Am I doing it right?
Hmmm, tough question! I don't really have a strong number one so I'll just post two albums that had the biggest influence on my musical taste and remain my favorite albums of all time.
Wildlife On One by Art of Trance. This one basically introduced me to trance outside the mainstream stuff. Very old-school but wonderful at the same time, a real gem. It made me take interest in acid, and then goa...
Lone Deranger by Hallucinogen. First goa album I ever heard and possibly the best. Took me a few listens to get used to this style but then I got hooked and haven't looked back since :)
I think both of those would fit in my top 10. I could add more, but since you wanted one I think two is more than enough ;)
S0?
Check your email senegal. There's an invite to both sites waiting for you. Congrats!

It also only remotely adheres to any reasonable definition of music as it is pretty much the aural equivalent of being hit over the head repeatedly with a wet noodle,something that senegal probably has more than a passing acquaintance with and undoubtedly linked to his/her apparent affinity for thecrapgenre.

Furthermore scientific study has more or less unequivocally proven people take Ecstasy and various other mood enhancing drugs while listening to trance because it is the only way that any non-lobotomized human could possibly be expected to actually tolerate it.
For anyone interested

Also ,seeing as oddly I have no desire to read the rest of this thread and missed the no doubt witty segue ( insert sarcastic smiley of your choice) , what does E Nazi asterisks have to do with trance?
Now if you are feeling charitable please be a nice person and tell me your taste in films so I can laugh at that as well.
Thanks because seriously to paraphrase one of the Simpsons,Homer I think,you can never be too leet or too thin.
Really though I only posted as an experiment to see what actually qualifies as infractionable spam here.
Apparently nothing.
Btw I'm not bothering to look at my PMs any more so just post whatever you want to tell me here so everyone can have a good laugh at you as well.
Reported for breaking the rules.
My favourite 5 movies all time
-> Lord of the rings(though the books are waaay better)
-> Black hawk down(this movie is mind blowing!)
-> Saving private Ryan(read above)
-> Star wars(what can i say ? ah yah, über)
-> South Park,bigger,longer and uncut(no comment)
Umm OK but maybe you could tell me exactly which "rule" I broke so that I won't do it again?
The books are waay better but that pretty much can be said about any movie from Grapes of Wrath to Kick Ass.That said I'm a Tolkien fan and I more or less disliked the movies for precisely that reason.
Black Hawk Down is Ridley Scott at his best where he is given a story that concentrates on the action and the visuals (his strengths) and not character development where he tends ,even in a movie like Gladiator, to get overly gooey (technical term).
SPR I tend to agree with the French:pinch: that the first 20 minutes are as inventive and brave as anything that you are going to find in Western cinema and after that it is more or less cliche.Although Speilberg's never bad ( OK Temple of Doom was)and Barry Pepper's devoutly religious sniper is pretty neat.
Star Wars only the first 3( with ESB clearly the best - even by Return it was starting to degenerate with the Ewoks) after that it is merchandising,money making crap .
I still love Trey Parker and Matt Stone long after I should probably have stopped(Orgazmo:dabs:).
Btw with that list you've more or less just dispelled any small chance that you are actually female.

I like the order!
Younger than Idol i guess...
Disgraceful. I should start spamming, maybe someday soon I'll get close to anon's :lol:
How much of his other work have you read?
True, I've always found Gladiator a bit "off". It has a nice soundtrack though.
Pretty much this, though South Park was still in its golden years when the movie was made. Blame Canada!
The only worse list of movies I've ever seen in my life was this:

Also I have every Tolkien calendar dating back to the 70's ,my one true enduring link to geekdom.
I stopped at LOTR/The Hobbit/The Silmarillion/The Unfinished Tales/The History of Middle Earth Series. I think I have a few others around here somewhere too.
I'm sure it'll go just as well as your last report :lol:Quote:

Since you asked me what some of my favorites are*, I'd have to say The Curious Case of Benjamin Button/Rain Man/Seven Pounds (go for it, you can make fun of this movie as everyone else does)/Pulp Fiction/Forrest Gump and those are the ones that spring up to mind at the moment.
I never said I have great taste in movies, I just don't believe that that could have been anyone's list. I was ticked off that he probably googled a few reviews over the past few days, and came back prepared to "wow" you with a crappy list of "classics"; and that is exactly what those movies are in most people's opinions (although, I never really liked LOTR/SW).
* - I never actually have a favorite list of anything. I think it's disrespectful/annoying because I will always end up forgetting some good movies/albums/games (not true, I'm very picky when it comes to games), so I'm never naive enough to come up with a "Top 5" list or say that a certain movie I've seen sits above all others.
EDIT: "Everybody's Fine" isn't that bad either. It completely bombed at the box office, but I thought that for what it was, I don't regret it ending or progressing the way it did, rather than follow suit with hundreds of other cliche scenarios.
I couldn't agree more, my top 5 list (if required under penalty of death to make one) changes daily if not hourly as I remember(or forget) something that I liked.
I always say Man for All Seasons is my favorite movie even though not having seen it for many years it probably isn't any more. I just like movies like that or Zulu where there are strong moral choices and characters to look up to for one reason or another and hopefully a bit of action involved .
Like your movies as different as they are they all share certain similarities as well.
Nothing is important and everything is important ,that's basically how life works.
There's a Rule 9?
I think my taste in TV and movies is far too mainstream. I'd definitely get picky on music and games though (pro tip: Modern Warfare 2 is not the best shooter ever released).
The Pursuit of Happyness

I assume that you've registered without reading it. :(
I definitely used to read LOTR more than once/year and I don't even want to think about the total number of reads I've accumulated!
Bah, putting me on the spot like that :P
I did quite enjoy the LOTR movies. I was a big fan of the books and despite a few obvious problems and intentional story changes (I'm pretty sure I said "WTF" out loud when Faramir started taking Frodo and Sam back to Minas Tirith, for instance), I think they remain one of the best book->film adaptations I've seen. Probably because such adaptations are generally terrible.
I've also always loved the James Bond films (despite their clichéd nature, or perhaps because of it). I was quite annoyed that they're trying to "reboot" the series with Daniel Craig, completely removed the essence of the films as far as I'm concerned.
I'm also a big fan of Fight Club.
Most of what I watch is either standard action/thriller flicks or terrible college comedy movies (yes, I've seen the new American Pie films!). While pretty much artistically barren, I generally watch movies to be distracted or entertained so it works out well. I find it's often alot harder for me to set aside 2-3 hours for a film at a time anyway, so I often end up watching TV instead.
I am exposed to quite a bit of "art film" as it were, since my parents love watching that sort of thing and enjoy forcing them upon me. While I've realized I have no appreciation for stuff like Fellini's work (Roma? Seriously? No plot or character development but the cinematography in the ballroom scene won over 9000 awards!), I do occasionally see something I enjoy. We watched one recently called Flame & Citron that was quite good, about two danish resistance fighters during WWII.
Not that anyone asked me, here are some movies I like:
La Haine (France, 1995)
Chan-Wook Park's vengeance trilogy which includes Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy and Lady Vengeance (Korea, 2002, 2003, 2005)
El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth, Mexico/Spain, 2006)
No Man's Land (Bosnia and Herzegovina/Slovenia/Italy/France/UK/Belgium, 2001)
Tropa de Elite (Brazil, 2007)
That's it for now :P
Hors de prix is the one and only french movie I like.
Whaaaaat! :O
My memory's going .
Besides here is a difference between adhering to the essence of the Law and the letter of it.
Case in point I just took my sister and niece to the Ontario Science Center ( Harry Potter exhibit) and they had this booth outlining the Milgram experiment(look it up) and demonstrating blind obedience.
Long story short you were asked without explanation to walk a corridor of black and white tiles and only step on the black ones.Confoundedly almost everyone did( not me rebel that I am:01:).Anyway at the end you learned that nothing bad happened by stepping on the white squares and that you are a blind idiot but that is how society operates or we would all be torching public schools and molesting poultry or something(honestly I didn't read it very carefully as I was more or less still preoccupied at that point with rebelling and finding a place to get pizza)
Thank you for chiming in. I don't watch foreign movies as I oft should. I got around to queuing all 7 movies you recommended in uT. I'll let you know what I think (and probably ask you for more depending on how much I like them). :)
Funnily enough, I was at the Science exhibit (drove my friend from Ottawa to Toronto so he could meet his girlfriend who works there and surprise her) on Thursday. I walked down the black and white hallway abiding to the rules set at the start. Did see some fun stuff, though, I really liked the ascending beads' portrait or whatever it's supposed to be called (and got myself a marauder's map; don't judge me!).
