do you like abroad gigs?
We play about once a month and would really enjoy abroad gigs.
How often does the band practice and work on new material?
We practice once a week. When we meet, we spend half time on playing a gig set and the other half to explore new song ideas or just riffs. Usually a full structure is set and the lyrics is added on later.
How did the band come up with the name and tell what does it means for you?
The name came up from Kiss Alive I when Paul Stanley screams ‘We’re gonna bring the roof down’, because we all felt that is our ultimate mission with our music- to make people feel good.
What does the band plan on doing in near time?
Near-time plans right now is to release the new album and follow up with gigs.
Any message to Sick and Destroy readers?
For those with the slightest interest in grunge-rock, please come taste the band on Spotify, Tidal or by CD, because we think there are a couple of songs for every grunge-lover’s teste in there.

Lurking beneath the radar of mainstream popularity, The Orville is a hidden gem in the vast expanse of science fiction television. A relatively uncelebrated entrant into the genre, this series has quietly charted a unique course through the television universe since its launch in 2017 and currently expanding series.
The Orville ventures where few shows dare to tread – it dares to explore new themes while fondly evoking a sense of nostalgic familiarity, blending the charm of classic science fiction with a contemporary touch.
The Orville Has One of TV’s Best Captain
It’s not uncommon for science fiction shows to position a satrong, charismatic captain at the helm of their narratives. However, few have managed to encapsulate the role’s depth and complexity quite as well as The Orville’s Captain Ed Mercer. Portrayed masterfully by Seth MacFarlane, Mercer deftly straddles the line between authority and camaraderie, demonstrating a leadership style that is not just about enforcing commands but about empathy, vulnerability, and humor. His unique blend of qualities offers a fresh perspective on the stereotypical image of a captain in science fiction narratives, making him a standout character on the small screen.
When assessing Mercer’s character, it’s hard to ignore the sense of realism that MacFarlane infuses into his portrayal. Yes, he is tasked with navigating his crew through the cosmos, facing potential dangers at every turn. Yet, Mercer doesn’t shy away from revealing his flaws and insecurities. This humanity doesn’t make him weak; rather, it renders him relatable and endearing to the audience. Also, his propensity for humor—a testament to MacFarlane’s comedic roots—adds a unique flavor to the show, breaking the tension in heavy moments and providing comic relief that feels natural, never forced. Indeed, the magic of Mercer’s character lies in this beautiful balance of drama and comedy, seriousness and lightheartedness, command and friendship. It’s a recipe that TV hasn’t seen often, and one that viewers of The Orville have come to love.
The Series Delivers a Captivating Mix of Comedy and Adventure
The Orville, a jewel in the crown of modern television, demonstrates an impeccable blend of comedy and adventure that truly sets it apart. In the creative hands of Seth MacFarlane, a trailblazer in the world of comedic storytelling, The Orville presents a unique televisual experience where the far reaches of the universe become a canvas for laughter, curiosity, and exploration.
Within the cosmos of The Orville, we are not just spectators but co-travelers aboard the eponymous exploratory spaceship, journeying through space and time alongside a lovable and diverse crew. MacFarlane, the series’ creator, and star, serves up a cocktail of well-crafted humor and edge-of-the-seat adventure that is as thought-provoking as it is entertaining. The charm of the show lies in its ability to marry comedic moments with dramatic undertones, thereby reflecting the complexities of the human condition against the backdrop of the vast and uncharted cosmos.
The Orville is Overshadowed by Sci-Fi Shows From Bigger Franchises
Imagine a vibrant galaxy, teeming with illustrious science fiction entities, their presence illuminating the canvas of our televisual cosmos. Among these, The Orville sails, an understated spacecraft navigating the starry expanse since its launch in 2017. With its innovative storytelling approach and endearing character dynamics, the show offers a delightful divergence from the norm. However, its nuanced artistry often remains overshadowed, lost in the magnificent glare of larger, more established franchises.
The dominating entities—giants such as Star Trek, Star Wars, and Doctor Who—cast long, daunting shadows across the genre’s landscape. Their intricate narratives, spiraling across time and space for generations, have engendered fervent fandoms. These monumental franchises, rich with their immersive mythologies, pose a formidable standard for any fledgling series. And thus, The Orville, despite its creative excellence, grapples to claim its rightful spot in the limelight. Yet, this unsung narrative is not merely a speck of stardust in the vast cosmic expanse of science fiction—it’s a hidden constellation, a testament to the undiscovered beauties lurking in the genre’s shadowy corners.
The Orville masterfully brings together comedy and adventure, presenting viewers with a refreshing and distinctive blend of genres. Despite facing challenges posed by larger franchises, this series possesses the potential to captivate and entertain. By recognizing its merits and providing it the attention it deserves, viewers can embark on a delightful voyage filled with humor and science fiction storytelling. The Orville serves as a reminder that hidden gems can shine brightly, delivering a truly rewarding viewing experience within the bustling sci-fi universe.

Yuri Lowenthal Confirms That's Him In Helldivers 2
13.02.2024 - 15:43
You might've noticed that one of the four Helldiver voices sounds suspiciously like a certain webslinger who also calls the PS5 home. You'd be right - they're voiced by none other than Yuri Lowenthal, AKA Spider-Man.
"Received word I can confirm my involvement in Helldivers 2," Lowenthal tweeted. "And in case it wasn't clear, my performance was HEAVILY inspired by Starship Troopers."
Starship Troopers is a film based on a '50s novel about an interstellar war with an alien species of arachnids, set to the backdrop of the 23rd century. It stars Casper Van Dien, Denise Richards, Michael Ironside, and Neil Patrick Harris to name a few.
If you want to dole out some democracy with Spider-Man himself, you can equip Lowenthal's voice at the Armory - he's Voice Pack 2. The other options include Critical Role and Hi-Fi Rush star Robbie Daymond, Starfield and Call of Duty actor Julie Nathanson, and fellow Spider-Man alumni Erica Lindbeck, AKA Black Cat.
If you want to hear Yuri Lowenthal in action, you can watch a clip of a player using his voice pack below.
He comically screams about his arms and legs as the player is flung back, the screen thickening with blood as a warning pops up telling them that "Both of [their] legs are injured". Just in case Lowenthal's exaggerated terror didn't give it away.
If you haven't played Helldivers 2 and want to pick it up to see what all the fuss is about, you might want to wait. Given the huge influx of players, there are some major bugs and server issues, even impacting progression.
Here at TheGamer, we scored Helldivers 2 four stars , praising its deep combat and satirical tone.
A patch was rolled out last night for PC to try and mitigate the problem, but it was rolled back after it was found to have caused severe performance issues. However, hotfixes are being deployed to try and iron out the kinks.

why is it in anime guys hate to see the girls get raped but in ero games and hentai its okay? like when I watch furture diary or black lagoon and it flashes back to a chick getting raped it kills me. but when its on a hentai or ero game I like it......I think it has to do with character devolpement. its funny with anime I always want the main character to get laid and when he does he ends up dead........example school days. I have 2 other examples but I don't remember the names of the animes
Well, let's say that because of many different reasons I can't play the VN, and I want to enjoy it so I was actually looking for a playthrough with no voices of the user playing of all routes with english text and voices in Japanese. The only things I could find were the non ero versions of the game and only one route. Please tell me if you know about any videos out there that fit those reqs. Thanks in advance

Ritchie Blackmore & Christmas Carols
I've been hanging onto this gem since June, I think its time enough to post it. Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple fame, ended up forming a folk-medieval-renascence-king-Arthur type music band a few years back with lover, Candice Night. In the following video he discusses how Christmas carols were once banned by Oliver Cromwell (the bastard) because they are actually pagan in origin and considered "Satan's Music".
CGI Ritchie Blackmore
Candice Night doesnt say much in the vid but her presence is awe inspiring. You can almost make out the leash she has around Blackmores throat. What has happened to the man who once wrote hard hitting tunes like Smoke on the Water. Where is the guy that smashed up cameras with his guitar on stage. Not only has he lost his hair but he seems to have lost his attitude too. Candice Night is the new Yoko Ono! Ah well, as long as he plays the guitar and she blows his flute who cares.
Who am I to comment anyway, I have two Blackmore's Night albums myself! If you want more, here's the video to "Christmas Eve":

POWFest—an acronym for both Portland Oregon Women's Festival and Power of Women Festival—is a four-day extravaganza of 78 films whittled down from over a thousand entries. Starting March 2 at the Hollywood Theatre, the festival is celebrating its 10th birthday. And it's not running out of breath.
"This year, we're in celebration mode," explains Tara Johnson-Medinger, executive director of POWFest. "We have a performance by Milck, who was made famous by the D.C. Women's March, a whole education day with panelists entrenched in Hollywood, the NW Film Center and our first guest of honor, Cheryl Dunye."
Sarah Race's new mini-doc follows Crispin and Jan Elsted, a fittingly fictitious couple, who have dedicated their lives and marriage to producing "beautiful" things. Specifically, fresh, flamboyant covers for classic books. "The useful and the beautiful are necessary together, and that's the function of what we do," exclaims Crispin. However, the Elsteds are getting old, and their millennial—that's right, millennial—daughter Apollonia isn't interested in the family business. "My generation doesn't put passion first and foremost," laments the millennial Apollonia. 12:30 pm Sunday, March 5.
With the running time of an extended music video, Kendall Goldberg's Swipe Right falls somewhere between thriller and horror. In the film, which follows a young girl on a Tinder date, everything that could go wrong does, and not in a "doesn't get a second date" way. In an "innocent people get fragments of wine glasses lodged in their necks" way. In step-by-step Tarantino fashion, this tart daydream exposes the same feeling most of us are certain to experience come the Love Actually sequel. You're going to have trouble understanding why it's so damn short. 9 pm Thursday, March 2.
Black Cat is a paradoxical, deformed love triangle between a teen witch, her left-brain single dad and the family cat. Directed by Leonie Savvides, this 15-minute Australian selection has some sincerely sinister moments as it explores the life of a young girl hell-bent on either killing her father with some ratchet black magic, or turning her cat into a demon so it'll do the dirty deed for her. 9 pm Friday, March 3.
SEE IT: The Portland Oregon Women's Festival screens at the Hollywood Theatre on March 2-5. See powfest.com for the full schedule.

Overall iTunes Match has been worth it. There are some very interesting anomalies.
In some cases Match fails to match songs on an album for inexplicable reasons. Several albums of early 80's genres were matched for all but one song. Though the album had been ripped and encoded in a single shot something prevented these songs from being matched.
An even more interesting case is this album of Franz Danzi Concertos:
Note that Match found 6 of the 7 tracks and uploaded just one. However this album is not available in the US iTunes Music Store (not sure if it's available elsewhere). The third track is available as a part of another collection but the other tracks are not available. Yet with Match I can (and have on another computer) update these tracks to a better encoded version of the tracks.
Another interesting bit is that Match will not overwrite your metadata. If you have a song title, artist etc incorrect it won't change that. It will, however, match the song with the correct song from the correct artist.
One of the bigger disappointments was some iTunes Originals albums and some Pre-order bonus tracks that are not available any longer in the store and though similar versions of some tracks are available they aren't eligible for upgrade where the same track. While disappointing it is to be expected and there don't seem to be many options for licensing this content otherwise.
Finally when iTunes Match detects duplicates it seems to have no rhyme or reason for which is labeled as the first and which is labeled as the duplicate. This matters because you then have to pick through the list to determine whether you're deleting a lower-quality or protected recording in favor of keeping a DRM free file.
All of these are relatively minor and the service is great after a day. It does take a while to match 15K files. If you have cable or DSL you quite likely will see quite a bit of time spent in the uploads as those services tend to be limited upstream capacity, but setting it up to run overnight can help a great deal.

It’s no secret that in the last five or six decades, pop music has gotten…less complicated (I originally typed “crappier” but journalistic integrity prevailed). Gone are the intricacies of Swing, Jazz, and the Big Bands, replaced by thumping beats and simplified melodic hooks. And before you dismiss these observations as the rantings of old guys who just don’t get it, be advised that statistical analysis is on our side.
A 2015 study of over 500,000 albums across 374 subgenres of music compared objective measures of complexity and discovered that as genres become more popular, they become more simplistic. Although each generation may believe that their progeny simply has no taste, the truth of the matter is more insidious—it’s driven by simple capitalism. Record companies want to promote music that is relatively certain to sell well, and that leads to a great deal of imitation and outright repetition. This not only explains why “Yesterday” by the Beatles has been covered by over 2200 different artists, but also why so many of today’s Top Ten songs sound so similar to each other.
Recording companies are using an impressive amount of metadata analysis when searching for the next big thing, but thus far they have focused primarily on human artists. Soon, they may have the option to avoid dealing with pop divas, and let the computers create the music directly. A San Francisco-based AI company, OpenAI, recently debuted a project known as Jukebox, which not only writes pop music, but does so in the styles of successful recording artists of the past. By breaking down music into primary building blocks called “lexemes” the program can then reconstruct something that sounds like the artist originally sampled. The result is a song that’s hauntingly familiar, that you’ve never heard before.
There are several startups that are already producing made-to-order AI music, and even human/AI collaboration opportunities. While this may sound like a brave new world of creativity, the likely result is more simplified, similar-sounding music. Why create something new, when a deepfake track that replicates a deceased proven seller like John Lennon or Freddie Mercury is cheaper to produce, and just as likely to succeed?
It seems unavoidable that this technology will lead to litigation, but copyright law as it stands now is ill-equipped to handle this kind of issue. Recently, Jay-Z’s management company had YouTube pull down AI-generated tracks that used the rapper’s voice and style to rap Shakespeare and Billy Joel lyrics. No official ruling has been made yet, and as it is the first suit of this kind, it is likely to be a protracted case.
There is also a deeper ethical dilemma, especially when the artists being faked are deceased, and beloved by a rabid fanbase. On a particularly surreal Frank Sinatra deepfake track—Old Blue Eyes is heard singing a Christmas tune about “hot tub time”— one commentor described it as “The screams of the damned.” Another track featuring Elvis Presley is even more disturbing, as the King is clearly heard to sing “human flesh, for sacrifice”.
The slightly garbled, Max Headroom-like quality of these tracks makes it clear that they are fakes, but that glitchiness will, no doubt, vanish in subsequent iterations of the software, and an avalanche of lawsuits seems unavoidable. Although I personally found the tracks I listened to quite humorous, I doubt I would be so amused if the artist being copied was one that is near and dear to me—I don’t need an AI David Bowie messing up treasured glam rock memories, and neither do you.
Just to be clear, here at the Planetary Broadcast Network, we support AI/Robot Personhood, and we think you should too. Stay tuned to keep up on developments in this and other stories of the ongoing Robot Revolution.

Re: the real reason
Oddly enough, the music hall entertainers said the same thing about radio and tv. It stops them from doing the same act every time. They have to come up with new material.
TV and Radio didn't kill entertainment acts.
Video didn't kill the radio star (c) Buggles or whoever wrote it :-)
Home taping didn't kill music.
YouTube won't kill live concerts.

The biggest platform to showcase your dancing talent to the world is back with a bang. Zee TV's very popular dance reality show Dance India Dance is all set to give an opportunity to the new dancing talents to come out and just 'Dance It Out.' Yes, DID Season 4 is back with this new tagline.
Talking about the concept of 'Dance It Out,' Grandmaster Mithun Da told TellyBuzz, "Whenever I used to feel sad, I used to prefer dancing so that I can forget all my sorrows and enjoy my happiness. I was just thinking that how can dance matter in someone's life and the message should be passed amongst the people that they don't need to get upset rather they should just dance it out as dancing gives a lot of positive vibes."
He further added, "Dance it out is the thought which I wanted to inject in people making them realize that we can even speak about lot of things going around us through dance."
The season 4 of Dance India Dance is going to have a new set
of judges namely Muddasar Khan, Shruti Merchant and Ferozz Khan. Talking about
this change, the Grandmaster told us, "Change is the sign of growth. Remo Dsouza, Geeta Kapur and Terence Lewis will always be a part of DID. This time this change has been
brought up in the show by introducing these three judges who have earlier worked as choreographers. I
have been observing them from quite a long time. I have worked with Muddassar
earlier. So, after their names were suggested to the channel, they will be soon judging the performances of the contestants on the show."

Robert De Niro Stars in Weird UK Bagel Ad
Robert De Niro is known for being an incredible actor and for playing mob bosses really well. That’s what made him the perfect fit for a UK bagel commercial. The latest ad for Warburtons features De Nero explaining to someone I presume is the CEO of Warburtons how De Niro will take over as the king of UK bagels. At least, that’s what I think is happening. It is odd how De Niro is playing himself and not a mob boss, but still has goons like a mob boss. Wait, does De Niro have mob goons? Is that a thing? Enjoy a fantastic performance by De Niro in weird commercial for bagels.

The Dark Knight Returns...With A New Outfit!
This being the internet, I'll go over what I don't like first:
What is the point of this ultra-segmented body armor? Batman's costume is supposed to look like a horrifying supernatural demon to bad guys - you're not supposed to see the nuts and bolts of the thing. I know they want this stuff high-tech and realistic, but this just looks like robo-cop.
Giving the cowl more mobility sounds great, although I wonder if it will be strange not to see movie-Batman pivot his entire body when he wants to look at something? Now that I think about it, that's a big part of his on-screen persona. Pivoting.
Now the good:
I know I just said I didn't like the segmented armor, but that shoulder plate is badass - putting the Knight back in the Dark Knight!
I'm intrigued by the implied extra-functionality of the cape. We know from the last movie that its "memory fiber" fabric allows it to act as a hang-glider, and it was fire-proof in Batman Forever, so what else? Is it a magic carpet? I HAVE TO KNOW!

The Strokes' 'weird' reunion
- Bang Showbiz
- 5 January 2011
The Strokes bassist Nikolai Fraiture has admitted the group found it difficult when they reunited after a five year break and said there was a ''weird energy''
The Strokes admit there was a lot of "weird energy" when they reunited after a five year break.
The New York band are preparing to release the follow up to 2006 'First Impressions Of Earth' and bassist Nikolai Fraiture admitted the dynamics had changed when they first came to record.
He said: "We didn't really break up but we didn't see each other for a long time.
"When you get back together there was a lot of weird energy flowing around. There are different dynamics in the group in different ways."
Nikolai promised the latest album would return to the group's "classic sound" but revealed singer Julian Casablancas - who has admitted at one point he took himself out of sessions for the record -recorded his vocals separately.
Speaking to BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe he said: "Usually we're always in a room and changing stuff and doing it all together. It's all a learning experience."
He also revealed the group - which includes Nick Valensi, Fabrizio Moretti and Albert Hammond Jr. - did not preview any new material at UK festivals last year because they didn't want songs to leak on the internet.
Nikolai said:"We didn't really want to play anything new because in the age of the internet we didn't want the new songs to be heard in a c****y way.

A lot of the things you'll find odd when you read a scene from Shakespeare are there because it's a play. Learn what it all means now and save yourself a lot of confusion.
Plays are written to be Acted.
There is a massive difference between a Shakespeare play and a novel or short story. A novel tells a story by describing it to you. A play tells a story by showing it to you.
You don't get any long describing bits in a play. The actors show the audience what's going on by the way they say their lines - laughing, shouting or whatever - as well as what they say.
The audience don't have the playscript in front of them, so the actors have to do all the work.
When you read the play you have to do all the work. You have to work out what's going on just by reading the scenes.

From Tim Burton’s blockbuster that kickstarted the Batman series in 1989 to James McTeigue’s V For Vendetta, here are 12 movies like The Dark Knight for fans of the thriller genre.
Christopher Nolan redefined superhero movies with The Dark Knight. He singlehandedly changed the landscape of blockbuster storytelling shooting 28 minutes of the film in IMAX, the first Hollywood feature film to do so. Nolan further explores the themes of chaos versus order by creating leads who’re essentially two faces of the same coin. The Joker, immortalized by Heath Ledger’s chilling performance is one of the most iconic antagonists of all time. His action while seemingly random is designed to uncover the hypocrisy of the sole protector of Gotham. In a rare moment in mainstream moviemaking, the film actually lets the villain win.
In this list, we take a look at some of the classics that influenced Nolan to make his masterpiece along with modern action films that borrowed Nolan’s template to mount their own stories successfully.
1. The Man Who Laughs (1928)
The Man Who Laughs is a silent film based on an 1869 Victor Hugo novel of the same name. This gothic romantic movie explores the lives of Gywnplaine, a disfigured son of a nobleman who rescues an infant, Dea from imminent danger. Scared that Dea might find him ugly because of his deformity, he never confesses his love for her. Can this story ever have a happy ending?
Upon release, it wasn’t very well received by some critics feeling that the subject matter was too morbid. It’s only recently that this small German film has found its audience with the great Roger Ebert calling it “one of the final treasures of the German silent Expressionism.” Legend has it that comic book artists Bob Kane and Jerry Robinson were heavily influenced by Gywnplaine, a character from this 1928 classic when they were creating The Joker. DC even released a graphic novel in 2005 titled Batman: The Man Who Laughs as a homage to this film.
2. Tim Burton’s Batman (1989)
Tim Burton’s blockbuster kickstarted the Batman series, providing the basis for the multiple full-length feature films, tv series, and video games that would follow. One of the biggest selling points of the film was its distinct visual style that was far ahead of its time. Michael Keaton effectively expresses the psychological torment behind Wayne, while transforming into a robotic figure when he dons the Batman suit. Jack Nicholson’s unhinged portrayal of The Joker is one for the ages. He intentionally goes over the edge acting as an interesting counterweight to Keaton’s take on the protagonist.
This movie was panned by film-goers who were expecting a campy cartoon but were instead shown a gritty tale featuring an elaborate battle between two freaks. But with time, it began to be embraced by critics and comic book aficionados alike. They seem to be in particular awe of the exquisite set design. Take a journey into Burton’s psychological world to truly understand where the fascination with the Caped Crusader started.
3. Falling Down (1993)
Joel Schumacher attempts to tell the story of an average American infuriated with the injustices he has to face. Micheal Douglas plays William Forster, a stereotypical consumer who’s pragmatic and psychotic in equal measure. As fate would have it, he comes into the possession of a number of weapons capable of mass destruction. William’s sudden change in fate brings him closer to Martin Pendergast, a detective who’s going through a crisis of his own.
A large part of why Falling Down works is because we’re vicariously enjoying Michael Douglas’ character smash up the things around him and dish out punishment to the people that aggravate him. Robert Duvall’s Pendergast is also sharing similar feelings of angst. But unlike William, his aggression takes a more subdued course. Falling Down isn’t just your average shoot’em up film. It’s more of a scathing social commentary that reflects upon the impact of a person’s environment on their actions.
4. Heat (1995)
Micheal Mann’s Heat is, without a doubt, one of the greatest heist movies ever made. It features two of Hollywood’s biggest legends Al Pacino and Robert De Niro on opposite sides of the law. Al Pacino plays a hardened detective while De Niro takes up the role of a street-smart criminal. Like The Dark Knight, Heat features an iconic bank robbery scene and an unforgettable confrontation between the two leads.
Heat is one of those rare movies that delivers beyond its promises. Mann takes care to craft every scene meticulously and casts great actors for even the smallest of roles. The writing makes us care for every character which is rare for an action flick. This makes the movie go beyond the confines of the genre, making for a supremely entertaining watch. It may have been more than two decades since this film released, but there’s not a single scene that feels dated. Every action block still feels as fresh as it did all those years ago.
5. Enemy of the State (1998)
Enemy of the State stars Will Smith as a Washington DC-based lawyer whose life is thrown for a toss when he finds incriminating proof against the government in the mysterious killing of a Congressman. Jon Voight plays the government official hellbent on making Smith’s life a nightmare. He plants sexual gossip in the paper, cancels his credit cards, and even attempts to pin a murder on him. The film tries to examine the unethical surveillance system used by governments that illegally track phone calls to look for trigger words. Voight wants a communication bill passed and is ready to destroy anything and anyone who comes in the way of his objective.
With nowhere left to go, the lawyer decides to turn to a shady former American spy named Brill for help. Brill, played by Gene Hackman lives in a rundown warehouse building and has withdrawn himself from the public eye. He explains to our supposedly fugitive lawyer how the government monitors personal conversation in the name of keeping the country safe from external threats.
Tony Scott of Top Gun fame gives us a fast-paced thriller that concludes with a shocker of a finale. Watch Enemy of the State for its frenetic pace and exhilarating chase sequences.
6. Collateral (2004)
The second Michael Mann movie on this list, Collateral is a tense thriller where the story mostly unfolds within the confines of a cab. Max (Jamie Foxx), a taxi driver is convinced by the suave, smooth-talking Vincent (Tom Cruise) to drive him around the city. Max is in for a shock of his life when he realizes that his passenger is a seasoned assassin and that the stops he’s making are all targets.
Mann gives us a glimpse of LA in all its glory, bathing the City of Angels in shades of blue, black, and brown. Tom Cruise effortlessly switches between charming and ruthless. On the other hand, Jamie Foxx’s wonderfully subtle performance captures the vulnerability of the character effectively. But, the script relies on too many coincidences to keep things moving. But, all in all, Collateral is one wild car ride that you need to hop on right away.
7. V For Vendetta (2005)
It’s hard to believe that the superbly staged V for Vendetta was James McTeigue’s debut feature. Based on Alan Moore’s graphic novel of the same name, this movie narrates the story of a masked anarchist, voiced by a spectacular Hugo Weaving fighting against a corrupted, authoritative society. In this process, he rescues an employee of a state-sponsored television network. Evey (Natalie Portman) soon comes to realize that there might be some truth to his revolutionary statements.
Hugo Weaving’s charismatic portrayal of the masked anti-hero is a treat to watch. Portman holds her own and lends the film its emotional core. Like The Dark Knight, V for Vendetta features stretches of well-choreographed action, filmed by the late cinematographer Adrian Biddle. Visually, it’s a spectacle to behold and is further accentuated by Dario Marianell’s rousing score. V for Vendetta is a thrilling adventure that is also extremely relevant in today’s socio-political climate.
8. Watchmen (2009)
Zack Synder’s adaptation of Alan Moore’s graphic novel of the same name is a dark, absorbing thriller that like The Dark Knight tries to subvert genre conventions. The story takes place in an alternate universe teeming with masked warriors and superheroes. The government scared about the power they hold decides to outlaw their existence. But, the mysterious murder of a vigilante, The Comedian brings back the Watchmen. Rorschach who wears a mask with shifting inkblots believes that this might be part of a larger conspiracy. This investigation of his forces him to confront a truth that could alter the course of history as we know it.
Watchmen features an eclectic group of superheroes, each flawed in different ways. This allows us to get into their heads and truly understand the weight of their actions. It is a deeply visceral film that generates a feeling akin to flipping through a graphic novel.
9. I Saw The Devil (2010)
Kim Ji-Woon’s I Saw the Devil is a visceral thriller that is clearly not for the faint-hearted. The plot revolves around the thrilling cat and mouse game between its two leads, one a violent psychopath, other a cop. Their paths cross when Soo-Hyun’s girlfriend happens to be Kyung-Chul‘s latest victim. Will the honest cop get his shot at retribution or will the devilishly smart killer continue to evade him?
Byung-hun Lee and Min-sik Choi are great in their roles and complement each other well. While Lee plays the calm and collected cop with restraint, Choi goes all out and is madly expressive. They’re both written to be neither completely black nor completely white. The viewer is left to form their opinions about the characters. The fight scenes have a brutal sense of realism with the leading men turning to hand-to-hand combat at one point in the film. If you’re looking for a visceral film that doesn’t hold back on violence, I Saw the Devil might be the one for you.
10. Skyfall (2012)
If there’s one villain from recent times who was carved directly from Heath Ledger’s Joker in The Dark Knight, it has to be Raoul Silva from Skyfall. Silva, played by Javier Bardem is a cyber-terrorist who formerly worked for the Secret Intelligence Service. A suicide attempt gone wrong when he’s captured by the Chinese scars him psychologically. Years later, he’s left seeking revenge against the very organization that deserted him. He builds a criminal empire from the ground up by crippling economies with his improved hacking skills. By the time Bond squares off against him, Silva is drunk with power with a limitless reserve of money and resources.
Sam Mendes mimics Nolan’s approach to his protagonist by having Bond look inwards and confront the weight of his actions. Silva despises M believing that she’s the reason for all the suffering he had to endure. But, he can’t get himself to pull the trigger when he has her at the point of his gun. He may have been vanquished by Bond, but his plan ultimately succeeds as M collapses in Bond’s arms.
11. John Wick (2014)
There are only a few action thrillers that have managed to gather a huge fan following as The Dark Knight. John Wick is certainly one of them. It breathes life into the tried and tested formula of an anti-hero getting dragged back into the world of crime after he loses something dear to him. In this case, it’s an adorable beagle named Daisy. John Wick reinvigorated Keanu Reeves’ career, cementing his position as an action star who’s here to stay. He appears calm and collected even in the most intense of scenes. It’s this Zen-like quality that lends him such a poised but brutal physicality.
Chad Stahelski and David Leitch put all their experience as stuntmen to good use giving us intricately choreographed set pieces. Cinematographer Jonathan Sela’s stylish visuals help create an immersive world populated by nefarious Russian mobs. John Wick has now transformed into an insanely popular franchise with a fourth movie reportedly in the works.
12. Joker (2019)
Todd Philip’s latest film, Joker is a deeply disturbing origin tale of one of DC’s crowing creations The Joker. It was always going to be a big ask to follow up Heath Ledger’s iconic portrayal of the madman, but Joaquin Phoenix comes pretty darn close. It’s a performance of a lifetime that surely was Oscar-worthy in one of the best movies of 2019. Phoenix stars as Arthur Fleck, a struggling comic who’s trying to make ends meet by dressing up as a clown. He’s on the verge of an emotional breakdown when a revelation about his past steers his further descent to madness.
Joker tries to humanize the antagonist by suggesting that it was the people around him that drove him to seize control and embrace chaos. Todd tries to highlight the importance of mental health, but I’m not sure how effective that was given that it’s been overshadowed by the debate about the film supposedly inciting violence. Putting that aside, Joker‘s a thoroughly engrossing film with an electrifying performance from its lead actor.
There you have it. That’s my list of movies that I think you’ll enjoy if you liked Nolan’s The Dark Knight. I’ve included some classics along with modern action thrillers. I’d also recommend you to check out Batman: The Animated Series that features the great Mark Hamill as The Joker and Christopher McQuarrie’s brilliantly executed Jack Reacher.

on 31 August 2002
Wendy Rule has done it again. Where "Zero" was a diverse collection of songs based on each card of the Major Arcana in Tarot and her second album "Deity" was a more gothic presentation of the different aspects of the Goddess, here she plunges head on into a concept album proper. "World Between Worlds" is a musical journey through the Underworld, into our shadow selves on a dark voyage of discovery before re-emerging back into the light of day at the end.
Happily, this album sorts out what were the weak points of "Deity" - namely, the heavier more standardised use of synthesiser, with sounds which occasionally shifted into the distracting, such as on "Artemis" where she threw in an Addams family style organ sound on the verses. Thank goodness there is none of that here. It is mostly an album moving on creating an atmosphere of darkness and the stillness in that darkness, so there is a lot of guitar & piano with a more acoustic feel. The violins and cello we've also come to expect from Wendy are also there. The drumming is subtle and the synth work doesn't jar or shock but accurately completes the atmosphere of mystery.
The opening track is steady, to a drumbeat and an echoing speaking Wendy outlining the mysteries of the festival of Samhain (Halloween). The question is asked about how to cross into the Otherworld when the veils between the two are thin. This track then moves into "The Call" a very slow waltz on guitar as night falls and draws the searching soul in. This is so chant-like it is hypnotic and positively hummable. "Animus" is the first song proper and details meeting with one's shadow side. The beauty of choosing a more acoustic arrangement really comes home in this song. "Singing To The Bones" returns us to solo voice and solo guitar as she sings very gently and slowly to the owner of the bones - are they hers, someone else's, or both I wonder ?
"Three Colours" begins with Wendy singing to a shamanic drumbeat, soon joined by piano and guitar and charts the sorrows of love. "Hail To The Moon" - what an absolute joy, this is the track pagans and witches alike have been waiting for, a truly authentic priestess-style call to the moon that is not cliched or twee. It is a capella, draped in echo, perfectly conjuring the atmosphere of deep night, this rivals the best of gregorian chants in terms of singing skill and contains so much genuine passion that the album is worth the cost for this track alone. The only track that could follow something like that would have to be the title track, and so it does. "World Between Worlds" brings the instruments back in steady reverence for Wendy's declaration of love for the dark world and the suffering at being parted from it by the sunrise. "Under The Willow" is based around steady piano chords and low cello notes, lending it the feel of late-night singing in a smoky bar somewhere. The song, of course, speaks of the need to confront our own fears and darker emotions. If you thought you couldn't drop lower into the dark spaces of your soul, prepare for "Slow Down". Almost spooky, with chord changes reminiscent of the best her previous albums offer and the occasional "off"-notes of the high piano range. Beautiful melody of memories in this study of faith.
"Evolve" repeats the chant of "Dissolve" and develops it further lyrically with a different synth arrangement. This shifts the album into a new change and position into "Entropy". This song really has the fullness of a single and contains all instruments in probably the most lush arrangements heard on this album. It asks many questions about how we may or may not move through our suffering and what we may or may not gain through it. This leads, unsurprisingly to the well-read pagan, "Innana" which lyrically is one of the most bare songs, paring itself back to its bones (pun intended). The addition of a remarkably subtle djembe into the guitar and low synth drone really evoke the quiet Middle-Eastern origin of a slowly walking Goddess. This would also make a superb chant (for those of you who like your rituals with a bit of chant !)
As Inanna is possibly the most well-known archetype of the Underworld journey, the only way really to go from here is up, which Wendy does. The final song "Creatures of a Day" is like the coming of a dawn. We move away from the steady chords, the low notes, into a simply picked guitar and some gentle piano. The cello works long notes to back up her vocals at times and at others works a sweet counterpoint, with violin occuring on this track too. It affirms our need for daylight and that the only constant in life is change.
I really can't recommend this extraordinary album enough. It is real night-time listening and the thought and skill that has gone into it shines like a light in that darkness. I look forward to her next album.

"Would you like me to ram love songs down your throat, love songs that I don't believe in? People used to say that U2 have never written love songs - well what do they want instead of that? I mean, do people prefer lies? I think that's the question people should ask."

I am often reminded of the old saying “When you are in balance, everything else falls into place.
I guess balance is the key to the whole game. Balance is the fundamental component of the game. The way you have it, you have balance in your mind. If you don’t get too close to it, you may as well not get to it. Balance is like a game, and it works pretty well. You have to make up for it, and if you take a little bit of money out of it, you can have a little bit of a better game.
In the original Deathloop, the entire game was played in a single day. This is what I mean when I say that balance is the fundamental component of the game. This means you have to keep the entire game in check. This means you have to get the most out of your day. At the end of each day, you have to do what is best for the game, and if you don’t you will find yourself in a bad situation.
In the original Deathloop, the ending was a long, drawn-out, depressing, and frustrating process of killing everyone and putting on a bad game. It wasn’t a game in the traditional sense. In Deathloop, there was always a good ending to the game. The player’s job was to find that. If you are patient, find the best ending. If you take the time, you will find one.
The process of finding the best ending in the original Deathloop was the same thing every day, and that was a real pain in the ass. The people who did the work to find the best ending were the same people who did it every day. But with the new version of the game, there is no longer work to be done. The end is always, always, always the same.
There will be a set of endings, but they are not the only endings. The game will not tell you after you win the game that, “Well, that was the best ending for you!” Well, you will be going on a journey and you will discover new ways to get your points. Your ultimate goal is to end up with 50% of the points from all the endings that you have. That is the end of the story. The game will never end.
There’s not really a balance formula to this game, just an ending. There are some very cool endings in the game, but the ones that stand out are the ones that are the kind of endings that I’m talking about. As a side-character, I’m pretty sure that a lot of people’s favorite stories in the game will end with Colt making friends with a girl, getting a new motorcycle, and getting a hot meal, all within the first few hours of the game.
It is a very simple formula. The end of the story is the end. There are no more characters. No more plot. Just the end.
Yeah. The end of the story is the end. The game is just the ending. Maybe if Colt had a girlfriend, he’d have some more story to tell. Or maybe he’d have more friends. Or maybe the game would end differently.
I don’t know. Maybe I’ll start thinking about Colt now, instead of just the end.

"Need for Speed" Movie Review: 2 1/2 Stars
by Michael Phillips
In the race between interesting, long-ish screen noses belonging to good young actors, it's simply too close to call between
Both English performers and their noses appear in the exuberantly stupid time-killer (and if logic were applied, pedestrian-killer), "Need for Speed."
"Need for Speed" is based on the Electronic Arts gaming franchise begun in 1994, back when dinosaurs ruled the Earth and gas was quite a bit cheaper. This was when video games banking on vehicular homicide weren't yet realistic enough to erase the experiential boundary between animation and live-action escapism.
The point of the movie, of course, is to make the mayhem as fakey-realistic as possible, and that paradox guides a fairly
entertaining series of stunts from
When the actors are in cars, the movie's fun. When they get out to argue, or seethe, it's uh-oh time.
Tobey's our hero, the brooding garage mechanic and street racer played by
Paul has talent, though the actor's idea of simmering intensity in the context of "Need for Speed" comes off more like "serial killer in the making." Cooper, by contrast, seems to be having some fun playing a dashing, dastardly, sexy beast.
At its occasional best, the thrills in the film recall the delirious fun of the "Fast & Furious" franchise. Hanging
out at his small-town drive-in early in the picture, Tobey and the gang enact their little drama of romantic jealousy and
street rivalry while, on the screen behind them,

Ah, the magic wand! The quintessential tool of every wizard, fairy godmother, and stage magician. It's been a staple of the magic world for centuries, but have you ever stopped to wonder where it all began? Well, my dear friend, grab a seat and get ready to be whisked away on a journey through the history of the magic wand. And don't worry, you’ll be back on Facebook in no time.
Our story begins way back in ancient times when people believed in all sorts of wacky things, like gods with the heads of animals and a flat earth. It was during this era that the magic wand first made its appearance. However, it wasn't quite the wand we know and love today. Instead of the sleek, slender stick we're accustomed to, early magic wands were more like big sticks with various animal parts stuck to them. You might find one with a bird's beak, some feathers, and a claw all attached to a gnarled branch.
At this point, you might be wondering what kind of spells these early wand-wielders were casting. Well, let's just say they weren't exactly making things disappear or levitating objects. No, their spells were more along the lines of "I hope this stick doesn't break when I whack this wild boar with it." Needless to say, early magic wands didn't exactly inspire awe and wonder.
Fast forward a few centuries to the Middle Ages, and we start to see a bit of a shift in the magic wand landscape. People were starting to get more creative with their spells, and the wand began to take on a more refined appearance. Instead of random animal parts, wands were now made of polished wood and adorned with precious stones. The wizards and sorceresses of the time were feeling pretty fancy with their shiny new wands, and they weren't afraid to show them off.
But, as with all things in life, there were some who just couldn't keep up with the trends. Take Merlin, for example. The dude was a powerful wizard, no doubt about it, but his wand game was seriously lacking. Legend has it that he carried around a big ol' tree branch that he'd found on the side of the road. I mean, come on, Merlin. You couldn't spring for a ruby or two?
It wasn't until the Renaissance that the magic wand truly came into its own. With the rise of humanism and scientific inquiry, people started to view magic as less of a mysterious art and more of a systematic process. And what's more systematic than a sleek, uniform wand? That's right, folks, it was time for the magic wand glow-up.
Wizards and witches of the Renaissance era began crafting wands that were not only beautiful but also had specific properties that could enhance their spells. Want to cast a spell that's particularly potent? Use a wand made of oak. Need to cast a spell at a distance? Go for a wand made of willow. The possibilities were endless, and the magic wand quickly became a symbol of power and prestige.
Of course, not everyone was on board with this newfound obsession with wands. Some saw them as a crutch, a way for lazy wizards to rely on their tools instead of their own innate abilities. And then there were the purists, who believed that magic should be practiced without any external aids whatsoever. These guys were basically the magic equivalent of CrossFit enthusiasts, always talking about how they "didn't need fancy equipment to get results."
But love 'em or hate 'em, the magic wand was here to stay. It made its way into popular culture, appearing in countless books, movies, and TV shows. Who can forget Harry Potter's trusty wand,

Bowie’s Low embodies a modern spirit
Released in 1977 by RCA Records, Low was David Bowie’s 11th studio album, and it was destined to become acclaimed as the first record in what became known as the Berlin Trilogy together with Heroes and Lodger. During the recording of Low, Bowie was in recovery from cocaine addiction and his mental state was more precarious than ever. Nonetheless, he managed to achieve an equilibrium between the avant-garde electronic music and the sensibilities of pop and glam-rock he had already explored in the Young Americans and Station to Station years. With its balance between paranoia, isolation, and withdrawal, Bowie’s Low embodies one aspect of the modern spirit.
Low Profile and Low Moods
The roots of the album lie in Station to Station and the soundtrack of The Man Who Fell to Earth – a movie based on Walter Tevis’s novel. The movie starred Bowie himself, in the role of an extraterrestrial who lands on Earth trying to find a way to ship water to his dying planet. The cover artwork is a side profile of Bowie in character. It was designed to be a pun meaning ‘low profile,’ but also a reference to Bowie’s psychological troubles. After filming The Man Who Fell to Earth and the controversial statements by his Thin White Duke persona, Bowie left Los Angeles and moved to France with Iggy Pop. Then they moved to Berlin together. There he met Brian Eno and producer Tony Visconti. Bowie had always displayed a fascination for German Krautrock – bands such as Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, and NEU!.
Grounded in art-rock and experimental rock, Low goes further to explore ambient and electronic music, while the influence of Brian Eno and the Berlin atmosphere proved to be crucial.
Yin-yang balance and brutal drum sound
The division between the two sides of the album is almost tangible. Side One gathers avant-pop song fragments, while Side Two has longer, mostly instrumental tracks. Bowie stated that the first side was about himself and his prevailing moods at the time, while the second side was about his observations while living in Berlin. Discussing the peculiar album structure, Visconti stated:
We felt that getting six or seven songs with Bowie singing, with choruses and verses, still make for a good album…then making the second side instrumental gave a perfect yin-yang balance.
Some of the songs, such as Speed of Life and A New Career in a New Town, were supposed to have lyrics, but Bowie could not come up with any words. He eventually left them as instrumentals.
The structure of single tracks mirrors the contrast between the two sides. Despite being closer to a conventional pop song, Sound and vision shows a striking contrast between depressing lyrics and upbeat music.
In Warszawa, melancholy and beauty combine. The piece is clearly influenced by Eno’s work. The song features vocals from Bowie which remind the listener of a choir of monks singing, yet without words.
The album features a characteristic drum sound, described as “brutal” and “mechanistic.” Namely, it changes the pitch of a sound without changing the speed. By that, it feels as if it is always renewing itself.
The pursuit of inner peace
Low drags us on the tour of an imaginary East Berlin with the isolate, troubled character seeking inner peace. In the following years, the album was going to have a dramatic impact on both post-punk – and its use of synthesized music – and post-rock. Its sense of isolation and the urge to reconnect with others keeps mirroring some of the alienating conditions of today’s Zeitgeist.

A GameCentral reader tries to analyse Nintendo’s current problems with the Wii and 3DS and asks whether they can remain on top for another generation.
The collective human mind that is the internet tells us that Nintendo are about to announce a new console. Speculation is rife about how they’re going to recover from the problem Wii years. Websites are groaning under wishlists for must have features that might help catch up with Microsoft and Sony. It’s worth a moment to think about the difference between Microsoft and Sony on one hand, and Nintendo on the other. M&S (sorry) are big corporations and the PlayStation 3 and Xbox are parts of them. The need to turn a profit from their consoles is offset by the advantage of increasing brand awareness.Someone who had a PlayStation as a child might be more likely to buy a television from Sony, or an Xbox owner less likely to question Microsoft’s stranglehold over all things geek. Nintendo only do games. It’s their bread and butter. If games fail, so do they. If M&S cram a console with tech and sell it at a loss they can take the hit in other ways. If Nintendo do they’re taking a huge risk, not even a string of new love hotels would help soften the blow. The GameCube and Nintendo 64 competed on the same field as Sony and then Microsoft. We all know what happened there. Handheld gaming and Pokémon kept Nintendo ticking. Something Sega couldn’t turn to, R.I.P. Dreamcast, etc. So they did something different with the Wii. And it’s outsold PlayStation 3 roughly 2:1 and it’s outsold Xbox 360 roughly 2:1. They sold over 20 million bathroom scales bundled with some exercises. Mario Kart Wii has sold very big as well. A 2D side-scrolling ‘New’ Super Mario Bros. has sold similar or more numbers than Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 put together. The lesson? You can make money without pushing technical boundaries. So where is the incentive to go head-to-head with M&S again? I think Nintendo have some stuff to think about. I don’t think they can take the success of 3DS for granted. Competition from smartphones and especially Apple might leave their approach to pricing and software distribution looking outdated. The launch of 3DS hasn’t filled me with confidence. No eShop at launch and I still can’t play someone at Street Fighter then send them a friend request so we might play again if I enjoyed the matches. I have to see them face-to- face or swap friend codes on a forum. Another poor indicator from the 3DS launch is the approach of third parties. Lots of half-arsed ports and rush jobs are the response to Nintendo leaving the floor open for them to take the spotlight. Only Street Fighter shines, and that’s a port too. Nintendo may as well have done that Pokémon game with the AR card tabletop battles that the Internet wants to see after all. How can they get third parties on board for their new console? Two ways, I think. First make it technically impressive enough to satisfy them. And second, fill a truck with money and go and make an offer Rockstar can’t refuse for an exclusive Grand Theft Auto: Mushroom Kingdom. Flippant, but you see the point. Nintendo may have annoyed a lot of people with the Wii and perhaps alienated long time fans but what would have happened if they’d tried to slug it out with M&S again? I own all three consoles and enjoy them all. I’m glad the Wii isn’t the same as the other two. It’s given me new experiences I’m glad to have enjoyed. The criticism it gets seems harsh to me. I guess that’s always the way when you’re different. Will Nintendo’s new console broaden gaming again and see them prosper or will it be buried like the Dreamcast and, worst case, will the 3DS be unable to carry them through? A software only Nintendo? Hope not.By DaveThe reader’s feature does not necessary represent the views of GameCentral or Metro.

US President Donald Trump might be in the middle of impeachment hearings set up by House Democrats, but that did not deter him from sitting down and enjoying Todd Phillip’s “Joker” starring Joaquin Phoenix at the White House.
Joker has been met with immense success and smashed multiple box office records. Even without showing in China, the movie has quickly become one of the most successful movies ever made as millions of people across the planet continue to catch showings of the film. Now, it appears the president of the United States himself, Donald Trump, wanted to see what all the hype was about by screening the acclaimed movie at the White House.
According to Yahoo, a senior White House official confirmed Trump screened the movie with some “family, friends, and some staff.” The source also claims Trump “liked” the movie, giving the blockbuster hit another satisfied viewer. That might be the case, but one can’t help but wonder if his opinion would have been different if Alec Baldwin had played Thomas Wayne as he had originally been reported to. On multiple occasions, Trump has tweeted about his disdain for Baldwin as an actor based on his Saturday Night Live performances, and may not have been too thrilled to watch a new movie featuring Baldwin in a major role.

Death metal with a satisfying amount of doom thrown in. Crushing, a bit atmospheric, unrelenting. Vocals are way down in the mix, but present, and it works. It’s all about those filthy guitars. The drums provide a pummeling barrage but aren’t the focus.4:42 Full gallop of the apocalypse horse leads to a staggering breakdown.2:04 This song is more like an interlude, or an idea for a song that didn’t become a fully-fledged piece. Instrumental. 3:47 Intensity picks back up with this track. Funereal doom-reminiscent breakdown before a crashing end.4:16 Moderately fast-paced death leads to a trudging middle section before resuming the onslaught.3:42 Starts out relatively mellow. There’s a somewhat unhinged guitar solo in there.4:58 Features the heaviest, chuggiest riff on the CD.
3LP box set release from 2015 offers six sides to explore full of psych skronk ecstatic noise rock improvisation. Not sure where to drop in? Select Side D. (A breakdown of each side follows below.) On the whole, it’s fun to listen to this genre of music getting made in real time, and with a frenetic, jangled, anxious energy as opposed to happier, tranquil, figure-it-out-eventually, meandering psych jam sessions. Laddio Bolocko go full out on many tracks, exhibiting notable stamina as they work through ideas while keeping their collective foot pegged to the floorboard, tempo- and intensity-wise. They also exhibit a chameleon-like interest in trying out different genres and textures. The best stuff on this collection is more raw and unhinged than the band’s studio releases, and points to the next evolutionary step, notably the Psychic Paramount, the reckless experimental outfit that absorbed half of Laddio Bolocko after its dissolution. Be sure to check out the liner notes printed on each disc sleeve if you’re interested in learning how the musicians lived in New York (both in Brooklyn and upstate), toured, and made these recordings along the way.
Side A: a side-long excerpt from an extended jam made shortly before the saxophone player joined the band. The keyboards featured prominently over a driving drum line give this track the most conventional psych jam feel in the collection. That is, until the end, when the jam devolves into some Casio-keyboard mayhem. Made in the band’s living/rehearsal space in Brooklyn.
Side B: recorded at a house in the Catskills where the band lived for a while, during the same year Laddio Bolocko appeared in the KFJC Pit. B1: an assemblage of multiple sessions/ideas. amorphous noises and drones rise and fall. piano and determined munching of potato chips or similar snack gives way to some strange western saloon crossed with a science experiment. eerie scifi vibes. B2: noodlings and wanderings, particularly on sax. B3: percussion-driven composition with other noisy and sax-induced parts.
Side C: more from the Catskills sessions. C1: a bit more smoothed-out sibling to B3, driving percussion with minimalist keyboard element. C2: starts out mellow; drums, bass, and sax. it’s mellow but there’s always some tension brooding under the surface. C3: recorded audio detritus lends some interesting sonic textures. C4: the elusive guitar resurfaces in this amalgamation of attempts and explorations. bass and drums tend to keep things held down while other sounds flit about. C5: sharp, high-pitched machine whine with some sort of drum machine going in the background. C6: ritualistic drums, twisted carnival organ, redlining sax squawk.
Side D: return to Brooklyn. D1: brief, cool-sounding bass line with drums and sax. D2: probably the standout track on the collection. The guitar establishes a driving rhythm and the band begins to build structures around it. The drummer, bassist, and sax player had heard the guitar part for a few minutes before laying this track down, so the spontaneous ignition happening here is pretty amazing. Mesmerizing result. D3: Part B to the previous track’s Part A. Adds synth to the mix, guitar soars, and plays like a sinister doppelgänger to the pt. A’s beauty. Super rad, down to the moody dissolution to close it out.
Sides E and F were recorded live in Slovenia. These are driving, straight-ahead, full-throttled tracks that should fit in a variety of sets. A couple tracks are live versions of tracks found on the studio album “As If In Real Time”. E2 is a quick shot of adrenaline. E3 provides a glimpse into the band’s ability to play with dynamic range and respond to each other in a live context. Tension built and released. F1: another version of the track included in the Live From the Devil’s Triangle v1 compilation. The end of this track bleeds right into the F2, where they get into a live jam. F3 closes out the collection with a melding of the eccentricity of the Catskills jams and the intensity of their live improvisations. Breakdowns amidst the freakouts allow the sound of the audience to come through.
There’s something quite compelling and rich in the sounds presented here. They tower above our heads like spectral skyscrapers rusting in place, stone monoliths clothed in frost, rivers of ice excavating trench graves. Deathprod, the project of Helge Sten, has been piquing the interest of KFJC DJs for some years now, as evidenced in reviews by Cinderaura, Muad’Dib, and Louis Caliente. At times the sounds are punctuated by pauses, or rise and fall in waves, or maintain a near-steady state of presence. Landscapes of cold, bare earth, toxins carried on currents. Nothing on the previous three sides really prepares you for the massive, overdriven “Black Transit of Jupiter’s Third Satellite”. It arrives fully formed, a behemoth. Thunders, temblors, acrid scourings, wave after wave in slow evolution, shaping the new normal. Or rather, those three sides of electronic exploration have perfectly prepared you for the arrival of “Jupiter”. Intercepted messages sent from the future.
This compilation CD captures remixed and original Merzbow compositions from 23 years ago. The seven tracks you can actually hear (more on this at the end of the review) provide a fairly eclectic spectrum from techno to unrelenting noise. The opening Jim O’Rourke track is a little sleepy, but Merzbow’s track 2 goes off like a rocket engine. Panasonic’s remix on track 3 brings some rhythm discipline to the noisewash, positively toe-tapping after the track 2 sandblaster. The juxtaposition of minimalist house beats and high-RPM machine noise is mesmerizing. Rehberg/Bauer reformulate ear-piercingly high pitches; this track is built for pain. Russell Haswell’s remix “Micromedley” is indeed a bit of a grab bag, with an extraordinary variety of sounds and textures, some found, some synthesized, that never stays in the same place for very long. Autechre’s contribution is decidedly in the vein of Autechre—a reliably late 90s exploration of programmed percussion and bouncing tones. It will lull you into a relaxed state just in time for Merzbow to vaporize you with more blast furnace heat. The closing track by Bernhard Günter is either 14+ minutes of silence, or it’s mixed so quietly as to be essentially unusable on the air.
Descriptions of death metal with ambitions to take on more, in terms of technical complexity, composition, nerdy science fiction novel themes, and face-melting riff architectures serve as a warning for some listeners. The genre simply isn’t for everyone, and can be polarizing amongst metal adherents. That being said, if you’re up for this kind of thing, Blood Incantation delivers. I’m freaking out over this recording (captured on 2″ magnetic tape, as it turns out).
Track 1 is death metal that bursts from the gates at full throttle, spliced with passages that flash some progressive leanings, as soaring riffs occasionally rise from the onslaught. This track, it seems, is intended to lay a solid foundation of razor-sharp brutality; the proggy quotient will gradually increase as the record progresses.
Track 2 continues where track 1 leaves off—for the most part, it starts out brutal and technical. Two minutes in, they break into a Middle Eastern-referencing, ancient Egypt spacecraft-invoking passage that reminded me of “In Their Darkened Shrines” by Nile—but only obliquely. Though resolutely technical, Blood Incantation never indulge a sometimes detrimental laser focus on technical prowess that made sections of “In Their Darkened Shrines” overstay their welcome. This slower-tempo passage continues up to minute 6, when the pace and intensity begins to rebuild.
Track 3 is an early favorite of mine, as it’s so easily distinguished from the other tracks. Almost (but not quite) exclusively instrumental, a quiet, fever dream introduction leads to beautiful, hypnotically interwoven guitar parts that build like a storm. Such beauty is then released and a satisfyingly odd time-signatured pummeling takes over, only to close with a return of the hypnotic riff.
Track 4 is an eighteen-minute, three-part sprawling opus (with a sprawling track title to match) that exhibits the full range of textures, time signatures, riffs, and mayhem the band is capable of producing. An ambient breakdown at minute six provides a mind-altering rest complete with a Pink Floyd “On the Run”-style synthesizer part. Just before they go too far into Floydish diversions, they return with headbang-inducing fury. There’s a lot here to unpack, many interwoven themes that I can’t always trace together. By the 14th minute, I don’t remember how the thing started, but it doesn’t really matter, because this particular part of the track is so beautiful. It’s a long journey but every passage has its own rewards. I’m looking forward to playing the track in its entirety where the break clock can accommodate it.
This CD from Thunder Bay’s Alienator starts out with…are those some stoner grooves mixed with hardcore vocals? I’m cool with the idea, but the initial tracks didn’t really speak to me. The album improves as it progresses though. Starting with track 6, “Renovicted (Ode to Vancouver)”, the band really gets after it and cuts loose, demanding my full attention. Track 7, “Drag the River”, is good too—an interesting riff is matched to some urgency and dynamic shifts/builds. 8, “LRH”, keeps the momentum going at a good clip. 10, “Intravenous Flytrap”, has thick sludgy riffs woven with galloping old-school metal riffs, but can they hold the momentum? Tracks 11 and 12 are okay, but not quite as memorable, followed by a decent close-out track. Situated amongst other recent additions to our library, Alienator isn’t yet bringing the fury, from a hardcore perspective, at the same level as Cell Rot, and within the metalcore vein, the songwriting lacks some of the dynamism of Call of the Void. In the early tracks the instruments attempt some variety in terms of tone and intensity, but the vocals tend to stay on one level, and though heavy, we’ve come to expect people working in this genre to either sound like they’re ripping their vocal chords out, Jake Bannon-style, or threading their sounds with angular, unconventional riffs. Alienator have a good basis to work from but might need to figure out where they’re going to push it harder. If it were a five-song EP comprised of tracks 6, 7, 8, 10, and 13, I’d be less nit-picky. FCC track 13.
This is the first album in the newly reconstituted version of Swans. Moving forward, Michael Gira will assemble a shifting cohort of collaborators based on the specific needs of the project. Many musicians on “Leaving Meaning” have worked on earlier albums by Swans and Angels of Light. This is a gentle and contemplative album compared to some previous Swans works. Gira often uses a soothing vocal style, accompanied by richly textured but spare arrangements. In the CD format, the 90-plus minutes of material are split over two discs. Track D1-3, “The Hanging Man” and D2-4, “Some New Things” are a bit more tense and writhing, and perhaps more reminiscent of recent Swans works. The title track, D1-5, is hypnotic and achingly beautiful, trance-inducing Gira vocals with piano, double bass, and percussion provided by members of the Necks. Track D2-5, “What Is This?”, runs in a similar vein. Track 6 on each disc has FCCs.
Carlton Melton does psych—or, to quote The Quietus from a nice write-up of the album, astral psych. One observation from The Quietus that resonates with me is the idea that CM have been on a mission to distill their sound over the years, perhaps break it into its component parts. Their recent live mic in the Pit (11/2/2019) is evidence of their current working method, and the same could be said of “Mind Minerals”, their most recent LP, released last year. Each track takes a limited host of sounds and explores them inside and out, giving them time to breathe and expand. The album has its more rocking moments, but a lot of it is slow and patient jams and noodlings. So definitely more open-ended, free-form, and minimalistic than, for example, “Out to Sea” from 2015.
A1: Big, amorphous intro.
A2: Establishes a straightforward beat, pretty deliberate in not changing up the routine too much to start.
A3: Mellow, serene. Staring up at a starry night sky.
A4: Starts out with the drums running solo, and then the guitar comes in hot. Definitely the most rocking song on this side.
B1: Droney synths with a hint of percussion, minimalistic.
B2: Easy drive down a country back road. Rolling along, but not in a hurry. The fields pass by.
C1: Let’s open it up a bit and ride the cymbals, let the amps scream. Let’s not be hasty and settle into it.
C2: Droney, meandering guitars and minimal percussion. Sun-faded memories.
C3: A synth patterns starts out this very minimal slice of mood.
D1: Blissed out, spaced out patterns. Best track for considering the inner spaces.
D2: Turned-up amps blazing. One last jam before fading to noise.
This is beautiful, devastating black metal from 2004, re-released 15 years later. This is the last full-length from Armagedda before they disbanded to pursue other projects. Over the span of their three full-length releases, the band initially helped define black metal at the start of the century, and then immediately began pushing against nascent orthodoxies. “Ond Spiritism” is marked by a full sound—layers of immense, immersive guitar and bass, and excellent instrumentation. Vocals drip with evil while remaining clearly discernible (lyrics are in Swedish). There’s a fair amount of variety in the compositions—varying textures and tempos, including the occasional use of minimally distorted guitar. Tracks B2 and B4 are shorter, quieter pieces; the former features a simple, echoing guitar against a backdrop of falling rain, and the latter features a choral element with mournful, atmospheric keyboards. But the other tracks are furious and unrelenting. An early favorite is track A4, which uses a simple, driving structure that repeats to create an atmosphere of loss, mourning, and despair, while also teeming with urgency and dark energy. Tracks A1 and A2 both start with simple guitar passages before ramping up to full intensity. As soon as the record ends, I just want to start playing it again.
I imagine some will detect an influence of John Zorn, maybe Red-era King Crimson… Here follows my travelogue through this slab of heavy, turned up progressive sounds from the NYC three-piece called PAK. 1: The machinery is slowly starting to move. Heavy machinery, lumbering, tentative explorations, directions attempted. 2: Sharp guitar (you can feel how hot the amp was in the studio), assertive bass, drums keep this thing from spinning off the rails. Mathy, proggy (mildly thinky), with breakdowns 3: Some early chugging structures. Driving, with wild swerves off the road and back, can make for a bumpy ride. 4: Eerie, formless sounds streak across a night sky as percussion and other instruments begin to assert themselves, but the overall vibe is spaced-out and pensive—the machinery sleeps a restless sleep. 5: Kicks off with a straight-forward (for this group) riff, and even has a guitar solo at the third minute. By far the “jammiest” track on the record. 6: The only track with vocals exhibits an anti-consumerist rant. Musically it kind of drags a bit in the beginning, particularly since earlier tracks 1-4 are sonically adventurous by comparison. After about 4 minutes it picks up and starts to motor along with guitar work that weirdly reminded me of Larry LaLonde in early-90s Primus recordings. When the tempo slows down again, we are wading through sludge. The bizarro guitar sound at the end is a well-suited conclusion. 7: Gradually falls into a nearly hypnotic groove with loopy digressions. The last two minutes devolve into a sonic unravelling.
PAK recently played the Uptown with PG13, whose record I reviewed a few months ago, and the bill makes sense: this is heavy, pounding music with weirdness and time signatures that are proggy enough to flirt with jazz.
Archgoat are a venerable Finnish death metal band that wield elements of black metal. They are willing to slow it down slightly and allow some doomy elements in, but mostly it’s high-speed, stripped-down, no-frills Satan worship. Low, throaty vocals are brutal and uncompromising. Guitar work is tight and provides the essential ideas without extraneous detail. Reviews note that “The Luciferian Crown” marks a turn to more complex song structures than previous releases, perhaps augmented by the addition of a new drummer who demonstrates a means of playing within Archgoat’s sound while shaping it to his own ends. Or maybe it’s due to the fact that the band takes a lot of time between full-length releases: this is only their fourth LP since 2006. Good production quality permeates the roughly 30 minute recording. Track A1 is a very brief atmospheric intro that quickly gives way to a thundering maelstrom with slower breakdowns. A4 Starts out with some squealing animal sounds, then brings headbang-worthy riffage in copious amounts. A5 begins with an almost punk feel, making for a fairly old-school sound that serves as a reminder that the first incarnation of the band released their first demo in 1989. A6 Starts with some creepy forest sounds before getting into the fast blast-beats. Tracks on side B consistently hover around four minutes in length, and many feature slower breakdowns and keyboard elements. B2 is a slower track that elicits slower fluctuations of the head upon the quavering neck. Track B4 even has a brief clean bass solo. Any track on the record will do the trick.
First side is minimalist, with chanted lyrics in German. Mostly two bass notes bowed repetitively with a smattering of other instrumentation. Sonically, it’s a 10-minute death shuffle back and forth across a gray, frozen courtyard. Second side is generally a bit more psychedelic. Longer-form textures. Distinctly electronic noises careen back and forth, high-pitched waves approach uncomfortable levels. There might be a guitar in there and some organic-sounding percussion. Overall a nice eight-minute space-out anxiety trip. For extra fun, play at 33rpm.
Beware ye seekers of wildly unfamiliar sonic terrain. Bay Area-based Iron Crown adheres to the ancient bong-riffing rites. (Ancient, in this case, dates back to period between 1970 and the mid-90s.) They have studied their predecessors and submit their offerings to the sacrificial altar, already piled to the rafters with stoner dreams from days of yore. Following on their debut release from a couple years prior (also in the KFJC library), “Before the Void” was well-recorded at Oakland’s Earhammer. The riffing is well-assembled. The regular-dude vocals prevalent on most of the tracks are a little out of place, but on the other hand it may differentiate Iron Crown’s sound from similar artists. Detractors will point to the lack of originality, but sometimes a smoke-shrouded slab of doom doesn’t need much alteration. Dune Rider is a nice instrumental track that moves along at a good clip, but the album is fairly consistent throughout, with no tracks lasting much more than five minutes, and no FCCs.
Human—machine juxtaposition, taken very seriously. It’s a good use of its context, the Center for Automotive Research in Columbus, Ohio. Robots were building a race car during the recording. The building’s machinery has a compelling voice, and the recording captures this as well as its cavernous acoustics. Compositions are slow builds, with pounding percussion, to wailing guitar passages. I found the vocals hard to take in the early tracks—desperation shading into near whimpering. Over an hour and ten minutes of material is presented, and a bit of it feels like filler. Tracks 5, 6, 10, and 11 recommended. Track 12 is maybe the best, if you simply want a rock song. Track 13 is okay too. FCC on track 8 (fucking).
Consistently beautiful, minimal compositions of guitar, awash in cavernous echoes. Stephen O’Malley of Sunn0))) provides guitar, and François Bonnet (who also works under the project name Kassel Jaeger) pursues studio manipulations of those sounds. The effect is tranquil but brooding, the slow unfolding of night shadows, wind howling on lonely mountaintops. The last track is distinct from the others due to its more assertive use of keyboard drones. Its title means “steps in the ashes”, and one can picture a film where a survivor steps out into the light of a ruin and considers a broken future.
Two to three minute bursts of lo-fi, Satan-worshipping black metal from Eureka, California (though originally from Norway). The record starts with an interesting, quiet intro, vaguely ominous, nearly pleasant. But everything after that charts a descent into the defiled pit. Wreathed in filthy guitar tone, a spectral distortion cleansed of its soul. Sometimes the drums come in really high in the mix—some tom strikes achieve a separation so as to be disembodied from the band. In this lineup they still had a bass player, and at best he adds a bit of thickness to the din. Super washed-out vocals are the right sound for this maelstrom. If side A isn’t suitably lo-fi, switch to side B, which is all rehearsal versions, including rehearsal versions of tracks found on side A. The guitar tone here is more of a common noisy variety and loses some of that “spectral” quality noted earlier. It’s clear that they just went through the set, playing each track in succession, so it’s a cool approximation of a live recording. The last track is the filthiest of all, like it was recorded by a single mic going into a Radio Shack tape recorder. The cymbal crashes just clip out completely. This is a heavy dose of sickness.
Oakland’s Cell Rot released this deput LP just over a year ago, and now it’s time to bring it to the KFJC airwaves. Recommended for heavy rotation: this is well-built hardcore flecked with metal, completely enraged and death-obsessed. The album basically drops into full speed after the introductory track and doesn’t relent. Drop in, spit your pain and disgust, repeat. Tracks are short and to the point. The vocals are furious and consistent throughout, finding that balance between control and abandon. That description could apply to the instruments as well: the band is tight without sounding uptight; they hit their marks with enough confidence to allow reckless performance to inflect the outcome. The record is so consistent that any track will do (look out for a couple FCCs). Well, except for the intro, which really is an intro, consisting of just a vocal track and brooding, ominous guitar feedback, and leads immediately to the following track. Playing both “Intro” and “Born Into Pain” could be a nice choice, and that will still only take 2:29 to play. Tracks are typically threaded together with walls of feedback—in other words, there aren’t clean breaks between tracks and you’ll have to rev up to 33 quickly when cueing (plus cut away quickly to your next track at the end). The last track, “No Redemption”, is a great way to close out the record, and might be my early favorite.
Ramleh have been honing their craft, off and on, for 37 years. When the band reformed in 2009, they set out to work in both the power electronics sound typical of their early days and with a more straight-up bass-guitar-drums rock sound. With this double LP we hear a variety of sounds: droney electronics, straight-up noise rock, indignant vocals with understandable lyrics, fuzzed out drum machines, and meandering guitars. Despite this eclecticism, Ramleh manage to carry a sonic theme throughout. (The lyric themes and the track titles—Futureworld, No Music For These Times, Your Village Has Been Erased—are easy enough to thread together.) The sound trends dark but isn’t unrelentingly dark. Favorite tracks: D3, D1, A1
A1. Big, oceanic synth sounds and textures. Brooding bass portends doom. Drums provide a light touch. Instrumental. Towards the middle of the track, things start to pick up. Tempo, guitar complexity. This long track is somewhat different from the rest of the album, but again, there are sonic themes, a mood in the sound, that can be traced throughout.
B1. Driving drums and bass. Vocal element. “Virus synths”. They take a theme and ride it hard, which is perhaps another way of saying it’s borderline repetitive. Towards the ends there’s a bit of a freak-out noise break-down.
B2. Thick ascending/descending synth part reminiscent of Recognizers. Digital big brother perhaps? Guitar wanders in and out, but the synth drone is predominant, especially in the beginning. Instrumental.
C1. Pretty conventional-sounding rock song, complete with cowbell. (!)
C2. Ominous synths with barked vocals, a soundtrack for civil disorder and the unravelling of society. The shortest track on the album by a long-shot.
C3. They kind of jam this one out a little harder. Instrumental. Very rock and roll with dash of noise; has some psychedelic leanings, though to be sure, this is a borderline bad trip.
D1. Doomy beginning, heavy. Vaguely like early Swans. Contains the one FCC on the album (shit). After a solo vocal phrase, there’s a rousing finish. Probably my favorite track on the record.
D2. Synths and drum machines return. Spare at points. A pretty guitar sound swoops in and comes as a bit of a surprise given the pervasive atmosphere of the album.
D3. A heavy rocking piece to close this out. Thick, overdriven bass, layers of delicate guitar work. Epic, suffused with feeling, such disappointment at the way things have gone. Ultimately the song exhorts us to change course; “it’s never too late”.
Malignant are a Southern California-based band delighting in the sonic terrorization of late 80s/early 90s death metal. They don’t stray far from the genre, and why should they? Pummeling drums, crushing guitar, raw-edged bass, and you can just make out the lyrics of abomination, torture, torment, and blasphemy.
The first track is completely unlike the rest. It starts out with some pretty basic synths—a simple bass synth pattern with higher dee-yoo sounds (like something falling to the ground in a video game). Then a cinematic, orchestral swell comes in that’s quite beautiful and had me wondering where it came from. Are they sampling something from a soundtrack? No one in the band takes credit for playing keyboards, and certainly not for arranging an orchestra (or sampling a horror movie score), so it remains a mystery until the internet reveals otherwise.
The table is set for a death metal onslaught. Tracks 2 through 5 are pretty consistent, but 2 and 5 in particular stand out. Track 2 drops with pure ferocity and a satisfying groove before embarking on the fast-tempo assault. Track 5 brings the evil up a notch. To echo my comment about consistency, tracks 3 and 4 are certainly worthy specimens as well. If I have a nitpicky comment, the bass sound is quite good in the mix, but the moments where everyone except the bassist stops playing while the bass continues solo aren’t sharp enough and interrupt the flow of the tracks. However, overall the instrumentation is tight, and Malignant maintain a high level of fidelity to their chosen genre. You will want to spit your disgust at the world. Death Metal cannot die.
The genre of Paysage d’Hiver according to The Metal Archives: Black Metal, Ambient. Paysage d’Hiver is Winter Landscape in French, and as the project is based in Switzerland, the album title, track titles, and lyrics are in German. This release, Kerker, or Prison, was originally released in 1999, and Kunsthall Produktionen has re-released it 20 years later on vinyl with fine packaging. This recording warrants a 20th anniversary. Painted with a seemingly limited palette, the arrangement of these spare elements combine to suggest a story over the course of four tracks. Elements contrast each other and occupy different sonic regions so that they are clearly discernible. It’s at once despairing and beautiful, primarily a richly textured dark ambient piece, with the last track being the closest to conventional black metal; even so, the sounds throughout are much rounder than the grit and abrasion of the most caustic black metal recordings.
A1. “Depth”. In the rumblings, the stirrings of monolithic subterranean beasts who walk in the endless night, disturbing slumbering caverns. Finally, guitar sounds resolve. Is this a ray of light in this dread catacomb? When it falls into naught, the beasts prowl undaunted. This first track blends into the second…
A2. “Steps” …which starts with a new percussive element. Their dark works accelerate unimpeded. Synths build. Glimmers of light, ephemeral, beauty has returned to do battle with the dark beasts. Guitar returns to cry into the darkness, mournful, all is lost. But the rhythmic machine passes. The beasts and the light, flickering, remain. At the conclusion, a voice emerges, confused? Tormented? Rumblings like wind, an ether, a permeating medium through which souls pass. A slow fade to oblivion leads to an abrupt end.
B1. “Shadow”. The rumblings return. Here, little alters this minimal landscape for some time, and new patterns emerge only gradually. Pulses punctuate the rumbles. Ethereal light glimmers in the unrelenting dark. That voice returns, to be overwhelmed by a new malevolence…
B2. “(Passage/Course)” …a master of darkness. In this concluding track, a driving drum machine is buried in the din of the guitar. Still the glimmering light of the synth flitters across the surface while the beastly voice prowls the sonic depths. Guitar and drums cut through the middle. It’s like the beast and the light are in the room with you an the guitar and drums are heard through a wall. The lyrics might mean, “Is this the life course? Immersed in my inner self, I am bound in the time of the universe, I go the slender course about the knowledge of the shadows”. A satisfying dissolution provides a conclusion.

2 stars per each time that Luigi swings Ronald around by the cock.
AHM RUHVIN IT
|Michael Houser |
I would like to see that fight staged in real-life out in front of a Burger King.
This is pure distilled Internet. Some guys made a video game where Ronald McDonald and the Mario Brothers fight in front of a Burger King to "Scatman."
Ronald kills Mario by making him into a giant hamburger.
I love this kind of thing, BUT, part of me thinks this:
On the one hand it's great that 14-year-olds have created this unique and truly postmodern DIY culture. I genuinely think things like this and Youtube Poop represent an exciting movement in culture, one that doesn't even know it's a movement (so, the best kind).
On the other hand, they're reappropriating these corporate mascots without truly subverting their meaning or value, so stuff like this, and all the other Youtube Poop is still functional as a piece of advertising for the brands the characters represent. It's counter-culture that isn't counter-cultural.
In fact, since we're putting these iconic characters into scenarios based on our own values, tastes and sense of humour, the internet's mimetic adoption of Ran Ran Ru, Mario, Robotnik et al is actually more effective at strengthening our relationship with their respective brands than an actual advert would be. It's like my demographic is making its own advertising specifically targeted to itself, without knowing it.
I wonder if McDonalds and Nintendo are pleased about this sort of thing. They probably are!
|Cowboy Funk |
Round 2 is pure madness, right up to the exploding apple as the announcer declares Ronald the winner.
Already not available?
Pretty sure Ronald is based on some King of Fighters sprites, very heavily edited. Also the giant hamburger super is awesome.
Oh, and yes, my super combo involves drowning my opponents in beard.
Doublebeard time, Jojo's Bizzare Adventure was originally an arcade game running on Capcom's CPS3 hardware.
5 stars just for replacing Dio's ZA WARUDO with making a giant burger.
-1 for being typical JOKE characters
-1 for not showing off the awesomeness that is an epic evil ken vs evil ryu CPU battle
Every mugen clip I see uploaded here has all the retarded characters - Great Wario, Peter Griffin, Mario (he was well done but christ it's old now), etc etc... Mugen can be capable of mindbendingly awesome feats of technical face-fistery, and while that may not jive with most of poetv's vids, it's sure as hell a lot more entertaining than watching mario grope ronald mcdonald.
we enjoy this because of the joke characters, not because we give two fifths of a shit about fucking mugen
Yeah, what the world needs is more Shoto clone bullshit.
Shotoclone - a term used only by those balls-deep in shameful post-loss crying.
MUGEN scares and confuses me.
|Louis Armstrong |
Now I'm waiting for omega stephen hawking to appear. Not even omega tom hanks and his magic shoes could withstand the blackhole logic attack.
If I had less of a life and more free time, I would create a MUGEN dude that was basically "The Internet." It would attack you with retarded memes (a series of tubes that fly out and hit you, a rickroll, lolcats, etc.) and could never truly be defeated, because, you know, it's the internet.
I suppose the antithesis of the internet would be "a life". That would be hard to put into MUGEN form, so yeah I geuss the internet MUGEN would be unbeatable.

2PM- Again and Again
If there was ever a K-pop group that was trying way to hard to be the second coming of B2K and N'Sync this is it. My friend Emily showed me this group months ago and I brushed it off (did my usual its "pop fluff" indie snob routine) but as with almost all K-pop Emily shows me I always end up guiltily listening to it weeks later with my curtains drawn and my lights turned off.
Big Bang - Haru Haru
It started off as a joke between all of us in the dorms that this song was really about a gay couple (the two guys singing) and the girl was the one splitting them apart (because judging by the video it sure as hell looks that way if you don't understand Korean) and the guy-liner does not help...obviously its not...to my great disappointment. I still listen to the song though...very guiltily I might add.
Chae Yeon - Two Of Us
This is the most surprising song on the list I think...this ain't my style at all...and yet I listen to it all the time usually at weird times of the day, like 3 in the morning. The guy in the video kind of looks like a creep too...which doesn't help matters.
Se7en - Crazy
He is basically the Korean Usher.

What happens when you take a pill in Ibiza? Well, to start with, you get a big head and you start to resemble papier-mâché…
There’s actually two videos of this song. There’s a video for the original version, which is largely acoustic and kind of boring, as acoustic songs often are. And then there’s this video, which is for SeeB’s remix of the song. The remix is definitely the superior version, though many people refuse to admit it.
(There’s a tyranny of thought that the acoustic version of a song is going to superior to any other version. It’s simply not true. Acoustic often equals boring. At the height of American Idol, there was a rival singing competition called The One, where the whole gimmick was that every performance was acoustic. Only four episodes aired and every single one of them was painful to watch.)
Anyway, as for the song, it’s very much autobiographical. Yes, Mike Posner actually did take a pill in Ibiza and yes, he actually was trying to impress Avicii. In much the same way that Turkish tour guides still tell people that Midnight Express was not a fair representation of the Turkish legal system, tourism official in Ibiza have repeatedly complained that the song’s popularity has led everyone to assume that Ibiza is some place where you only go to get high.
Personally, I’ve never been to Ibiza but I did once take a pill in Capri and that was quite a night.

ENGLISHMEN AND OTHER MUTANTS
The British gangster movie 44 Inch Chest seemed promising when I spotted it on Netflix. A movie starring Ray Winstone, Ian McShane, Tom Wilkinson, John Hurt and Joanne Whalley about a gangster who kidnaps his wife's lover? I was sold. But the movie I actually saw felt like a cruel trick.
(I probably should have done just a few seconds' more research. I didn't find out until after I'd sat through the thing that it was written by the same two men who'd previously given the world Sexy Beast, which I also hated.)
Winstone's wife (Whalley) cheats on him with a younger man. So he beats the man's name out of her and he and his gang—though it should be made clear their criminality is merely implied; no illegal activities other than some violence take place on-screen—drag the hapless boytoy off to a hidden location...whereupon they start yelling at him. And each other. A lot. For the next hour and a half, more or less.
Do you like watching middle-aged Englishmen shout adolescent obscenities at each other? Does the idea of watching Ian McShane mince around while John Hurt screeches hoarsely about how much he loathes gays sound like your kind of evening? Have you wished there was some kind of cinematic diorama that would illustrate the varieties of English masculine sexual dysfunction for you, in the most unsubtle and caricatured manner possible? Then by all means check out 44 Inch Chest. Me, I'm not such a big fan of old men shouting "cunt" at each other at the top of their lungs.
What I am a fan of is Timothy Olyphant. Justified was easily the best new show of this past TV season, and though I never watched Deadwood (didn't have HBO at the time), I've enjoyed his work in a whole bunch of movies: The Girl Next Door, Go, A Perfect Getaway, Meet Bill, even total crap like Hitman and Live Free Or Die Hard.
The Crazies isn't crap. In fact, it's better than the 1973 George Romero original. That one had a good idea—small-town America afflicted with a biohazard that drives the neighbors to homicidal rage—and that's what the remakers kept. They changed a lot more, mostly by paring stuff away. The military perspective, which was present in the first version, has been almost totally excised. All you get is one soldier telling our heroes (and us) that he knows nothing, and a (presumably, since he's driving a black SUV and isn't wearing camo) higher-ranking dude explaining what the pollutant in the town's water supply is, exactly. But that information only comes after people have already been rounded up and divided into the infected and the clean.
Olyphant plays the local sheriff; Radha Mitchell, who also does excellent work in genre movies (Pitch Black, Man On Fire), is his wife. The rest of the cast is basically anonymous (the exposition delivery system in the black SUV is played by Glenn Morshower, a Hey, It's That Guy! of the highest order) but they play frightened Iowans well. The violence is plentiful, but not splattery, and while it doesn't end as well as the Dawn of the Dead remake did, it has a similar fatalism. (Actually, it probably owes more to Return of the Living Dead than anything.)

The streaming wars have been the media and entertainment industry’s all-time favorite topic. Netflix was the one who directed powerhouse in the subscription video on demand (SVOD) world and has been preparing for increased competition from new video platforms, such as Apple TV+ and Disney+. Reed Hastings, Netflix’s CEO said that it’s good for business because “competition grows the industry.” Research from Kantar found that the majority of streamers (44 percent) pay for at least two streaming services, and less than a fifth (18 percent) pay for at least three.
The equivalents of Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, and Netflix have been seen investing billions of dollars in original programming to establish themselves as the market leader. Netflix is expected to house around 1500 TV series and 4000 films while Amazon Prime Video is home to almost 20,000 titles. Moreover, viewers were found spending an hour a day in search of content and the service that will fix this problem will win the streaming wars.
Video streaming providers can also use AI in content discovery to further engage consumers by following the lead of popular music streaming services that are already utilizing AI to provide individual users with curated playlists and personal radio channels. Moreover, a highly accurate assessment of content assets can be made by the advanced AI technologies by documenting factors such as scene length, dialogue, and color palette.
This can help evaluate how similar each asset is to every other asset and then this information can be combined with an AI engine that eventually analyzes a household’s watchlist, bringing together a more advanced and nuanced understanding of the content asset.

The first release was the compilation "No Time To Panic" (LP+7"/CD) that featured bands like NOFX, Rhythm Collision, Overflow, This Side Up, Gigantor, Squirtgun, Bambix,... and sold over 5,000 copies.
Over the following 3 years the label released 13 releases, mostly featuring Punk Rock bands like Discount, J Church, Manges, Boyz Nex' Door, Pea Wees, Mullens,...
The label usually pressed about 500 copies of each release, except for the two compilations (the forementioned No Time To Panic! and the follower Panic Now!) that were pressed in several thousands each.
The label dissolved a couple of years before Helter Skelter went under. When Helter Skelter went bust, Adam continued with his label Goodwill records and Bruno joined a newborn distributor called Goodfellas.
